Tompkins Square Park still without a gate at Avenue A and St. Mark's Place



Last Thursday, a man driving a station wagon crashed through the front gate of Tompkins Square Park on Avenue A and St. Mark's Place ... sections of the damaged gate were sitting there for several days... now they're gone... with some orange tape in place for the time being...

    Oh please. "Anarchy" had nothing to do with the gate being taken down, stupidity and carelessness did.

    Everybody but the homeless -- so say the gates, a collusion between gov and real estate. Blame gentrification on hipsters, students, yunnies, artists, landlords or surplus accumulation if you please, but city gov was there at the start with these Gates of Gentrification. The question is not 'whose park?' but 'whose neighborhood?' and 'whose government?' And, not to forget their role in expelling the homeless, 'whose community board?'
