Giant bubble covering city, maintaining climate-controlled atmosphere. NO SWEATINESS EVER AGAIN and suede platforms year 'round. Heaven.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 15 December 2006 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

for some reason i associated the "suede platforms" comment with the transit conversation. i was having a hard time fathoming how disgusting a suede subway platform would be.

Affordable apartments in Manhattan.

No cabaret licenses.

Smoking in bars and clubs.

Woops - I'm describing the city of 1970!

perhaps you would consider making one burrough for smokers? unless it's staten island.

Eli, just suggest they build a time machine, allowing everyone to live in different dimensions of time and space. Then everyone wins.

cabaret licenses have been going since 1926. maybe you meant enforcement of the law?

CONEY ISLAND NOT TURNED INTO VEGAS EAST PLZ!

― jhoshea (jhoshea), Friday, 15 December 2006 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

Or a bus service outside Manhattan that's actually useful?

NY needs a congestion charge BIG TIME. Sometimes taking a cab is a major part of your night.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Friday, 15 December 2006 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

All I want is more affordable housing and fewer big-box retail stores. Otherwise I think NYC is just fine the way it is.

* Before 2027: America's population is rapidly approaching a thousand million, and an urban conurbation now stretches from New York to Washington in an attempt to contain the populace of the East Coast states. This will eventually become the first Mega-City, a new kind of urban development to house greater numbers of people. The development causes huge amounts of civil unrest and gang-related crimes.

* 2027: An alliance of street gangs, led by the P Street Posse, storm the White House itself. Due to intimidation of the jury, no convictions occur. This incident will lead to the creation of the Judge System to police the country.

* 2031: First deployment of the Judges in the future Mega-City, led by Chief Judge Fargo. [1] Special centres train the new recruits, often hand-picked from the regular police, and have more senior status than the regular police, with the power to convict and sentence criminals on the spot.

I would like to see the ruins of New York City, all twisted metal and dead bodies, spontaneously generating into three or four squid-like creatures who grow by engulfing smaller, relatively defenseless cities like Hartford and Newark.

buy air rights above historic "low slung" brownstones and build high-rise apartments on top of them

― j.m. goatse (get bent), Friday, 15 December 2006 23:02 (nineteen years ago)

ha. I posted a few hours ago by it timed out. I wrote "let the G train run it's full course into queens."

They have to realize as the areas around the G continue to gentrify, it needs to no longer be such a second-rate train.

― dan selzer (dan selzer), Saturday, 16 December 2006 00:33 (nineteen years ago)

uh, not to say un-gentrified areas don't deserve quality mass transit!
