The mural, designed by Brooklyn-based conceptual artist GERALUZ & WERC, is the first project completed under NASA’s new public art initiative, by and for local communities, that is aimed at inspiring a new generation to connect and engage with the agency and its programs. Find it on the north side of Charlton between Hudson and Varick.

Maybe we need to STOP voting (locally) for the wrong people, whom clearly rather be soft on crime than enforce the rule of law and protect us citizens.
Yes, though I’m not optimistic this would ever happen because the district’s voting record is such that better candidates don’t even try, or if they do (looking at Maud Marron here), they can’t get any traction via fundraising or support from the local Democrat political clubs. The sad truth is that all our local elections are decided on primary day and very few people vote much less pay attention at that point of the cycle.
For another example of the disorder our local politicians have given us, look no further than today’s Broadsheet — on 9/16 DEA agents stopped a car at Battery and West that contained 110 pounds of crystal meth and the 2 men arrested were released after arraignment because under New York law, possession of methamphetamine (regardless of the quantity) is not a bail-eligible offense. Who thinks they will show up for trial?

I agree completely. But it will take organization around a good candidate. Further, from this website, I am not sure if majority of Tribecans feel that crime and homelessness are critical issues that drive their voting behavior. If reflective of city, then no way to change until things get way worse like the 70s.
