Some kind of bleachers have been put up, and other funny little structures. The construction workers told me it's going to be a "garden." Maybe they're sprucing up the empty lot to make it more attractive for the multi-millionaire apartment buyers they're trying to attract.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-86337731700210066472016-05-15T12:22:13.197-04:002016-05-15T12:22:13.197-04:00I am not gonna accept being assaulted, which is wh...I am not gonna accept being assaulted, which is what this is.

SMH.<br /><br />Seeing how the greedy landlords/developers KEEP crawling out of the woodwork to take over this neighborhood wholesale is disgusting. It's evident that they don't see the people living here as anything but stupid, poor, older, and easy to manipulate. And we certainly aren't entitled to live in a stable neighborhood, from the developers' POV. (In fact, "people like us" should go move far away from the developers' POV - I'd say the Bronx, but even that is getting somewhat gentrified now.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-29673042093792507942016-05-13T10:14:02.385-04:002016-05-13T10:14:02.385-04:00These arent two bit scammers like Cronan.

On top of that the Bloomberg years did it best to make commenting via automobile near impossible with raising tolls for B&Ts, eliminating car lanes and parking spaces in the city to "encourage" everyone to use mass transit. What Bloomberg forgot though was that the MTA was not able to expand the subways to handle surge of passengers. The L train and tunnels is a great example of what was once a minor line serving a low populated areas of the city which now has several times the riders ever expected. I understand NY state is in charge of the MTA and funding for any work comes from them and the Feds. One of the guest on NY1 mentioned a tipping point when people will eventually leave the city do to the hassle of getting around and commenting. That sounded like a silver lining to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-32058995834022820122016-05-13T09:25:28.440-04:002016-05-13T09:25:28.440-04:00This type of "cash flow" to major cities...This type of "cash flow" to major cities is unsustainable, period, for the cities and the nation...but here we are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-70828835869561851492016-05-13T09:24:34.543-04:002016-05-13T09:24:34.543-04:00That "lot" is supposed to be a community...That "lot" is supposed to be a community garden, but Capoccia kept it locked up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-45226581334735286432016-05-13T08:46:13.893-04:002016-05-13T08:46:13.893-04:00This is big money moving in, not piddly Croman mon...This is big money moving in, not piddly Croman money.
