I will live as close as I can afford thank you. And as for paying land value tax, I will pay mine when cities pay theirs. Cities and states give abatements that are not needed but allow wealthy land owners to dodge taxes. Increase fuel taxe

I have many of my old notebooks that I wrote in as a child. The amount of paper and ink I used was a lot. Multiply that times all the children and you see how much paper is used vs. typing on a computer. Sometimes the technology route is be

If anyone doesn't think cities are loud, they came come to my neighborhood at anytime. Between the bars, the "lounges" and just loud people in general. In certain parts of NYC people just blast music from large speakers to sm

Why did Chevrolet drop the Spark and Sonic? Why did Toyota drop the Yaris? Why is the Honda Civic so big? Cars have gotten bigger due to a lot of factors and this article addresses none of them.

I'm from New York City and the computers in the schools were TRS-80s. The idea that Apple was everything is not accurate. Remember you had PETs, S100, SS50 and other computers out there. Personally I think the real transition to person

Most new parents want what is best for their child and so there is much research into it. I don't see what the problem is. Are they mad that science told us that smoking was bad for children? Also a lot of the rant, and yes I call it a

Welcome to streetsblog. They have a clear anti-car agenda, they seem to be pro public transportation but even that's questionable https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2021/05/07/opinion-roll-back-cuo...

I was a CNE back in the 3.11 days and Microsoft was giving me training and cert vouchers. Novel made me pay a ton to keep my certs. I eventually went Windows.

I don't know what you do for a living but we do not have "on call" during work hours. Our team knows their expectations and it will be nice to meet new people as some are replaced. Just to let you know. I am not a manager, I

I get what you are doing, but that's ok. I hope to be working with new people soon.

We have people working remotely and they are supposed to be available and online and I find that many are not available. We have even had emergencies where we reached out to people only to not get a response. There are people actually worki

I lived in New York City my entire life and I am now wanting a house. I am tired of living in an apartment building. This idea that people live together communally within buildings or neighborhoods is very overrated. I have lived in multipl
