Is that Bill Ds reelection slogan? Hes keeping it. 'city related'? Seriously- the people here who support others being homeless, mentally ill, addicted, and think thats acceptable need to wake up."<br /><br />My answer to that would be YES. In what universe do you think that there are no "crazy homeless, junkies, rats, degenerates, homeless, mentally ill, addicted"??? I prefer to use kinder words to describe them, but these people are part of the human race. You may not see them in other places because they are forced out or thrown in jail in order to sanitize a community.<br /><br />The so called progressives you refer to may not take strangers into their homes, but you can bet your ass that they give them food, advocate on their behalf, share some of their often meager incomes to help those down and out, etc. More so, they accept others and offer them dignity <br /><br />Spend some time in the park engaging in a conversation with one of them. Smile and offer a "have a nice day". You'd be amazed at what you might learn and how it might make you actually appreciate the park as it is.<br /><br />As for the rats, they are a nuisance, health risk, etc. I have heard that they are rampant so as not to put poison out that may sicken dogs and children. Hopefully we can work with the city and some specialists to solve for that.<br /><br />Taterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05910421174484172565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-46182244757115979682015-07-29T02:35:38.752-04:002015-07-29T02:35:38.752-04:00Congrats to all of those who complained, irritated...Congrats to all of those who complained, irritated, annoyed, ridiculed, bothered etc. the police and others to get the tower removed. Again you have done your best to make sure that no New York City money gets spent on EV. Rather than accepting the Tower for what it was and decrying that yes, this area is in need of more/better homeless services and used the situation to get people the help they deserve (such as on site DHS staff), you have made sure that the homeless will continue to "rot" away while all of you call it a "lifestyle choice."

Psychologically, I just couldn't enjoy the NEW TOMPKINS POLICE STATE PARK with that ugly ass tower of doom hanging over my head like a permanent FU to anyone who wants to relax in peace. As for the other cameras? Whatever. If they had those and they are operable, then why did they need the stupid tower? That tower made me FEEL like a criminal (even though I am basically, basically law-abiding). But be real: THEY ARE COMING FOR THE PARK; it just won't go as easily as the others. READ: OBSERVER, KUSHNER, ICON, NYPOST and the rest: WE WILL FIGHT FOR OUR PUBLIC SPACE FOR EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE HOMELESS. THE EV, same as it ever was (in some respects). Memo to newbies—STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT SHIT THAT IS JUST CITY RELATED and rethink or reconsider, for a moment, what you moved here for. Surely it was not to displace a lot of the folks who were already here when you arrived, right? Stop trying to make this into your safe, suburban hamlet and using GOP trash papers to help your EGO CAUSE!!!!!
