Even if the MTA wants to stay irrationally allergic to all door boarding, I don’t understand why that means they need to keep the back card reader turned off. What’s the downside of allowing taps there, everything else staying constant?

New York City Is Drowning in Dog Poop
The disgusting calling cards of jerk dog owners are everywhere—on our sidewalks, in our darkest thoughts, and yes, smeared across our shoes.

Great piece from @dsquareddigest.bsky.social, which touches on one of the big theories for why English-speaking countries do especially badly at housebuilding:
Adversarial and litigious common law systems (Anglo) vs judge-led civil law systems elsewhere.

"Splurging" on notorious loss-leaders
Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.

A new crop of gourmet grocers has hit the city, drawing lines of trendy TikTokers, MAHA-curious health fiends and Instacart devotees who want to pop in for a treat.

The actual takeaway: Most Americans can't think past the surface on a hypothetical question.
Do they favor it if the person on the other side of the table says their ID is fake, like ICE/CBP is doing?
Pew Research Center poll: 83% of U.S. adults say they support "requiring all voters to show government-issued photo identification to vote."
That includes 71% of Democrats.
Among those who favor this idea:
—76% of black Americans
—82% of Hispanics

Streetsblog has the Lyft/Citibike contract, and it empowers the City to fine Lyft for specific failures like those we've endured this winter.
Question is why they haven't.

If the city enacted consequences for Lyft neglecting its Citi Bike infrastructure, maybe we'd have a functioning bikeshare system the next time it snows.
Opinion: The City, Not Just Lyft, Deserves Blame for Citi Bike’s Winter Mess - Streetsblog New York City
The Mamdani administration should fine Lyft for falling short of its contractual obligations — and reward it for meeting or surpassing them.

Mayor Adams using Sammy's Law to lower bike speed limits in Central Park is very scummy.
But I also feel like 15 mph is fine for a speed limit (for everything on wheels!) in a park.

Because of a temporary brand new commute for jury duty, I’m taking the bus daily. Starting to wonder if the high fare evasion numbers are partly due to the OMNY readers on buses refusing to take cards that other readers do completely fine with. Getting declines nearly every day.

Wow. While neighbors marched for safety, CM Joann Ariola chose to drive on Freedom Dr through the rally. Her message to families in the area and kids who attend school 2 blocks away? Their safety matters less than a 0.3 mile shortcut for a few. 🎥: Safer Streets Richmond Hilll
