What about the nice parts of Manhattan

funnylike

For centuries the port of New York has enjoyed nearly unprecedented prosperity, taken by the Dutch for its strategic location near an ocean, protected by land mass, and direct access to the mighty Hudson, it was taken by the British and the Americans for the same reason. Water has been the lifeblood of the town for longer than its been called New York.

Sandy showed us how detrimental water can be, especially in the Bay post-dredging.

I could be wrong but I think most of mid to upper manhattan has a sea level of 15 ft+ so I suspect we’ll lose most of the island south of 34th-ish, maybe FiDi or something like it sticks around ala a little island.

No doubt the island and the boroughs will change shape over the next hundred years, but it’s done it before and it’ll do it again.

I’ll bring the oars, you bring the beers

That’s why you don’t buy property there. Just enjoy the city, milk it for what it is, and leave once you are done.

One of your roommates (and a close friend that you’ve known for years) has a flight to catch. He has a suitcase, a duffle bag (no wheels), and a backpack. In order for him to get to the airport would you:

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit

Does anyone else have parents who think their way is the only right way and think any disagreement is disrespect?

Currently a Marketing & Comms Manager at a company I’ve been with for 6 months. I’ve completely transformed their processes and the work is showing on social and internally. People are noticing. Now my former employer where I worked for 10 years casually asked me to do contract work for them. I make $130k at my current salaried job. With my experience into consideration, what’s a good rate to charge if officially offered the freelance work as well?
