bronx

The Bronx is no Williamsburg, but it's changing.

The next closest walkable bridge between The Bronx and Manhattan, open to pedestrians, is probably at 145th St.

Fire burned the bronx because city budget cuts closed fire departments, reduced fire inspections and caused hydrants to not work.

Couldn't Joe from the Bronx who works at McDonalds just get his $15/h straight to his no-fee account every month?

No drug dealer from the Bronx was reviewed by buyers for all to see before making a deal with them.

Arguably, a dealer from the Bronx would be on the streets so couldn't make that defense in the first place...

Anecdotal stories indicate that the system may have extended into the Bronx, with sandwich subs reportedly being delivered via pneumatic tubes from a renown subway shop in the Bronx to downtown postal stations.

Redlining, white flight, drug epidemics and shoddy building codes and enforcement all contributed to urban decay in the Bronx in the 1970s.

No drug dealer from the Bronx has ever made this argument to the court.

My girlfriend is puerto rican and grew up in harlem and the bronx.

There are a few exceptional public schools (Stuyvesant, Hunter, Bronx Science), but they're highly selective and certainly can't fit every kid in the city.

"Joe from the Bronx" would never trust a bank that made him do everything online, and to be honest, neither would I.

From the recently posted article about Uber: > "Using Uber requires having a credit card, the lack of which, for many residents of the Bronx, one green-taxi driver once told me, made getting fares there very hard." What does that mean?

Claiming that rent control alone "produced" the "Bronx is burning" is a bit like saying that "pouring water on the ground will cause a plant to grow" -- you've ignored the steps needed to get there.

Same in "the colonies," like: San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Austin, the Bronx and Brooklyn (ways you know the real estate market has gone bonkers: people are buying in Manhattan because it's cheaper than Brooklyn).

Does it mean poor/working class people don't have bank accounts in the Bronx?

It's not especially near 110th Street:-) It crosses from 173rd Street in Manhattan to 170th Street in the Bronx.

Go visit a public school in a place like Greenwich, CT and then go visit a public school in the Bronx.
