Bloomberg t New Yrkers that are foreclosed to stay in their homes. Hey Bloomburg I am a renter help me stay in my home by taxing that blood sucker of a landlord I have instead of snding him a rebate check! He wants to keep forclosed “homeowners” in so the value of other homes nearby don’t go down and therefor loose assesment tax value.For years he hoped his real estate buddies got rich and that higher rents would only keep his kind of people in the city. Well you know what I say tough Mayor you are stuck with the poor middle class suck it up let homes foreclose as they may I am looking to purchase a foreclosed home.
Count me in as one of those Brooklynites who moved to Journal Square. I love you Brooklyn but you’re just too rich for me!

No downside there.

my computer just froze.
“Each train knows where the other CBTC-equipped trains are, as well as the geometry of the track and the maximum safe speed, Connie Crawford, NYC Transit’s chief engineer said.
The trains also will not run a red light, she said, noting, “There can be no human error.”
And none of you have ever experienced a computer error, RIIIGGGHHHHTTTT.
“Transport Workers Union Local 100 in the past has raised safety concerns about RoboTrains, which have had some glitches like harsh breaking.”
And none of you have ever experienced “harsh braking (and stop and go starting)” from the human engineers. RRRRIIIIIIGGGGHHHHHTTTT
All in all it sounds like a good idea and seems to be working well!!!!!
