Thousands more NYC street vendors will be able to operate legally under new Council bill
The mayor hasn’t said whether he supports the measure, but the City Council says the bill would automatically become law after 30 days if he doesn’t act.

This is one of the things that's often missing from online discussions of anti-capitalist theory. The question that actually determines our socioeconomic status and fate is this:
Do you live off what you're paid for your own labor, or off the profits you draw from the labor of others?

I can’t believe you idiots are still arguing with me about this. Idc what your job is paying you now, you still have to labor for your money. You’re working class.
All it takes is an unfortunate accident or illness for you to be in the poor house. Medical debt and fallout would cripple you. Stfu.

All of you are poor. These hypothetical poor people everyone is discussing are us. We’re poor. Idc if you make 6 figures or not. You’re poor too.

Congrats to NYC on starting down the road to a unified streets map. Took only 125+ yrs after consolidation 😉
Scanning each borough’s paper maps will be (mostly) easy, actually digitizing all the metadata would be really really hard. Here’s a close-up of what one of these paper maps looks like.

Thank you, @cmrestler.bsky.social. Restaurants should have the option of keeping outdoor dining all year and New Yorkers should have the option of taking advantage of it. Folks, call your City Council rep and ask them to support this bill. Let's set the stage for the Mamdani administration.
We introduced a bill to restore year-round open dining and make it easier for restaraunts.
Outdoor dining was a silver lining of the pandemic, and New Yorkers want it back. We can simplify the process for restaurants to secure permits and give us more places to dine together.
