  2. LD can do whatever he wants because he's better than you. The amount of pollution he's personally responsible is more than balanced out by his good intentions. That's how it works.

  3. His luxury eco resort in Belize by NY developer Delos. Delos's health centric condo on E11th Street where prices start at 15.5 million per apartment. The homeless shelters are busting at the seems in NYC and a large percentage of residents in our neighborhood are being harassed out of their apartments. I guess you have to start somewhere though. Thanks for giving us the heads up.

  4. Can't say I disagree that we have real concerns about the environment with the new Prez, but why focus on what a millionaire playboy has to say. Shouldn't the focus be on the deplorable conditions many of our neighbors are forced to live in or through. Oh and they are the lucky ones as they at least have a roof over their heads, not like the families sent to hotels or dangerous apartments with exploding radiators. I don't get who curates this museum, how about focusing on what is right on your doorstep, or sleeping on your doorstep. Absurd.
