In for a penny, amiright?<br /><br />Seriously though, "pretty evil" is an understatement. This is absolutely despicable behavior by politicians whose only concern seems to be leveling up to council speaker (Rivera) or governor (De Blasio) while claiming they only had the best interests of the neighborhood or city at heart.brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13988575191172213796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-27509641111588959882021-12-12T12:59:39.750-05:002021-12-12T12:59:39.750-05:00If our councilperson or her cohorts have the temer...If our councilperson or her cohorts have the temerity to show their shameful faces at the tree lighting this year someone needs to tell them right to their faces how shameful they are imo.

De Blasio is ushering in an age where politicians are fully compliant to the wants of construction and real estate companies. Ignoring the laws around us and the communities that elected them. Instead subservient to the corpos who paid for the campaign, without a second thought. Let this be a hard lesson in getting out to vote. Eric Adams will take these moves and every developer give away will be protected by the NYPD as a base action against the people ruining his gain of wealth from his political career. <br /><br />Keep being afraid of your neighbors who don’t identify as party line democrats and you’ll keep seeing this city scrubbed into its concrete tourist strolling distopia for short term profit, only to fall back on the people for more tax dollars when their plans bloat because those industries want more. When another disaster strikes, the tourists will leave and the people will pay to keep this place alive, and the politicians will take that money and funnel it to the developers of which they kiss the feet.<br /><br />Everyone and every media outlet and NIMBY decried who didn’t see the big deal in closing down 60%+ of the park for five plus years is seeing the reasons now. As you no longer have anywhere safe to maintain your health, escape to nature, or even visit the eastern coast line. People will be pushed into the streets to collide with De Blasio’s other failures such as Vision Zero. I’m which they’ll tell you, “you should have watched out for the speeding car.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
