I'm glad she directly called him a liar a couple times. Might've been to Nixon's advantage to interrupt a little bit less, don't want to seem like "a pushy woman."
Cuomo being obsessed with proving that Nixon was "a corporation" bigger than the Koch Brothers was a weird tactic.

In fact, the MTA has not been declining for decades. For much of the first 10 years of the 2000s it was improving and rapidly. There's something that happened in New York in 2010 that started the decline. If only I could put my finger on it.— Second Ave. Sagas (@2AvSagas) August 29, 2018

The story isn't Cuomo, it's that Nixon turned out enough to crush the "blue dog" faction in the State Senate that gave Republicans control. There are a lot of bills coming Cuomo won't like.

― |Restore| |Restart| |Quit| (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 14:20 (five years ago) link
I think people's take on the term limit question depends on the character of the neighborhood that they care about. A historically Black neighborhood that's now targeted by developers and speculators is ill served by pushing elders off the board when they know the history and work to protect their community's heritage--but a historically white neighborhood that's now refreshed by immigration but refuses to transition the power structures to represent a now-Chinese or now Arabic-majority community is unrepresentative and inequitable.
I'm getting the sense that Queens is scenario #2 and so is South Brooklyn, but Central Brooklyn (Bed-Stuy, Brownsville, ENY, Crown Heights) is the former. In short, IDK but I'm prob going yes-yes-yes.
― There's more Italy than necessary. (in orbit), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 14:34 (five years ago) link
that's an interesting analysis - i definitely think of CBs mostly in terms of old white assholes in manhattan and brooklyn, fighting against bike lanes and bus improvements and having a mixed record at best on fighting gentrification. there may be other scenarios. but i wonder how critical "elders" really are - there are surely young members of endangered communities who'd be interested in serving, and are we really imagining that they'd all be quickly captured by smooth talk from developers (and that no elders have been similarly captured)?
― |Restore| |Restart| |Quit| (Doctor Casino), Tuesday, 6 November 2018 14:45 (five years ago) link
Yeah I also question that which is why I'm willing to vote Yes on 3 even though my loyalties are with Bed Stuy.
I don't think there's a single white person on CB3, whose meetings I went to for years, and iirc there was no shortage of women leaders either. So the district I'm most familiar with doesn't fit the assumptions. But I've noted for years that while they can hound some cocky white aspiring cocktail bar entrepreneur and make them regret botching their liquor license request, they can't stop gentrification, and new bars still keep opening and filling up with people that are disrespectful to the neighborhood. So I don't know that the "we need elders" argument is that effective.
are we really imagining that they'd all be quickly captured by smooth talk from developers (and that no elders have been similarly captured)?
No I think the "bad" scenario here is pro development puppets and bougie white ppl who can afford to pay 2.5 mil for a brownstone just taking over the community boards and erasing the work of 70 years of community-building.
