"Free" parking is direct subsidy to the minority of New Yorkers who own cars, to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars per year. It's time we get our money : newyorkcity

I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)
Sitewide rules apply
other rules
Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

Having delivered there many times in my tractor-trailer I have insight. New York City is a shit hole that will never improve because the people there fricking suck and so do the politicians. I saw a guy driving a moped driving the wrong way down an expressway. The entire city smells like trash and piss. Homeless guys stand on the George Washington bridge hovering over the Hudson river asking for money as traffic drives by on already tight lanes. The cops there generally do not give a frick because the politicians have made it so that people just do whatever the frick they want, as long as you don't have a gun cops don't give a frick what you do. I saw dude taking a piss on the sidewalk, not even bothering to cover his peepee. I don't think there is one white personal in certain parts of brooklyn or queens and it shows. Frick nyc, its a shittier version of Boston

NYC already has an insane budget. I'm going to keep posting this because it blew my mind so hard looking up these numbers:
Houston 2.3mil pop
$6B budget
NYC 8.5mil
$106Billion!!!!!!! 
and these mfs think they need MORE city revenue!!!!
I can't wrap my head around it.
surely if we just give poors a few more $$$ they'll start being useful to society
"It's time we get our money"
the entitlement. everything is their money lmao. if they had their way they'd take every cent you have. and the city would not improve

It's because NYC is insanely rich and productive, unlike Texas, which is just Saudi Arabia with different fetishwear.
I don't think I can name a single thing about Houston.
Astros? Is that their football? OK, I was wrong. Houston has one marginally-notable thing.

I dont like cities in general and houston is gross and full of homeless too.
but who cares how productive they are?
sure maybe new yorkers only pay more because they make more
but NYC is spending almost 5x per person
is the city better off for it?
I've only been to houston a few times
but I don't recall them having all their trash in the street. or the scaffolding everywhere because no one maintains building facades.
and at least they don't subsidize and encourage homelessness and drugs quite as hard yet

This is just another form of gibs. I'm not even a bikecel, I just hate subsidizing poors who expect some right to live like they're rich, on my dime.
Parking on public owned property in high demand areas with limited supply is a luxury resource and it should go to the highest bidder, with the revenue generated going toward getting the poors moved around efficiently and inoffensively or otherwise at least give me a tax break.
Same with congestion pricing.

How much do you think it'd cost to install parking meters in NYC?
From the raw cost of the meters, to paying Union workers to install them, to maintenance and upkeep, to the infrastructure needed to power them, to the constant theft and vandalism, to enforcement?
You can't rely on an easy-to-install corner kiosk because that expects someone to have a cell phone and credit card -- which is racist.
These same redditors would be bitching if they got a parking ticket because CAPITALISM says I have to pay $50 because I parked my Corolla here five minutes too long! It has to be SOMEWHERE, I can't just bring it inside with me!

There's already parking meters everywhere in nyc. They're little kiosks you get a ticket for your window

In current year it would make more sense to sell monthly/yearly parking permits at the DMV. They wouldn't be able to charge double for the prime locations but it'd be way cheaper and easy to enforce.
