It's not Canada's fault, it's the world ignoring climate change. But like, what else are we supposed to do?? Memes it is...

I like working outside. On Tuesday, June 6, while typing away in my modest backyard, the hazy air (which I had attributed to unpleasant New York summers) started to smell like a campfire. Shortly after, I learned the haze and accompanying smell hailed all the way from Canada, where wildfires are ravaging the forests. Though wildfires are an expected natural occurrence in both Canada and the United States, the intensity and number of fires are both unprecedented. Tuesday's smoky air went from “u…

Every so often, you come across a landlord tale that actually turns out alright for the tenant in the end. This update was posted to Reddit's r/LandlordLove subreddit by u/Upbeat-Poem-1284 , who shared that after putting in several requests for almost a year and after several attempts at completing those repairs went wrong (see the original poster for details), the Redditor and their roommate decided to stop paying rent. According to OP, it is within the tenant's rights in their city to withhol…

As someone who has lived in New York City for my entire life, I am used to the rent being ridiculous. But that doesn't mean I'm cool with it. Every time I move it's to another tenement-like apartment and farther from “civilization.” It's frustrating, as a native, to be pushed out of your own neighborhood. But this is where the jobs are, and where my friends and family are, so I deal with it. Lately I've been hearing that it's actually cheaper to live in Manhattan than Brooklyn - a claim I can o…

When renting or even owning property on of the biggest nightmares is a fire. That is why there are fire safety laws, especially in renting property for everyone's safety. However, in big cities, such as New York, it is easy to fly under the radar and get away with fire hazards. It doesn't seem like a big deal in the moment if there is a couple of bikes blocking the fire exit, or the smoke detecter doesn't work, but if an emergency happens those things become big problems. So as a tenant, for yo…

Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at? The New York City borough is kind of a big deal. While it may get a bad rap for harboring trust fund hipsters and intolerable yuppies, it's also a cultural hub like no other. Brooklyn raised some of the best rappers, from Notorious B.I.G. and Lil Kim to Jay-Z, as well as entertainers like Barbra Streisand, Larry David, and Eddie Murphy. We'd be remiss not to include Bernie Sanders. While it may not win the award for most diverse borough, it certainly comes…

“If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.” There's definitely some truth to this lyric about New York City . Frank Sinatra wasn't wrong. But…do you really want to? As a native New Yorker, I often find myself asking if it's worth it. The rent keeps going up and my apartment isn't getting any bigger or nicer. There are tons of people gentrifying every neighborhood that has any personality, pushing out its residents that have lived there for years. The commute is both frustrating (the MT…

Online mobs getting people fired is nothing new. Whether someone deserves to get fired over bad takes has always been an incredibly contentious debate.
