is New York City dead?

My wife and I spend about $600 a month at the grocery store for the two of us, and we eat good food and buy things that would be considered luxuries by the kind of people who get pissed off at migrants or poor people on food assistance programs, so $1400 for four people seems pretty good.

Man, i don’t live in that food desert, but that seems helpful.

It’s starting with 10 whole families, because they funded it initially from what they dug out the couch. 10 families?!

USDA national numbers https://fns-prod.azureedge.us/sites/default/files/resource-files/Cost_Of_Food_Low_Moderate_Liberal_Food_Plans_February_2024.pdf

low cost plan is about $250 per person per month. round up for NYC and then don't ask people to eat shit, and you get $1400+ for a family of four.

I doubt migrants have a lot of access to facilities for food storage or cooking in that area. Some pleb with a chest freezer and an instant pot could probably live like a king or whatever

Adams should be ashamed in more ways than one

same lawyer as elon musk lmao

Weird that Quinn does that at way below market rate. Only shows that they feel like they’re getting something else out of it. Whole thing is fucked up and I dont understand why a city law dept attorney can’t defend him.

never thought i would miss di blasio, but this fucking guy is the worst

and it's only been like 18 months since people were all like 'National Democrats Can Learn from Eric Adams'

It really seems like there’s nothing good about him. DeBlas at least had a few bright spots. Universal pre-k stands out.

Windy af today
Wish I was at the top of the Brooklyn dark tower

Swayin’

I went to Hamburger America today and damn if that isn't the most excellent burger (the Motz Onion Burger).

Will try

on first impression the Brooklyn Paramount is really a great music room, and gorgeous.
