民主政治在灾难之下真是不能看啊。 现在纽约市长和纽约州长在吵这个了。 BN) Homeless Squatters on NYC Subways Spark City-State Dispute Homeless Squatters on NYC Subways Spark City-State Dispute 2020-04-29 09:00:00.2 GMT By Henry Goldman (Bloomberg) -- The apparent increase in homeless people occupying New York City subway cars has ignited a new dispute between Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo over who’s responsible and what’s the best way to deal with the problem. The dispute went public after de Blasio proposed overnight shutdowns of 10 end-of-line stations to “deep clean” cars and to allow police and social-service workers to coax the homeless into shelters. That drew a sharp rebuke from the governor, who said the mayor’s policy was disrespectful to essential workers who depend on the trains, and to the homeless themselves. “That is disgusting what is happening on those subway cars,” Cuomo said Tuesday during a news briefing. “We’re concerned about homeless people, so we let them stay on the trains without protection in this epidemic of the Covid virus? No, we have to do better than that.” The city’s comeback from its shelter-in-place lockdown depends on a well-functioning subway, which carried millions of riders a day before the pandemic. Since then, the state Metropolitan Transportation Authority has reported ridership down about 90%. “It all depends on having a unified and successful plan to make the city confident, and that means making sure the transit system is back in a way that people feel safe and comfortable,” said Kathryn Wylde, president of the Partnership for New York City, a civic organization composed of corporate chief executives. Sarah Feinberg, interim president of New York City Transit, which operates the system for the MTA, said the pandemic has intensified a problem that’s existed for decades. “The MTA workforce shouldn’t have to clean up trash, personal belongings, soiled items, drug paraphernalia, excrement and bodily fluids,” Feinberg wrote in a Tuesday New York Post opinion piece. “Our customers shouldn’t have to board a car that has multiple people using it as a shelter and as a trash receptacle or toilet. And the essential front-line personnel working to keep this city safe shouldn’t have to encounter panhandling and trash or threats on their already-stressful commutes.” De Blasio’s plan would close 10 subway terminals from midnight to 5 a.m. Shuttle buses would take riders to the next stops. “We want to create a change where everyone gets out of the station,” de Blasio said. “Our homeless outreach workers are there to engage and get people support, take them right away.” About 6,000 homeless people have been placed in hotels so far, and there’s room for more, de Blasio said. That leaves shelters less crowded and staffed with mental health and social- service workers, he said. He called the plan a “game changer.” Tuesday afternoon, Feinberg said there were signs that the city was taking some responsibility, but needed to do more. “They had NYPD officers out and social workers and outreach workers out in one station and look it was a huge help,” she said in a WCBS radio interview. “But what I need is for them to be in all of the end-of-line stations. So one station last night was great, but I need them in the other 40 as well.

纽约一直在阴跌啊，应该没人买房是为了升值吧。你说“如果” 犯罪率上升，其实那是个Big If, 过去30年的两大趋势，一是所有大都市地区犯罪率持续下降，二是年轻人喜欢住在大城市而不是郊区，不是那么容易改变的。
要说方便舒适，走路10分钟到公司，顶级餐馆到处都是，各种世界顶级的文化资源唾手可得，哪里也比不了岛上，说实话我不信岛上住惯了的人能享受乡下的生活。
16年到现在也4年了啊，不算短吧？
不知道你说的中低价位范围是多少，我们买的2bd，最高到过230万，去年成交价170万。我朋友买的2bd，最高成交价到过150万，他成交的是115万。我觉得跌的很厉害了。其实我们本来想买3bd，就是觉得长期会跌，所以先买个便宜的将来再换。
住在城里的花销确实比郊区高多了，除了房子还有city tax，每个月的额外消费可以再付一个大房子的mortgage了，我觉得就是为了方便舒适付出的代价吧。如果哪天真的变的乱七八糟，肯定要搬走了，但是我觉得可能性很小。
Queens据说是涨的最多的，因为起点低，affordable。
疫情这么严重，我知道好几个不愿意回NJ 父母家的House,坚持住在城里公寓里WFH, 上网课的
你要逃赶紧，有的是人来接盘。我知道的就不少想到纽约买房子，无奈囊中羞涩，买不起
租房啊
曼哈顿是有人买，出的都是low ball offer加上来回cost卖家亏个10%容易得很，但是曼岛有房的其实不缺cash flow，大不了贴钱出租
打算卖房去免税州，州税加city tax也差个百分之十几，一年拿到手差不少钱
湾区就算了，华人太多狂推娃，环境也不咋地，税也比纽约少不了多少，吃的一个差
上班近永远都是优势好吧。
老的coop都不是中央空调，每家各自的unit，怎么会一感染一串？这次疫情没有出现整楼一起感染的就是很好的证明。
我刚刚看了看我们楼的financial report和维修历史，一点问题都没有。你的一手资料贴来看看？
可能你说的人都跟你一样 heart nyc吧。我在的行业反正不会在论坛上分享炒股心得和观点
旧金山吧?
美国的未来是旧金山吧?
气候好, 华人多, 是全世界的经济中心吧.
按人口比例，NJ 感染的人数比曼哈顿多多了， Westchester 也很高， 长岛也很高
关键这些郊区的医院都比纽约城里差远了。Westchester 第一例律师，重症以后当地的医院都没能力，后来转到纽约城里的医院康复的。他女儿上私立学校，还得到纽约城里上。
NJ的第一例，华人，诊所工作的内行，也是坚决要求转院到纽约城里的医院，没转成
医疗资源方面，城乡差别还不小
疫情过后，房价的城乡差别还要加大。以前大家没关注医疗资源的差距
不用搬的，生活还是岛上好，方便，节目也多。
可以别地买个度假屋，冬天和需要时去住住就好了
肯定是阳光地带，楼主还要免税州，就那几个地方
休斯顿可以再等等，这次疫情加石油双重打击，估计房价会降。。。。。
那帮早退的，很多在各处论坛上讲，或者吵架，因为兴趣所在
搬到你村，挤死你。
觉得wfh更要住岛上了， 小楼就可以吃， 而且年轻人闲不住， 晚上吃饭泡吧锻炼， 很多娱乐看球看戏逛博物馆都是扎堆的活动。
Are you kidding me?
我认识的都等了两年了，还没机会，只好继续留在加州
很多年轻人去加州是因为这几年IT 工作机会多，工资收入高。并不是因为他们喜欢加州的生活。同样的收入，他们选纽约。
纽约好的金融公司收入高的部门很难进。大把的藤校毕业生竞争
额，纽约加税是哪个消息？我缺课了？
吃喝玩乐又无法搬到郊区
不是我抬杠啊，wfh更要住岛上这个argument我觉得没太多人能同意
反正我在湾区那一年无聊死了，行业太单一，话题就是股票孩子房子，周末超市里都是顶着油头穿着公司文化衫挂着腰牌的码农，娱乐就是爬山，打羽毛球（我没过冬所以没赶上滑雪），中餐不仅很烂而且还要排队。于是赶快逃回纽约，不过我很幸运，从申请转组到回来一共用了不到俩月。
我在纽约住了那么多年，特高兴离开了那个希特后
华裔警察新冠去Lenox hill, 拒收，然后一个block后扑街
跑去了fl....
