☆ How Child Care in New York City Became Unaffordable for Nearly Everyone
  + stars: | 2023-09-11 | by ( Eliza Shapiro | Asmaa Elkeurti | Maansi Srivastava | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Median prices for nearly every type of child care in New York City have shot up since 2017, according to state surveys of providers. And the workers who provide child care are reeling from high costs and are leaving the industry. Many make just over minimum wage, leaving them barely able to afford to stay in New York City or pay for care for their own children. Interviews with more than three dozen parents, nannies, day care providers and experts revealed a potentially devastating crisis for the future of New York City. In recent years, only the astronomical cost of housing has presented a greater obstacle to working families than the cost of child care, experts said.

☆ Elevators at Most Subway Stations? ‘I’ll Believe It When I See It.’

New York City’s subway system is a maze of obstructions for people who have difficulty walking. New York has lagged far behind other major American cities in building access points for people with disabilities. Upgrading the entire subway — the continent’s biggest transit network — will take decades and cost billions of dollars. with long and uncertain timelines have diminished many disabled riders’ faith in the authority’s ability to deliver. “I’ll believe it when I see it,” said Yimbert Remigio, 24, who lives in the Bronx and has always relied on a wheelchair.

The bodies of two boys, who family members said were together shortly before they disappeared over a week ago, have been recovered from separate locations in the waters off Manhattan, the police said Saturday. One of the boys, Alfa Barrie, 11, who lived in the Morrisania neighborhood of the Bronx, was last seen on May 12, the police said. Alfa was reported to the police as missing on May 14, and his body was recovered on Saturday morning from the Hudson River at West 102nd Street. Garrett was reported missing on Monday, and his body was recovered from the Harlem River, on the east side of Manhattan, on Thursday morning. On Saturday, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office said Garrett’s cause of death was accidental drowning.
☆ A Crumbling New York Garage Collapsed. Dozens More Have Similar Problems.
  + stars: | 2023-05-15 | by ( Patrick Mcgeehan | Asmaa Elkeurti | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
After a parking garage collapsed in Lower Manhattan last month, killing one person and injuring five others, officials scrambled to check dozens of other garages across the city for structural problems that could cause another disaster. They immediately identified dozens of garages with potential hazards, ordering some shuttered and closing off sections of others until their structural defects could be repaired. Three weeks after the fatal collapse, city officials have revealed little about what they found in their sweep. They have not identified the more than 170 parking structures they rushed to inspect or divulged what conditions they discovered within them. But a New York Times examination of the city’s garages has found that serious structural problems are widespread — and in many cases have been allowed to persist uncorrected for years.
☆ Should New York City Have Free Buses?
  + stars: | 2023-04-19 | by ( Winnie Hu | Asmaa Elkeurti | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Free bus service could come to 10 bus routes in New York City under a proposal by state lawmakers to lure more riders to the city’s struggling transit system and help those who cannot afford to pay the $2.75 fare. Two bus routes in each of the city’s five boroughs would be designated for a free bus pilot program, according to the proposal, which is being pushed by state legislative leaders in budget negotiations. Though the routes have not yet been chosen, one in each borough has to serve a low-income community and the other a commercial corridor. On Tuesday morning, Mayor Eric Adams voiced his approval of the pilot program in a video posted on Twitter and Instagram by Assemblyman Zohran Kwame Mamdani, a Queens Democrat and a sponsor of the proposal.
