    Television was the revolution.

    If people hadn’t seen MLK, the Freedom Riders, and other protesters being attacked, they would have been able to ignore it. It was when people saw the Vietnam War on the nightly news that they started reconsidering LBJ’s policies.

    New Yorker here. Yes, it’s possible for a working person to have a great apartment in Manhattan. Either they moved in early and have a rent subsidized/controlled place, or they won an apartment lottery in a new building.

    The thing that’s most unrealistic is when you see empty parking spaces any where.
