@richmintz @MattZeitlin This is a World Cup tourism prop to exemplify the diversity of the city and its ability to mirror the world. The communities that were omitted have every right to take (ridiculous) measures to ensure their inclusion.

[lownormal @lownormal]

@richmintz @MattZeitlin I think you're being glib. "Immigrant enclaves" fuses two independent things: the current immigration flow and persistent ethnic distinctness. There are immigrant communities that don't assimilate.

Immigrant Enclave a colloquialism, it's not something used by the Census Bureau.

[lownormal @lownormal]

@amyjoon_ How? It's a World Cup tourism prop from the Mayor's Office, not a census borough document.

Objectively qualifying enclaves were ignored, so the map isn't neutral. It's curates which immigrant communities the city chooses to foreground, and the pattern of who's in and who's out.

@QuentinCad31672 how about the body language in this one. general petraeus on the right btw:

@godkalii Basically, after/during covid, kids stopped going to class and they're closing schools. They've closed 2 schools and about 20-50 are planned to be phased-out in the coming years.

[lownormal @lownormal]

@godkalii If enrollment is plummeting to the point that they are closing schools, why does the DOE need nearly a billion dollars ON TOP of the 38 billion dollar budget that was original proposed?

He’s saying the developer chose non-union labor b/c that’s cheaper but comes w safety risks…like a potentially unsafe building.

This is more than just about this one midtown building.

Just like week, Carpenters Union was out protesting this very issue.

Any political philosophy that ignores the inevitability of psychopathy in their leadership ranks is incomplete.
