Deep pocketed/tech savvy hipsters will go through private means where there is a lack of gov't funding/initiative. Sounds good to me

How so? It's basically gonna require the city to spend more money adding extra bus service, more unnecessary construction, and basically make an already congested place more congested.
The L train project is supposed to be only 18 months.

None of it makes any sense

These folks really didn't sit down and think about moving into NYC thoroughly. these folks really turning themselves foolish over a trend which is probably gonna die out soon anyway.

More buses is bad?

where you think the money is going to come from?

 

[BigMan]

where you think the money is going to come from?

So no expansion of the bus service because people have to pay for it?
You realize there’s already plans to expand bus service right?

If construction comes out of their own pocket and its cost effective I don't see the issue. Now reading up on this it seems like even if they get the start up money the MTA would likely not approve it. So the costs is not on the MTA unless I'm reading it wrong.

Personally, I think the plan is bullshyt because it's basically some temporary shyt to catering to some people living in Williamsburg and Bushwick. It's stupid. They all have different options. They'll live. Basically some hipsters and yuppies that aren't even going to stay in that area or the city that have to be forced tI explore the very same city theyve closed themselves from and managed to change while confining themselves to six neighborhoods. Every few years, the MTA is doing some sort of trackwork on a east river tunnel or crossing. Not sure if you guys remember the number of years it took for them to fix the Manhattan and Williamburg bridge tracks. Hell, I remember when they pretty much shut down the south side of the Manhattan bridge train tracks from the time i was a toddler until I was in high school. They changed the colors to the Q. Damn near 20 years. I still have the subway maps of the reroutes and everything somewhere.

With the service interruptions, people just took the alternative routes and it didn't affect them. They just adjusted to it and kept it moving.

But these folks coming from abroad thinking that everybody that came before they stepped in has to revamp and cater to them. From long time residents, businesses and city officials and laws. No. They CHOSE to move to a congested with a decaying infrastructure to be trendy and cool for the moment. Let them enjoy the experience they are overpaying for. Let them see why some of us look at these folks really trying to give up living in the suburbs with space and cars and yards to live in somewhere like Williamsburg and Bushwick for 3,000 dollars a month to be cool. Lol.

They literally are making it unaffordable to live in the NYC metro area period.

But they are willing to construct and pay for something that undermines the inconvenience so I'm struggling see the problem. If they were asking taxpayers to subsidize their plans I could see there being some type of beef.

I get your point. I just think it's unnecessary because it's some elitist bullshyt for some that may eventually be a problem for the city and everyone else that aren't using it.

 

[waltthizzney]

same problem in Toronto, so much foreign capital that are pricing out people that actually live here, hell 30$ of the economy is based on real estate development

There is no problem, he is just crying and complaining like most people in this thread. Wishing for the old days and never seeing the future. The common theme is to blame hipsters. Don’t blame the actual landlords and builders who really control everything. Don’t be mad the politicians who allowed things to get this way. Just complain like a fukking woman.

How Trump Plans to Evict Poor Families From Public Housing

This will hit NYC tremendously.

Gotta pay for those tax cuts. You can't cut that much tax revenue and not expect programs to get shrunk.

I still have a hard time understand why the city shouldn’t operate or expand bus service to compensate for the L train shutdown. Is everyone inthe L an evil hipster?

Naw, its just some bullshyt sponsored by greedy ass real estate developers, only concerned with keeping up their dollars and cashing in on a trend. I'm looking at it from a more wider view.
