Will something finally be done about the counterfeit sellers? — Marcus on Marte wins reelection with 63 percent of vote

I, for one, and encouraged to hear from someone like Patrick; someone who seems to be cognizant of living within a community, and the responsibilities therein, along with an acknowledgement of the negative externalities some choices they make create. — malcolm on Marte wins reelection with 63 percent of vote

Patrick, so let me get this straight...you have a car and live here in Tribeca and are probably on the lower end of the income range, but you feel you don't deserve an exemption? Can I ask why? Do you take your car out regularly? For work? For pleasure? Do you travel in and out of the proposed "congestion zone?" So you're saying that when you do, you're prepared to happily pay an additional fee (not cheap) when you return to your home or to your garage? Why is this? You feel it's your responsibility as a congestion zone resident to hand over more money to the city (actually, the MTA) for the "privilege" of living in this neighborhood? Just trying to understand. Also wondering if there are many more like you. BTW, what do you consider "lower income", as it was used in your last line, "lower income folks." — Paul on Marte wins reelection with 63 percent of vote

Yes always with a smile, (even when in disagreement.). He was kind and generous. I am grateful to have a visit with Bob and Cora shortly before he died. He will be missed. — Kathy on Remembering longtime BPC activist Bob Schneck

The United American Land Co and their architects of choice have been a blight on the SoHo and Tribeca neighborhoods for a very long time. — Don on Renderings revealed for 277 Canal at Broadway

I’m disappointed to see these results. From my experience, Marte does not advocate for working families in a full sense. In winter and spring 2022, I called or wrote his office nearly every week asking why he hasnt stood up against the obsolete quarantine closures that were still plaguing families with children under 5. This means even when just one family reported a Covid case to a school, that entire classroom would be shut down for 5-10 days depending on where we were in the pandemic timeline. This rule became obsolete and counter the science certainly after omicron and was extremely challenging for families w two working parents. My child essentially didn’t have school/care in dec-Jan and mar- apr. Marte never responded to me, never spoke out publicly, the one time I actually had a conversation w a staffer they were clueless. These closures didn’t end until the very end of AUGUST 2022. Btw same applies for marte’s stance on keeping only toddlers masked last year. — Mom of little children on Marte wins reelection with 63 percent of vote

10-foot mounds tend to block views and would take up half the existing park. Goodbye playground! — Mark Ciallela on The Latest: Battery Park City’s resiliency plans for the streets of Tribeca

If you are going to build big, a very sensitive solution -- I wonder if there are any remnants of the theatre left. . . — George Bacon on Renderings revealed for 277 Canal at Broadway

They closed for renovations and were supposed to be moving all services upstairs (not just the medical services).. Not sure if this accusation threw a hiccup into the plans.. — B.Thompson on In the News: Local doctor accused of filming patients

Ah that may be the reason why they are no longer there. By the way I reported them for insurance fraud as well. They said their facilities is in network, but then claim the doctor is not so they were charging me his fees, to find out when I called my insurance company they paid the facilities for my visit. Also I just realized the Capital One bank ion Chambers and Broadway is no longer there. What happened to it? — Sandra on In the News: Local doctor accused of filming patients

I am still curious to see how he handles the illegal weed smoke shop. By the way that new "Bodega" that just opened up next to Los Tacos. Is in FACT a smoke shop that sells chips. — Sandra on Marte wins reelection with 63 percent of vote

I had a chance to speak to Chris and ask some specific questions about affordable housing and congestion pricing. I dont think Chris possesses enough knowledge about how affordable housing is financed. But he does know how to campaign. Affordable units need to funded to build, just like market rate units do. Changing the counter tops or flooring doesnt move the needle. Yes we can use more 100% affordable but 100% of Zero (if a project cannot pencil out with more than 30 or 20% affordable) is still Zero affordable units. As far as congestion pricing goes, he of course says he wants exemptions for people in the district. I dont agree unless you are below middle income. I have a car and I live here in Tribeca and I am probably on the low end of the income range. I dont deserve an exemption and told him so. Hopefully its just for lower income folks who need to drive for work — Patrick on Marte wins reelection with 63 percent of vote

Exactly my thoughts. Well said. — Daniel on The Latest: Battery Park City’s resiliency plans for the streets of Tribeca

Actually, there was garbage all over the sidewalk between the highway and Greenwich St today, and there still is, and that’s actually right next to a school. And it wasn’t caused by a restaurant with acoustic music. Can we focus on the actual problems in our neighborhood? — J on New restaurant coming to The Palm space

If this restaurant had a classical music trio, rather than ‘ethnic music,’ no one would bat an eye. It’s acoustic instruments, folks. — J on New restaurant coming to The Palm space

Are we all on Candid Camera? I'm waiting for somebody to jump out and exclaim, "Just kidding! Nobody would ever build something this stupid! We just wanted to see your reactions!" This wall is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever seen in the public dialog. There is a 100% chance it will quickly become a vandalized, weed-covered, crumbling eyesore that will serve to provide cover for quality-of-life lowering activities. I have very little faith that anything "deployable" will actually be functioning with staff that is prepared for a rapid deployment the next time a storm is bearing down on NYC. So who knows if this ill-conceived storm protection will even work when needed. Don't try to recreate the wheel here, just use the existing technology: a levee. Build a 5-10 foot mound running north-south, cover it with grass and throw a walking path on top. Problem solved. — Thomas Hagen on The Latest: Battery Park City’s resiliency plans for the streets of Tribeca
