Your street's still busted and City Hall knows it

So look—we all know the streets out here are more potholes than pavement, right? Like, you gotta dodge 'em like you're on a Grand Theft Auto mission just to get to the bodega. Well, guess what's topping the 311 request list? Street condition and potholes, deadass, with 4,406 calls. That's way up there.

Here's the thing: while we're all out here stressing about blown tires and spilled cawfee, you got these lobbyist firms signing up to rep big companies. Like, Constantinople & Vallone Consulting LLC is working for Green Empire Farms, Inc. and ZB Pearl LLC, both locked in through 2026, according to the lobbyist registry. And you got Salesforce, Inc. repped by Cojo Strategies LLC. Nah, I'm not saying it's connected, but it makes you wonder where the real attention's at, you know?

That pothole number? It’s a gut punch. It tells you what residents are dealing with every single day. We need to see if City Hall actually starts paving over these issues instead of just letting them sit.

That's New York — if you can't keep up, take the bus.
