Forgery is not necessary. Two years ago I showed up to vote as I have done so for decades. Someone had signed my name and voted. The signature looked nothing like mine even though they had my real signature right there to compare. I pulled out my IDs and they refused to look at them. I made a scene. Long story short I was allowed to vote that day but then spent months straightening things out at the Board of Elections. Yeah, let's talk alright. — PeterD on In the News: Another Report Says Retail Rents Are Dropping

At Spruce and Gold, do they turn on their emergency lights like they do when they are making the illegal right turn onto N. Moore St, heading to the 1st Precinct? — James on Seen & Heard: A New Louisiana-Style Restaurant?

It's pretty sad that they tried to cut corners with such a prominent and expensive building. The "value engineering" is definitely in play as I also recall reading how they designed it so that the curved walls are all the same size, which makes it much cheaper to build. — lowphat on Solving the Mystery of 111 Murray

Can Deborah Glick first address the clusterduck that is every polling station on Election Day? Whole Foods' check out lines are better organized than the PS 264 gymnasium's mosh pit. — Jim Smithers on In the News: Another Report Says Retail Rents Are Dropping

Thanks for this great interview. I'm particularly bothered by the covers on all the license plates, and the fact that recent articles have shown many of these covers are owned by police officers. — Rob on The Parking Vigilantes

That is utilitarian? — Anonymous on Maharishi Is Opening a Store in Tribeca

Don't forget the more than 5 million members of state or municipal pension funds in California (including CalPERS), New York (including The New York State Common Retirement Fund), Texas, Arizona, Montana, Michigan and Missouri who invested about half the money in the fund that now owns Trump Soho.

When is the DoT going to step in with a plan for the tangle at 6th, Lispenard, and West Broadway? It is a mess and a hazard to pedestrians. The cops from Transit #1 park wherever they please with half-vehicles up on the sidewalk. — Friends of Tribeca Park on The Parking Vigilantes

So sorry innocent workers have to suffer but Trump Soho "hotel" was foisted on the SoHo community against its wishes and in violation of all kinds of appropriate land use. Karma — Jean Grillo on In the News: Lawsuit Over 1WTC’s Filthy Windows

Thanks for highlighting this problem. On-street, legal or illegal, police parking is a tremendous detriment to Lower Manhattan public safety. One only needs to walk around on holidays to see how much safer (and better) our streets and sidewalks become when cars aren't parked haphazardly, especially near crosswalks and bus loading zones. A huge problem too about this kind of low-grade corruption is how corrosive it is to public trust. When corruption is routinized, it really makes it easy to dismiss the authority of law enforcement, who do little to enforce laws. Walk around on a weekday with a four-year-old and try to explain why the police, who are supposed to secure public safety, park their cars in ways that make everything more dangerous -- I can't come up with an honest defense. This is the most common everyday experience with law enforcement most of us have downtown and it doesn't look good for the police, especially when a four-year-old can immediately recognize the hypocrisy. — Michael on The Parking Vigilantes
