Furthermore, I suspect our mayor feels that any money spent on the park would be better spent on entitlements. — Makes you go "hmmm..." on Seen & Heard: Macaron Shop Opening Soon

There is a group called Friends of City Hall Park but I don't know how active they are lately. — Makes you go "hmmm..." on Seen & Heard: Macaron Shop Opening Soon

I think a lot of these comments about this poor guy are just heartless! Yes, this guy and his belongings are gone, but I keep wondering about him and what became of him. Hopefully, he was able to get help, but I'm sure he just moved to another location and remains homeless. Remember no matter how comfortable our cushy little lives are in Tribeca in our beautiful lofts and with our high priced restaurants and stores, we should never forget how fine a line there is between his life and ours. With just a little bit of bad luck...say the loss of a job or some sort of financial disaster, we could wind up in his shoes! — Denny on The Homeless Situation Is Only Getting Worse

Complete agree re City Hall Park. The gaslights have not been on for over a year, the bluestone is crumbling, vagrant population has exploded, and the park has been filthy. We need a community organization to help restore this park to its former glory since our elected officials obviously do not care. — NassauStResident on Seen & Heard: Macaron Shop Opening Soon

The condition of all the landscaping (and the hardscape, too) in City Hall Park has deteriorated horribly. It's hard to believe that it was only 12 years or so ago that they spent more than $20 million to renovate the park. — Makes you go "hmmm..." on Seen & Heard: Macaron Shop Opening Soon

This redesign is a horror. Viewed from the north and northeast, it is a glass boxed caricature of the collapsing South Tower. Viewed from the Memorial, is a sheer wall, as if trying to seperate itself from the memorial, as opposed to beckoning to it, as was the original design. The original design, with the 4 diamonds, along with the 4 spires on 3WTC, were geographical beacons that, upon completion, were designed to point to where the Twin Towers once stood, regardless of location and distance viewed from. This new design not only backhand slaps away that important design feature, it urinates on the memory of the lost. The original design was a gift to the people of NYC as an aerial beacon to the 9/11 Memorial. Surely, it isn't too late for them to re think the rooves of Towers 3 and 2, so that their Memorial facing facades can be returned to their original intent. — Jay on Many More Renderings of 2 World Trade Center

Yay- Urban Trees! — Robert Ripps on Seen & Heard: Macaron Shop Opening Soon

I believe a call to 311 should be made. Oh and anyone who says move out of the city to get a better quality of life should themselves leave since they make the city a dump in many in ways noise can never be — Dee on Seen & Heard: The Spring Street Salt Shed Is Taking Shape

Noise pollution is not an inevitable aspect of city living. New York lags behind other leading global cities in controlling noise. Do not accept the false premise that peace and quiet can only be obtained in Vermont, and demand better from city hall. — J Allen on Seen & Heard: The Spring Street Salt Shed Is Taking Shape

So very sad!! This truly disgusting and tragic for our neighborhood!! PLEASE improve on this design!!!! — Roxane West on Rendering Released for Northwest Tribeca’s Next Huge Building

i think it looks nice — sean on Seen & Heard: A New Outpost of ROC

Cobblestoning the region between the street and sidewalk is very common. It allows for drainage and for dogs to be curbed. You are odd. — Huh? on Seen & Heard: A New Outpost of ROC

Want peace and quiet? That's nice. Three words for you: move to Vermont. — LWS on Seen & Heard: The Spring Street Salt Shed Is Taking Shape

Completely underwhelmed. Vibe is upscale Parisian McDonald's. Ignored by staff. Actually had to ask for service. $5 fine an iced tea?!?! Nope. Won't be going back anytime soon. — harry40 on First Impressions: Maison Kayser

As District Leader I am supposed to have access to elected officials but after several sleepless nights and many calls to 311 about the noise all night around Duane St I had to read here in the Tribeca Citizen the cause of my dragging myself to my job bleary eyed. I even spoke with the DOT at the CB 1 quality of Life meeting last week and they knew nothing about sewer cleaning. But permits are required and I am going to look into this. If sewers are being cleaned it can be done before midnight. I have an ill husband and he suffered a great deal as well!! — Jean Grillo on Seen & Heard: Two More Shoots Tomorrow

Maybe he temporarily relocated so he can renovate? — Jim Smithers on The Homeless Situation Is Only Getting Worse

Yes, 3WTC will block it first, but people in the north will ultimately end up with a view of 2. — Erik Torkells on In the News: The “Vapid Monumentality” of the World Trade Center

But isn't 3 going to block your view before 2 does? — Hudson River on In the News: The “Vapid Monumentality” of the World Trade Center

*update* Brandon Santander's 'home' seems to have been removed from the corner of Franklin & Hudson. — JulieW on The Homeless Situation Is Only Getting Worse

And such a nice tranquil, serene street for a new home. Hardly ever has any traffic jams or honking horns! Country living at its best! — Bruce on An Eight-Story Mansion on Canal Street

Yes indeed, it is. — HCR on In the News: Maison Kayser’s Fan Is Driving Neighbors Nuts
