Cutting Student MetroCards: Vote Delayed
Ugh. Just get it over with already so we can go on with our lives realizing that this is not the end of the world. This is a followup to SUBWAYblogger’s recent post on this subject that became quite the source of debate. The vote to cut the program has been delayed. However, there are [...]

You know life around your apartment is going to suck when they start placing building movement monitors on the outside of your apartment. All along the construction route of the new “T” line, they have installed monitors (pictured above via Gothamist) to make sure that the digging doesn’t shift the ground beneath buildings.
Is there any part of that where you would feel good living around there? It gets better.
They are planning 2 work shifts from 7am to 10pm. 7am? Shoot me. 10pm? WTF.
Those poor bastards living near that line are going to have to listen to construction from the early morning well into the evening. 7am sucks but isn’t that unreasonable. However, 10pm? WOW.
Many people are already planning to move. They don’t want to be anywhere near that mess. However, there’s a part of me that wonders if it might be smart to snag an apartment over there at the peak of construction when no one wants to live there. Hang on to it for a few years, and then sell it after the construction is done.
I would think that once the new “T” line is up and running, the property value along that line will go up because it will be so much more convenient to live over there. But what do I know.

The worst parts of the construction will be around the 96th St. area where they plan on sinking the boring equipment. Otherwise, for the tunnels, they’ll be doing most of the work underground. No more cut-and-cover like they did in the early days of the IRT. The station entrances and the sidewalk widening projects – now those will mess with street-level construction. By that 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. construction will be mostly underground. Mostly.
ReplyI’m frequently excited to check out that blog in the evenings.Please keep on churning out the content. It’s pretty entertaining.
ReplyIntimately, the article is in reality the most useful on that precious topic. I agree with your conclusions and also will thirstily look forward to your coming updates. Simply just saying thanks definitely will not simply just be enough, for the phenomenal lucidity in your writing. I will at once grab your rss feed to stay informed of any updates.

ReplyThings i have seen in terms of computer memory is that often there are specific features such as SDRAM, DDR and so forth, that must fit the specific features of the motherboard. If the personal computer’s motherboard is very current and there are no operating system issues, modernizing the ram literally will take under 1 hour. It’s one of the easiest laptop upgrade processes one can think about. Thanks for expressing your ideas.
