Tales of subway love from New York Magazine

Dear Mr. Bloomberg,

Please fix the N/W train.

It took me an hour and a half to get to work today.

Thank you.

So what do you think is a better campaign slogan

“Vote for Bloomberg and your city will smell like maple syrup from now on”

or

“Vote for Bloomberg or your city will smell like maple syrup from now on.”

I just signed the Wi-Fi 4 NY petition, and I hope you will too.

It’s outrageous that kids in South Korea have better and faster access to the Internet than kids in the South Bronx, and even kids in SoHo.

It’s ridiculous that Verizon, Cablevision and Time-Warner charge working families $600 a year for a connection that is ten times slower than what you can get in Tokyo.

It’s terrible that our schools are ranked #41 in the country in the use of computers in education.

I don’t want to fall behind Philadelphia and Boston as they bring wireless Internet service to all their residents.

It’s time to bring New York City into the 21st Century and connect every New Yorker to the Internet.

Thanks to advances in wireless technology — “Wi-Fi,” for short — we could get every New Yorker connected for less than $10 per person, the price of a movie ticket!

Wi-Fi should be like water. Or like having a dial-tone on your phone. Free in all public places — and affordable for every business and home. It’s that important to our future.

Mayor Bloomberg and the rest of the city’s leadership hear every day from the big telecom companies and their lobbyists.
Now it’s time they hear from us.

Please sign the “Wi-Fi 4 NY” petition:

And help spread the word by forwarding this message to your
family, friends and co-workers.

So I’m looking for a new place to live.

Anyone know of any decent 1-bedrooms in Manhattan or Brooklyn Heights?

Or if you’d like to offer some advice on how to go about finding a place, please comment.
