Live From The Community Board 1 Meeting: TLC Commissioner Yassky Speaks

I have to be perfectly honest: I’ve been on the fence about Yassky’s proposal to allow livery cabs to pick up passengers (as taxi cabs are currently allowed to do). Some of this arises from the fact that yours truly lives near one such service and the drivers of said vehicles often double park, do u-turns in the middle of the street and so forth. In other words: they are not very good neighbors. However, (and believe you me I am no fan of Mr. Yassky) I have to say he makes a very salient argument for his case. My only concern is how fares will be implemented (meters versus flat fare). In any case, you should give these videos a watch. Granted, the proceedings drag on longer than they should have been allowed, but it is interesting stuff nonetheless. Enjoy!

I attended Tuesday’s Community Board 1 Meeting. Sadly, my five node unix cluster— or at least the part which allows them to “talk to each” other— died. So I have had to rely on my laptop. Uploading is a chore, but reading is no problem. Case in point:
You can read my colleague’s take on this, his special moment, here. The following is mine:
After Steve Levin voiced his opposition to the homeless assessment center at 400 McGuinness and stated there would be a rally there next week (I will post the details when I get them) the remaining members of Community Board 1 voted against the homeless shelter at 400 McGuinness Boulevard. With two abstentions.

P.S.: A lot happened at this meeting I will share some highlights as they upload!
