I'm not sure what this is. 69st by ps 128?

What fell out of his hand?

Are they building the battery plant? What’s going on?

Have you asked the mayor about this? I would really like to know what he says- on the record.

They never heard us. They were doing it regardless

It would be nice to know location

What are they putting there a homeless shelter?

👏💪 contractor should not be laying his hands on anyone.

It's incredibly irresponsible to affix a sticker to the window of a car that needs to be moved. Causing a visual obstruction is dangerous for everyone - the driver, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists. It also violates due process. You can fight and win against a ticket. ...

Any proof they put it on the windshield/driver side?

Could always roll the window down 🙄

ex TransAlt, Sanitation, if you want to be considered anything other than a joke

Could Department of Sanitation do their job and fix sink holes around storm drain. Multiple complaints filed several months ago.

They need to put stickers, give tickets and get rid of all the goddam double parkers who are at 80th street and Eliot Ave especially the cops!!! Busses cant pull in and causes traffic stand still and dangerous for pedestrians just because people are too lazy to oark and walk a block or put money in the meter. Double parking and parking in a bus stop are ILLEGAL dammit!!!!!!!!

Bullshit. Move your fucking cars

How about not painting them, and shoot red, white and blue paint balls at red light cameras instead!🤪

Never heard of this "old school" tradition of painting hydrants. Is that really legal?

Our country was founded by felons. I’m damn proud to be American! 🇺🇸

What's to celebrate? We live in a country run by a convicted felon that's a dictator and a city run by an antisemitic socialist.

He was high as a kite maybe

Maybe somebody trying to get through the roof to steal and got stuck

Was he from the shelter?

Couldn't have been there too long.

I know!!

So,No one missed this person! Must have been one of the homeless shelter peeps!
