Hi there! I recently found this paper that showed a correlation between Big 5 personality traits and neighborhood choice in the Greater London Area. I wanted to see if these results could be replicated in NYC.
Calling all NYC residents (spread the word to your partners and friends too) I'm looking for more responses to this survey :) I will share results promptly so long as I can get a sufficient sample size quickly, I'm looking for 8k-18k responses to ensure statistical validity.
The survey will also give you your Big 5 Personality scores as an incentive. Open to suggestions. I really appreciate this community for it's support.

Hello. I’m a caregiver that frequents Coffey park with my little one. I have, on multiple occasions noticed a nanny with two girls (approx ages: 14 months and 2 years) sitting in their double stroller for hours and hours at a time. The girls seem to be in distress occasionally but are never pulled out to be comforted or played with. Other caregivers have noticed the same nanny acting the same way with the girls at different hours throughout the day. We’ve pieced together that these little noodles are spending at least 4+ hours in their stroller a day.

Unfortunately it looks like, as soon as they get to the park, they find a bench, post up and the girls are pretty much ignored.

Obviously our ultimate goal is to make the parents aware of the situation. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your help!

I am a long-time Redditor working with Communities Speak, a research project housed at Columbia University and supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies. We are collecting data from New Yorkers across the city on their experiences and are are particularly interested in accessing and affording food in the city and where you go to for help when you need it.

We aim to increase the diversity and influence of community voices in policy-making by developing data-driven dialogue between community leaders, constituents, and governments. Results will be shared with local leaders and community-based organizations to help them better understand the unique challenges you are facing. By participating, you can make sure that voices are represented across the city. The entire survey takes about 10 minutes and responses are completely anonymous. All survey answers are kept on private, secure servers and no personal information is distributed according to the ethical guidelines and rules of the Institutional Review Board (we are not a student project and this is not market research). If you're comfortable sharing contact information you may enter to win a prepaid VISA gift card.

Hi all - just moved in to an apartment on Richards and King. During the move in process a rolling cart went missing, all it had was a box of ornaments and a snowman cookie jar. If anyone saw anything or knows please share. There are some very sentimental ornaments in there and really looking to get them back.

Hey guys! I don’t make it to San Pedro Inn in Red Hook often, but when I do I always LOVE the music they play.

I was there last night a recorded a bit of a song with hopes to identify it and have been unable to: http://sndup.net/2mff

If anyone can identify that’d be great. Or if anyone can recommend similar music I’d be super grateful! 🙏
