🚧 Project + POOL is entering its final testing phase

🤞 The futuristic floating pool, + POOL, is https://secretnyc.co/nyc-plus-floating-pool-east-river-testing-summer-2026/ for its decisive trials this summer. In development since 2010, the project is a massive plus-shaped structure designed to filter river water.

ℹ️ The current version, called POOL1, is 25% smaller than the original concept but already equipped with all essential engineering systems. The New York City Department of Health requires a strict “dry run” (no swimmers) to ensure water quality meets safety standards. Engineers will also install an emergency chlorine dosing system to guarantee safety – even after heavy storms.

📆 After summer testing is complete, the structure will be fitted with showers and changing rooms. The official public opening is now scheduled for summer 2027.

📰 Waymo has paused its self-driving car tests in New York after permits expired on March 31, https://www.thecity.nyc/2026/04/06/waymo-driverless-cars-testing-roads-autonomous-vehicle/ to The City.

🚕 Eight Jaguar I-PACE robotaxis had been operating in Brooklyn and Manhattan since last summer — without a single reported accident. Still, city and state officials remain cautious, while the New York Taxi Workers Alliance strongly opposes the rollout.

🚥 Experts highlight NYC’s unique challenges: dense traffic, unpredictable pedestrians, elderly residents, and fast e-bikes reaching up to 30 mph.

ℹ️ Waymo is now pushing to renew permits, aiming to launch a full robotaxi service — already live in 10 other U. S. cities.

💸 How much families need to earn to live in different NYC boroughs

📰 According to a https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-04-06/nyc-families-need-over-125-000-in-income-to-live-in-any-borough by the New York City Fund, a working family of four needs about $133,000 per year to cover basic needs without any external support. However, this amount varies significantly by borough. For example, in the Bronx, a family needs $125,814 annually – the lowest among all boroughs. Notably, this figure has increased by 162% since 2000.

Required income in other areas:
• South Manhattan — $167,285
• Northwest Brooklyn — $154,263
• North Manhattan — $137,627
• Brooklyn — $132,975
• Queens — $132,249
• Staten Island — $129,061

ℹ️ A similar report was recently released by the Mamdani administration: 62% of New Yorkers (over 5 million people) earn less than what is needed for basic living. For families with children, this threshold is $159,000 per year, while the median income is only about $124,000.
