The project that was created, fully funded and approved by the community over a span of more than 7 years, with expert input, was a GOOD and ecologically sound project. It saved the old growth trees, the newly renovated waterfront and added many MORE acres of green space. It kept parts of the park open during phased construction. It slightly inconvenienced the FDR traffic. Although the new City Hall approved plan (the ESCR) apparently does that also. Somebody, again, is trying to get rich by depriving poor people, artists and people of color of a beautiful green space. Oh yes and the original plan cost only 860 million, while this farce is going to put 1.4 BILLION into somebody's pocket! Guess it wasn't enough profit. SHAME on CB 3 for approving this new plan after the ULURP hearings. I attended 3 of them and I didn't hear more than 2% of speakers who wanted the new City hall plan. Why do you even bother to pretend to listen to us??

Do they think we're that dense or stupid about what the underlining intentions of this really are? If it wasn't for us, they would not have salaries, which affords them power and influence. And yet, here they are, at the helm, going forth, making rash decisions which are not only reckless and based on little to no evidence, but which are also irreversible. This is on DeBlassio's watch. I hope that clown (who I stupidly voted for twice) and those whom are spearheading this demolition face the consequences of their manipulation and selfish deeds.

And it's more about politicians doing what they want to do and ignoring the public. It's more about corruption and personal gain. This is the abuse of ONE PARTY RULE.

It will affect many lives for many years. And for what or whom exactly? Oh right. Mayor DeBlassio. This loser not only thinks he can revitalize east side river park for his own self-serving needs, but he also believes he can become president. What planet is he on? Jupiter? I can't stand what he is doing to our city. He's doesn't give a shit about us in this community or anyone else for that matter. Have people really done any research? Is this really the most proven way to combat global warming? This won't just take three years. It might take five to seven years, perhaps ten years given how they have to dig into soil, tear everything apart and build over with new concrete for miles. This is HUGE undertaking and will cost BILLIONS of dollars. Where are the funds coming from? How will this affect those living nearby in the projects? Why is our area the ONLY area in NYC this is happening to? Is our area the ONLY area prone to flooding? I think not. I smell a rotten egg. Welcome to the highline east with new high-rises and condos.

Public housing with million dollars views-indeed! Some even have parking, the audacity.

De Blasios "World class park" and uninterrupted East River view will be highlighted in the brochures for the future luxury condos. De Blasioville or The Hudson Yards was just a warm up to the coming "East River Towers".noble neolanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721532867336440260noreply@blogger.com
