Interesting post! Small correction: NYC subway ridership is currently at around 69% of its pre-pandemic level, which is much greater than the “75% below” pre-pandemic mentioned in the article. It’s about 30% below pre-pandemic, according the CITY source you referenced (https://projects.thecity.nyc/hows-new-york-city-doing/index.html).
Yikes, that should have read "of," not "below"--thank you for catching that! Ridership seems to have dropped 6% ppts between when I started drafting and when I published.
The NYC housing courts are reaching death spiral levels. It takes years and thousands of dollars in atty fees to evict anyone. In Brooklyn, it's a 6 month wait just to get your *first* court hearing, which is just the beginning of the attrition war. Even administrative functions, like issuing the warrant after trial, are taking 5-6 months in Queens.
