City now spends a record $337,524 to incarcerate one person for a full year, or roughly $925 a day (houses, to live in)

So then you should be happy and no need to diss Seventh.
The main thing is such unhappiness coming from some posters.
People who have positive things in their lives are not living in fear and always angry.
Okay, let's dissect this genius logic: when you and Seventh say some completely incoherent but vaguely offensive thing, that is considered discussion - but when I point out the lack of logic in the incoherent but vaguely offensive thing you just said, that is considered anger and unhappiness? How so?
I'm certainly not living in any fear where I live, and my posts are incomparably less angry than yours. I have so many positive things in my life that they sometimes lead to a negative situation where I have a hard time choosing between them. If you are referring to my dead boyfriend, every minute of my memories of him is worth more than your entire future.
So this is a factor in why the city is reducing mass incarceration, why they decriminalized weed, and why full marijuana legalisation will happen.
Despite the Ny Post complaining of the 25,777 spent per pupil by the city on an annual basis, it's nothing compared to the $336, 524 spent to incarcerate someone for the year. The MTA wishes they could get this money too.

Proves my point. You scoured the internet looking for anything to support your claim but out of desperation for anything, you happened onto a article from 2017! LOL.
Its called research.... you should try it sometime. At least I actually do read, learn, and support my arguments... unlike some... You accuse another poster of not contributing, the same could be said about you as well.
2 years is still valid... its not that long ago. Things didn't magically change. Again.... all you can do is dismiss.

To be honest I don't even think that people who can't vote in NYC should even have an opinion on NYC politics.....who gives birth to these people??? I have some questions for them.

Your "research" is based on outdated and unproven information that you googled. The changes in NYC criminal law has been drastic. I already gave you examples (public urinating, assaulting cops, no more bail, etc.) as just a few of the things that have changed.

Wow. So now you think people shouldn't even have opinions? By the way, usayit isn't from NYC but yet you support his opinion. Hypocrite much?

I can vote via absentee ballot for both federal and NY state/city until November 2020. Then my say in NYC politics expires as I will only be able to vote for federal.

2 years is not outdated. Certainly a lot more supportive content than you have provided.
The reducing incarceration for things like public urinating is exactly what I'm suggesting... so you are agreeing with me. I'm saying that someone should do the leg work and extend it to other non-violent crimes. Perhaps, levy fines instead to help offset the costs of those that do belong in prison.
So I have no idea what your problem is?
For many years, I also worked in the NYC. So while I didn't live there (can't afford it), I did pay city taxes. I also have extended family that live in NYC. If I had the money, I would buy property in NYC as a second home (still on my wish list). Anytime I want a mini-vacation, I am usually in NYC...
Either way... people spending lengthy times in prison waiting for a court date for misdemeanor offenses is kinda of embarrassing to a country that praises due process.... it should be fixed. All it does is cost tax payer dollars and creates more criminals.
