Meanwhile in New York ... | Two things occupy the minds of many New Yorkers: Subway safety and rent payments. And Justin Fox has some thoughts on both. Underground, he says the data doesn't look pretty: "As I wrote in a similar review of subway crime two years ago, it's the other crimes — violent, mostly senseless crimes — that continue to be a problem. Giving each major felony category its own mini-chart makes this clearer." "It is awful and unacceptable that 10 people were murdered in the subway system in 2024," he writes. But commuting to work on the 6 Train still beats the highway: Aboveground, is it possible that the city's reputation for exorbitant rents isn't as bad as people make it out to be? Well, not exactly. Justin says "rents on market-rate apartments in the city have risen faster than inflation since just before the pandemic." But if you're in a rent-stabilized unit, you've got a sweet deal: Zohran Mamdani could deliver a rent freeze on those units, as he's promising in his campaign, but it wouldn't do much to solve the underlying problem, notes Justin. I never thought Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis' Freaky Friday sequel would get one-upped by the oil market, but this flip-flop is wild: "Until recently, global oil demand peaked every year with the arrival of the Northern Hemisphere's winter. As temperatures dropped from October onward, heating oil and kerosene consumption spiked from the US to Germany to Japan. Hence, as recently as 2014, the fourth quarter still marked the annual high for crude demand and, typically, prices. Since then, the seasonality has flipped," explains Javier Blas: "Now, the third quarter sees higher demand and prices. The shift means the market is now at its tightest from July to September, rather than October to December."  Elsewhere in supply problems, you have David Fickling on the looming dairy disaster: "Milk is mostly being produced in the wrong places for the young stomachs that need it. More than 90% of children under four are in developing countries — but the same nations produce barely half of the world's milk," he writes. "With trade providing only limited relief, we're most likely to see shortages, as rising demand from developing countries is met with limited increases in supply."
