Santacon, the ...During these drunken weekends, esp. Santacon, the hospitals are strained, and the police and ambulance services are stretched to the limits and communities and residents are left picking up the pieces. Morevoer, patients who are intoxicated are abusive, argumentative, obnoxious or physically abusive. If CB3 stops thinking about how much money they're pocketing by being in bed with the bar owners, and instead start to work to propose and work with the NYPD and implement troublesome drunks arrested, charged and given a criminal record. If more people knew that if they got drunk they were going to be arrested, facing the prospect of a prosecution and having to pay a fine, they wouldn’t binge drink in the first place and then end up in the ER or hospital. <br /><br />But, of course, someone would counter that this is a waste of valuable time and resources to process, not just for the police, but also as people go through the courts and criminal justice system.<br /><br />Therefore, the solution should be tackling the problem at the source, that is the CB3 handing out liquor licenses like candies to babies on Halloween and Christmas to those they're in bed with; restrict liquor licensing, make it less easy to access cheap strong drink and pub crawls, and shorten the hours that alcohol is served. This is still a residential neighborhood, not Vegas or AC or an industrial or commercial strip. Bottom line, the problem is the source, and that source is CB3, esp. those that control CB3 namely, Stetzer, Li, and Palitz. Either changes on how a liquor license is acquired, or CB3 needs an overseer and to be overhauled; no more free rides to the CB3's Axis of Evil -- S L & P.

[HOW could the board with a straight face have had a guy (David McWaters) running the committee that approved + disapproved the issuance of liquor licenses while he owned SEVERAL neighborhood bars?]<br /><br />Forget about politically-appointed "Community" Board District Manager Susan Stetzer, who is NOT a board member, who has NO authority WHATSOEVER, yet acts as though she DOES, holding secret meetings and issuing grand public statements, all the while ensuring approval of liquor licenses to those who pay the right price (WHY are the board members so AFRAID of her?)<br /><br />There is no solution unless the city steps in to end the mess it has facilitated here. First, the city should end the ridiculous designation of the Lower East Side (East of Broadway, North of Canal, South of 13th Street) as an "Entertainment Zone."<br /><br />The city also needs to stop rewarding greedy landlords with tax write-offs for booting long-time businesses and keeping their storefronts EMPTY for years until a new tenant willing to pay 10x more rent comes along<br /><br />If commercial rents weren't so fucking high, businesses other than bars could stay and thrive in their storefronts. As it is now, existing food-related businesses need to add booze to their menus in order to survive. It's happening everywhere I look in the city.<br /><br />All that being said, how do you change human nature? There have ALWAYS been bars and clubs on the LES, but I've never seen soooo many publicly drunken arrogant ASSHOLES everywhere. When crime was at an all-time high here in the 70s + 80s, these people were deathly afraid to go East of First Avenue or below Houston. They knew their place. Now it's a free-for-all party scene just about every night, getting drunk just for the sake of getting fucked up.<br /><br />I see no light at the end of this tunnel....chris flashnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-79525604158844422962014-12-24T22:47:05.755-05:002014-12-24T22:47:05.755-05:00Drunk nerds.

I was woken up twice, which is one more than usual, there was some kind of hullabaloo somewhere on north avenue a at 3:30am that lasted a while.<br /><br />The point about squandered police work is valid, not just now when things are tense, but always. I encourage everyone to talk to an emergency room worker, EMT or cop and hear for yourselves how they growl about what a waste of time it is treating these idiots who fall, fight and get robbed, while people with real emergencies suffer longer waits and less services.

They have no respect for anyone's environment, and could care less if anyone loses sleep over their partying. Obviously, the police can't stop it, and they sure have more important things to do than babysit and ticket drunks who can't behave. Surely there is SOMEONE in the neighborhood handy with a wooden stick to crack a few heads and send the message that this BS is not going to be tolerated. That's really what is needed here. If more people think that their headache will last longer than the next morning they might reconsider and change their behavior. Maybe, maybe not.
