Good Thursday morning in New York City, where maybe we could let churches build housing.
Here's what else is happening:
- Andrew Cuomo's Dodge Charger was caught speeding through school zones twice in the last month. (The tickets were promptly paid!)
- NYC Ferry ridership nearly hit a new record last week.
- Las Vegas Sands is scrapping its bid for a casino on Long Island.
- There are many reasons why only sixty-seven (67) restaurants across the five boroughs have been approved for full outdoor dining service.
- District Council 37, the city' largest municipal employees' union, has endorsed City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams for mayor.
- Two "retired and unfiltered" NYPD officers didn't endorse democratic socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani but they did have him on their podcast.
- This is the most vehement anti-pigeon take you'll ever read.
- YouTube is 20.
- Should you have Elon Musk's baby?
