NYC living is exhausting. 
NYC would lose 300,000 parking spots and $3B under this lefty City Council plan
nypost.com
NYC drivers would lose roughly 300,000 parking spots and taxpayers would be in the hole for $3 billion under a bill being fast-tracked by far-left City Council members.Wake up New York let me tell you why this happened (mamdami), INDOCTRINATED COLLEGE TRANSPLANTS! These jerkoffs are the only ones that go out and vote! You lazy self absorbed New Yorkers just sit home and do not vote! By claiming "I do not like anybody so screw it" is a massive problem across the country! This is how things like this happens! Look at the numbers, less then 10% of New Yorkers vote in a city of nearly 9 million! Reep what you sow! GENTRIFICATION IS THE DOWNFALL OF NYC! And crooked politicians love it and cator to them for votes.
If they put 4 way stop signs it would solve the problem. Parking too close to corners blocks visibility and that is dangerous.
The cars aren’t the problem The pedestrians are THEY DONT LOOK They are very busy in their cell phones. I drive and see it every day all over. People just walk wo looking up wo looking at the lights etc Stop crucifying drivers. Start educating pedestrians!
Julie Won needs to be removed.
Maybe there should be a law about idiots texting or looking at their phones while crossing? Walking? Also, there already IS A LAW that trucks or vans can not park on corners. These laws are not enforced, neither are commercial vehicles parked on streets at all hours. ENFORCE THE LAWS THAT ALREADY EXIST.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Alert for Middle Village
And everyone who got their bill yesterday was flabbergasted!!!
All more reason for No on City of Yes
But let’s all get electric cars & stoves 
So they reduced voltage..
But I'm sure as he'll they aren't going to reduce you bill accordingly now are they???.
Quick question, all you people that have seen your bills double and triple ...did you get those new meters like two years back?
385 for one month … ridiculous considering not one day has the AC been able to reach his max capacity unless you’re standing right in front of it you don’t feel anything
Mine is autrageus, did you see the 2nd page how many taxes are we paying? Just look at it we pay double taxes.
Had a feeling. Have the ac on and it’s cooler outside.
Thank you for update
Here we go again.
They didn't say Maspeth in that press release. We have our voltage reduced too.
Con Ed can’t keep up with the electric grid but they want everyone to get rid of gas stoves and cars.
And thier raiseing the rates in 2026 January too either 13 or 16 % do you know anyone thats gets a pay raise of 13 oer 16 % a year exactly just pushing people further & further behind the 8 ball.

They need to tell people not to charge their electric cars
And this service and they want to raise our rates even more. 
Reduce the voltage but want to increase the bills. While I’m sweating my balls off. I wonder would they stick a voltage reader up their arse.
The only reason Con Edison gets away with this is because of the “donkeys” in Albany that we continue to elect.
Yet my bill doubled this month and I’ve used the same electricity as last month! They’re out of control and this needs to be stopped!
Got one question are they going to reduced the rates are we still going to get charged the regular rates or maybe more I know they just been careful to make sure we don’t get a blackout but this is not new 
City sucks. Con Ed sucks even more. They should be locked up
New York is a joke we are worst than a third world country with power train stains roads and more.
They continue to raise rates and service is awful.
612.00 for one month! But haven’t really turned it off either.
Our hearts are heavy over the tragic loss of life in last night’s mass killing.
God bless Officer Islam and all the victims, and we thank him for his service to our city.
It's a shame when the state's cannabis licensing committee needs to hear directly from a school to enforce the law.

How come this does not consider I.S. 73 which is even closer than the school of heroes????
