Your Heat and Potholes Are Still the Biggest Headaches

So look, City Hall's been busy, right? But busy doing what? The 311 calls tell the real story of what's bugging regular New Yorkers, and it ain't pretty. Guess what's still number one on the list? Potholes. Deadass, 4,638 requests for "Street Condition / Pothole." That's more than any other issue, makin' our morning commutes on the Q train feel like a rally car race. And it's not just the streets.

### What's Really Heating Up

Right behind those crater-sized potholes? "HEAT/HOT WATER / ENTIRE BUILDING" with 3,384 requests, plus another 1,599 for "APARTMENT ONLY." We're talking almost 5,000 New Yorkers freezing their buns off, waiting for a little hot water. It's November, people, this ain't a surprise. Meanwhile, the lobbyist registry shows Cojo Strategies lobbying for Salesforce, Inc., and Constantinople & Vallone Consulting working for ZB Pearl LLC. While they're out there pushing agendas, folks are just trying to get heat and drive down a smooth street.

Here’s the thing: these 311 numbers, they're not just complaints, they're a barometer for what actually impacts us every single day. We need to see if City Hall's gonna connect the dots between these endless calls and where the real work needs to get done.

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