The private sector has gained back all the jobs it lost in the covid recession, and more. State and local governments have gained back just 76%. 7/

It just ain’t true that people won’t choose public transit over cars. It’s true that people won’t choose bad public transit over cars.

Ke Huy Quan was born in Vietnam, fled to Hong Kong, and then came to the United States as an eight-year-old refugee. The White House last month released a new rule that would ban refugees that stopped in another country before arriving at the US border.

This is an oversimplification of the issue. Sure, all other factors being equal, most people prefer a private ride. But all other factors won't be equal. Private rides are significantly more costly than shared rides & mass transit.

Property tax levy growth for school districts and the state’s biggest cities will be capped at 2%, the same as last year, even as my office calculated the rate of inflation at 8%. osc.state.ny.us/press/releases…

State and local governments added just 2,000 in December and have added back just 70% of what they lost in the recession. They are still down 452,000 jobs since Feb ’20, with over half of that, 239,000, in education. THIS IS A CRISIS, BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE. 4/

Vehicle maintenance should almost always be completed with at least 2 people, with few exceptions. Vehicle maintenance, especially on large trucks and equipment, can be dangerous so a second set of hands and eyes is vital to have available.

The way the real world works is that if you build enough housing and affordable/supportive housing, more people will be housed. This is how Atlanta was able to reduce homelessness by 40%, Houston by 63%, Finland by 75%, and Tokyo by 80%.
