Whatever floats your boat. At the end of day, corrupt greed won. Just like the big man always seems to do here in the city now. So, instead of fighting it, we can all adapt to and accept reality. Sad, but what else is there? We can't hold onto the past and hope it will all be different.

I'm catching the crosstown bus on 9 St. and 2nd Ave. The sun is shining on my face, there is sunlight on the street, on the sidewalk, on the buildings; I feel its warmth and enjoy the blue sky. I arrive at my eventual destination 28th St. & 7th Ave. I suddenly feel cold and the street is completely shadowed but for occasional small crevices of light. I look around me and realize every building on that block is 8-20 stories side by side. You can only see the sky if you look straight up. <br /><br />This is where we're headed in the LES if they keep being allowed to build these oversized monstrosities.hywel ddahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18392409950690944666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-79370770177111710692019-02-04T14:51:58.119-05:002019-02-04T14:51:58.119-05:00This seems like a solid deal to ensure the Hamilto...This seems like a solid deal to ensure the Hamilton-Holly House is well-maintained in perpetuity, I don't understand why so many above seem to hate it.

The real problem is transportation. The subways won't be able to handle the rush hours and the streets will be more congested with delivery trucks and car services. What a mess! And this is city planning? If CB3 allows the added floors it will make small buildings more vulnerable and deals for air rights more lucrative. And we the residents more miserable. This would not happen in any other community in the city. But our elected officials lack the passion and purpose of their elected office to help the very people they are entrusted to protect from the onslaught of greed, corruption and indecency that are too common in our society.
