Why don’t we know if NYCFC’s Queens soccer stadium is costing taxpayers $700m or nothing or somewhere in between? Nobody in power bothered to find out before approving it. (by me, for @HellGateNY) https://t.co/OpaSOeqGmZ

"'From time to time, leaders are called upon to envision a better future, be bold in the implementation and execution and be undaunted by the opposition,' Gov. Kathy Hochul said at a rally to support congestion pricing in December. Apparently, Hochul is not one of those leaders."

Christopher Robbins @ChristRobbins

Just ~1.5% of all commuters into NYC's central business district were going to pay the congestion pricing toll. By killing congestion pricing, this is who @GovKathyHochul is favoring https://t.co/xSNJcJVClW

I still can't definitively say what The Trypes were, but I can say what they almost were, which might be just as good. #uncertainfate https://t.co/9ZJbIWP5zH

The standard use of “police said” articles — where the main or only source of information came from law enforcement — keeps leading the media to publish information that is outright wrong. https://t.co/eRkCQ2Etzz

NYC real estate interests are pushing for a "vacancy reset" law to let them hike rents in regulated apartments. The other times this was tried, it ended very, very badly. https://t.co/XQkwh0ylwV

Can New York's new law requiring registration of short-term rentals actually bring down the city's sky-high rents? The short answer: Probably, yes. The long answer: There will be math. https://t.co/OdXrPBoICV

This will surprise absolutely no one who follows corporate subsidies, nor will the fact that Kathy Hochul is insisting that no really they're good anyway because reasons. https://t.co/0oxOEfcNC7

I truly hope LVSportsBiz's new policy will lead to stories like "A's Claim New Stadium Will Create Some Damn Number of Jobs, So Far As We Know They Pulled It Out of Their Ass," which honestly would be some of the most accurate reporting out there. https://t.co/naNjTskU7k

Another day, another instance of ProPublica requiring its unionized staff to produce content for a scab paper. https://t.co/4dHZKRl5tZ

This week in #uncertainfate: How Jeffrey Lewis found me, and how I found him back. https://t.co/jWinWxKjLF

State Sen. Jessica Ramos wants to spark a "community conversation" on Mets owner Steve Cohen's casino project, but also says keeping asphalt parking lots is not an option. In a faceoff where each side can only scuttle the other's plans, who'll blink first? https://t.co/F7cGqBpVcH

Deeply concerned that @ProPublica management is forcing my union co-workers to produce content for a scab paper. https://t.co/49FbMSNMgI

How I Escaped My Uncertain Fate #whatever: I'm probably just not the target audience for Nina Simone, but there's one moment that let me get a sense of why she's a legend. https://t.co/qnxiIJEXkC

Sometimes this format means I have to write about bands whose music I own but don’t actually listen to. Sorry about that, Times New Viking, but let’s see how it goes. https://t.co/0pQMNkYgGk
