No, but perhaps I should!

I emailed them and told them they'd entered the wrong email address in their system and never heard back since.
Hopefully they got their money at some point and didn't just give a car away in return for a bounced check!

Sure, social housing is great! But it's also important to remember that Vienna allows tons and tons of private development as well. Much more than is legal is most American cities.
The taxes from that private growth help fund the social housing.

When financial institutions invest in real estate they might shift a few people from being owners to being renters. This has some pros and cons. It is 100% for sure not worse than shortages which do in fact price people out of the market.

#3 is not a real option. If an individual insurance company tries to do that then they will lose all of their low risk customers to insurance companies that don't do this.

Calling a mom who couldn't use an elevator because a troubled person was camping inside of it a right wing troll is a shitty thing to do. We're about to spend a bunch of CP money building elevators.
What's the point if our lack of ability to deal with the homeless will make them unusable?

I don't think that person is a right wing troll. I think not being able to use an elevator while transporting a small child in a stroller is a big deal. A whole lot of the money from congestion pricing is going to be spent on elevators. People should be able to use them!

Anyone who thinks this is true is an idiot. I'm sure Bezos will spend a ton on his wedding, but that $600M number is quite obviously made up.

Oh, he's weird for sure. Just saying there's a lot of competition for that title.
DeBlasio just got dumped by his lesbian wife. Giuliani is out there claiming he can't afford to feed himself. Ed Koch and his "How'm I doing?"

Sounds like someone's Subaru check bounced. You'd think they'd check that kind of thing before giving someone a new car.

Could work. But in my gut I've become skeptical of NYC's ability to fix things that way. In the same way I think many parking problems need to get fixed with concrete, not parking agents.
