Ya, we have those too.
I live less than 2 miles from the house where the guy cut up his parents with a chainsaw and in the next neighborhood was the Chattanooga terrorist that shot up the national guard station and the army recruiting office. There are more people in New York so more criminals but people everywhere have lost it.

New York residents will now be charged a $9 congestion toll every time they drive into Manhattan. They are complaining and whining like crazy about it but I am just laughing like crazy. They voted for Hochul and the democrats; now they get stuck with the bill.

Always a great reminder, that this is what they voted for. From Bernie somehow spearheading the “living wage” to crime in NYC.

It's not people in the city complaining about this, it's suburbanites who don't live there. Kind of dumb too because no one has a problem with the (higher) tolls for the Lincoln Tunnel etc.

Sure, but those suburbanites might have to commute there frequently.

Then they're paying $15 every day to go through the tunnels already and God knows how much for parking, when they could just take NJ Transit or the LIRR for much cheaper. Those train systems are way faster and less frustrating than driving into Midtown too.

I once had a client that worked in Manhattan but lived somewhere in CT, he told me his day starts a 4am at the train station by 5. Gets to the office around 7 and does it all again in the evenings, 4-5 hours a day commuting. F that, no way would I do that.

I NEVER stand close to the subway tracks in ANY city. I wonder how long it will be before NY walls off the train from the platform. There are several big cities around the world that already do that. Of course walls don't work so....

I know some people who do that too, though most are in the office maybe 3 days a week instead of 5. Either way I've never understood it. CT must be really nice, if I wanted to avoid NYC taxes I would just live across the Hudson in NJ

LOL Because NJ taxes are sooooooo much better. I will pay less property tax on my place with 90 acres in 3 years than you would in a $300,000 house in NJ. $2,600 vs almost $10,000. (And I paid a lot more for my house)
