The ones by me fill up in a month. Every time I think no way another building is needed and a few weeks later people are already moving in.
Maybe manhattan high end luxury market is empty ( and even then developers aren’t really taking a lost if the building is 90% occupied) but everywhere else is doing pretty well.
Commercial properties, owners seem to not care that they sit empty. They aren’t building for fun either way, they anticipate an investment over the next few years as the population is expected to increase
But I agree they should keep rikers, closing it does nothing but reallocate prisoners elsewhere where the same issues can occur
You know damn well where these new detention centers will be situated at... LOL.
I was at Penn Station Amtrak station the other day waiting for the boarding gate to be announced. This is in a huge general area where many people are standing around waiting for info about their trains.
I glimpsed what looked to be a man hassling a couple about money about 6 feet away from me. I made up my mind that if that guy started approaching me, I would just turn my body and eyes away from him so he wouldn't start in with me. So he starts coming over and I swivel away, and cast my eyes in another direction, in order to completely ignore.
Well, that didn't work, he started yelling at me for not looking at him, and in addition, he started hitting my hand!! Not just tapping lightly, but really with some force. I looked at him at that point and yelled "STOP IT" really loudly and he started yelling more about how I'm not paying attention to him, etc. I was surprised because nothing like this has ever happened to me and I've been in NYC a long time.
He did walk away, but I suppose in an enclosed train the end result might have been different. He seemed really angry and aggressive.
Woah. That's scary. I'm glad nothing more came out of it. It's hard to know how to react. If you engage, it just encourages them. If you ignore, that provokes them even more. I do a little bit of both. Don't engage but don't completely ignore either. I also silently pray. So far, I've been alright.
The mind control technique's of the mass media is at its strongest point I have ever seen.
Kind of makes you wonder if it has any relationship with all the vaccines they keep injecting people with, and why the FCC was so desperate to get everyone switched over from analog television to a digital signal.
Reminds me of Cronenbergs Videodrome.
It also feels like millennials are the most susceptible to having their thinking behavior modified by external elements, since they carry the highest number of vaccinations.
Next day this huge woman in a wheelchair was working the 72nd and Broadway platform (I've seen her on the 8th Avenue line as well either at 42nd or 34th streets), she wasn't getting anywhere either.
Got a voice like a bandsaw and calls out "Can you spare any change please"? She's a Penn Station fixture.
Pretty bold working the Amtrak waiting area aggressively; that area's full of cops and sometimes they're bored enough to actually do something.

OMG. I know her. I've seen her. She's still around? She is one mean, nasty person.
