One interesting thing to ponder is how the MTA eliminated all these one-person station agent booths a decade ago and now they're being replaced by three-person cop teams.

In case you forgot, Frank James shot up an N train, walked around the city for 28 hours, took the subway at least twice, had lunch at Katz's and then tried to turn himself in but the cops took so long to show up that he just kept walking around again until spotted on the street.

If your reaction to a homeless person sitting in a subway car with their belongings on a day when it's 33 degrees out and sleeting is to take a picture of them and post it to Twitter, that speaks a lot about your empathy or lack of it. I don't know how that helps.

So basically the mayoral frontrunner either lives in New Jersey and/or is fully renting out his Brooklyn home so that's why he sleeps in his office. This is just an extremely strange story that raises a lot of eyebrows.

Burning the midnight oil: Eric Adams’ mysterious whereabouts off the campaign trail

The mayoral hopeful has been staying overnight and keeping late-night and early-morning hours in the government building where he and his staff work, according to POLITICO’s recent observations.

I still can’t believe some of the meltdowns *among Urbanist Twitter* over The Times’ massive shifting of the Overton Window on cars in Manhattan. Look at the front of the Sunday Review! This was impossible a few years ago and is a great launching point for a longer discussion.

Horrendous priorities giving more to private airlines than to all US transit agencies. The MTA alone serves considerably more passengers per day than every single US airport combined. This has been true before and held during the pandemic too.
