i love how america's most populous city has less say over its own affairs than Scranton, PA, as proven yet again by Cuomo's bottomless well of spite by ruling that we can't have a 5-cent bag tax everReal hurthling! posted: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.

The NKD people talking about the convention basically said: 1) There's a policy group forming to study the possible outcomes and strategize about it. 2) Cautious optimism that a convention could finally allow for a lot of progressive and anti-corruption reforms being perpetually blocked by machine politicians on both sides to finally go through. That being said, I don't know enough right now to say how realistic that optimism is. OTOH if you told me IDC types and machine Dems will use labor fear to poison the well against a convention... I probably wouldn't find that too far fetched either.

Cross-posting from the NYC thread, but there's a lot in here about Pataki and local real estate interests etc New York's Vast Flop, Martin Filler offers architectural criticism on the redevelopment of Ground Zero.

I live in the armpit between Buffalo and Rochester, but outside of the politics (and racism), I really like the area. Rochester and Buffalo are both very nice cities to live in, assuming you can find a job. edit: gently caress Cuomo, Schumer, Gillibrand, et al whatis has issued a correction as of 19:25 on Feb 22, 2017 |

It's really nice to go up and visit and not hear cars honking and go on a hike in the woods and smoke some weed. I know there are some serious economically stressed areas up there that need a lot of help and I'm all for it, but as someone who grew up in the densely packed areas of along Island and living in Queens now, the change of scenery is nice. The universal truth is our politicians are pretty bad.

Any state that is a "safe blue/red state" is bound to have horrible politicians because they don't even need to bother with fielding good candidates since they will automatically beat the opposition every time
