Not that I know of but that could be because our deductible is $1,000,000.

Oh, that should be 5500sf, but the ROI still likely applies.

For a private installations, the reduction in safety liability and lack of a need to rip up the sidewalk helps.
One from the 1970s I support has needed very little in repair over the years.

We tried to make the business and safety case for it at that price and were overruled. We have heated sidewalk in other places and like it a lot.

I got a quote for a private one last fall in WNY (so significantly less than a NYC public contract will ever be) - $271,000 (might have been $371,000 I can’t remember) for 2500sf of heated sidewalk.
We put EV charging in instead.

Because states administer elections and this would lead to violence if the Feds don’t back down.

Yah, good ideas get stifled by the “machine” and “wait your turn” politics in one-party cities.

To beat the dead horse I’ve been replying to you, that’s why the Western NY switch is such a harbinger - the Midwest (or at the very least, the Industrial Great Lakes) starts in Rochester NY.

Here’s among the places it happened first: Upstate NY traditional Republican strongholds like Ken-Ton, Greece, Onondaga County Legislature (Syracuse) fall last November was incredible.
(Unfortunately Long Island is offsetting these gains by going redder)
This Politico article sums it well:

Forget Mamdani. New York’s real political shift happened everywhere else.
Democrats flipped over 50 county legislative seats across the state. Republicans flipped one.

At a certain point they should just say our Maximum price is $ X. Didn’t Boston do this to moderate success?
When I worked for City Government in NYS we could have done it but chose not and just didn’t award the work.
The fear is that $ X is what everyone then bids, but if that is lower, so what?

Happened in my area and it’s going to upend NY politics without making a lick of difference nationally (just a regional resorting of the state’s voters).

Post WW II they could run shows making fun of the nonsense that is the military. Phil Shriners/SGT Bilko was the best example. His whole thing was trying to get away with schemes.
MASH had a little of it too.
They tried for the GWOT generation with “Enlisted” but it didn’t get ratings.

The US’s educational strength is the very fact that you don’t take a test at 11-17 that pretty much defines your career path.

Unless you have some super secret thing you shouldn’t be talking about. You need to assume that feds have already infiltrated your group.
Similarly, telling people not to publicize their struggle a protests is also something people supporting ICE would do.

Suburban Upstate is wild at the moment with its rapid shift left. WNY saw the same thing.
Nationally no one will notice because Upstate is offsetting Long Island’s shift right, but it should make some real difference in some legislative priorities at the state level.
