are there any early thoughts on how the constitutional convention ref vote will go this fall? my union rep was very doom and gloom about workers rights surviving a rewrite.

nobody should have to beg in this city. seems like even the biggest homeless hating piece of poo poo has an interest in solving the problem as much as the folks that care about their fellow man. idgi. hoping it gets cold enough to get them off the street each winter isn't a workable homeless policy but its all de blasio seems to have.

ate poo poo on live tv posted:Homelessness isn't something that a city can solve by itself. It's a societal problem that stems from the fact that we don't want to provide permanent housing to those that cannot afford it. How would YOU "fix homelessness?" with houses and money taken from rich people at gunpoint

i'm sitting here watching that million dollar listing show where dudes are selling 10 million dollar apartments that take the whole floor of a building that used to house hundreds of people and i'm thinking like yes there's surely no resources to shelter the 3-4 thousand people in this city with no means. they got an entire block of the east village that they turned into only 85 units. good karma

Mechafunkzilla posted:It's just so wrong on its face. As if living in prewar buildings in upscale neighborhoods isn't also insanely expensive. moved into this after wife got done with grad and added a second income to family and yep. the crown moulding and all is cool but not really worth the combo of bleeding money and everything in your building breaking constantly because its 90 years old

grah posted:Currently the State Constitution bars the state from downgrading a worker's pension once that worker has been enrolled in the pension program. They can (and do) create worse pension tiers for newer employees. There are still a handful of Tier I folks working--their pension is half their pay in their highest paid year, and they do not have any payroll contribution to the pension fund. The bulk of people I'm aware of right now are Tier 4. They need 25 years of service and need to be 55 years old to retire. They have a flat contribution rate (I think 2%?) and their pension is based on the average of their 3 best consecutive years. They also cannot have more than a 10% increase in pay year over year for pension purposes. People like me are Tier VI. Most of Tier VI has to be 62 years old to retire and has to work 30 years. Some places like MTA and the Court Police are still 25/55. We pay a variable portion of our salary--up to 7% into the pension. This rate is determined by the previous year's salary, and stupidly is not a marginal rate. So you can actually do the thing that people who don't understand income taxes worry about, where you'll have less take home if you make very slightly more than a threshold value than if you make very slightly less. you can still retire at 55 with pension, you take a big penalty to do it tho. or at least i can as a tier v
