Psst, the world is melting. Cycling is good. — TG on In the News: Bouley’s townhouse for sale
Interesting because tenants aren’t supposed to know who is who in 20/80 agreement. You are implying that people who have adjusted income rent are criminal and dirty. Wow! How medieval. If I did not know better I would think you were a bot. — TG on In the News: Keeping the sidewalk clear is law
This is a wonderful store for all women, not just maternity or post maternity clothes. Also the jewelry and accessories are lovely. I have received a very friendly welcome every time I have stopped in to browse. — JS Miller on New Kid on the Block: Emilia George
Gonna go out on a limb and guess the MTA's gonna use the courts to store their equipment for that upgrade. — J Frank P on Seen & Heard: The Survivor Trees of the World Trade Center
The repeated vandalism to the exterior is disgusting. Such a beautiful building allowed to be abused in this way. — Marcus on Field Trip: The Armour-Stiner Octagon House, Irvington, NY

It does not have landmark status for the interior. — Tribeca Citizen on Field Trip: The Armour-Stiner Octagon House, Irvington, NY
Oh great! An upscale Whole Foods! At last! — George Bacon on Whole Foods Market One Wall Street to open on Jan. 11
"he is responsible for preserving ... the National City Bank Building on Canal and Broadway." That wonderful bank, by Walker and Gillette, has gone steadily downhill since CitiBank left. The original banking floor was still in pristine condition when they left. And it was a spectacular interior. I do not consider this "preserving" anything. This loss enters my thoughts everytime I pass this poor shell of a once wonderful neighborhood landmark — Don on Field Trip: The Armour-Stiner Octagon House, Irvington, NY
I agree! — Original NYer on Whole Foods Market One Wall Street to open on Jan. 11
Affordable units need market rate units to get built. Any affordable unit needs to be subsidized. I dont think its breaking the law if there is a program that allows for more density, or height in exchange for increasing the affordability percentage in units. You may also be surprised (seeing some of the other comments above) that the problems in buildings with residents are not usually the affordable paying tenants. People who qualify to rent those places usually are teachers, med workers, support staff, workforce or just people who make below 120k a year. The ranges for what is "affordable" is broad — Patrick on In the News: Keeping the sidewalk clear is law
I'm all for more bike lanes (and wider sidewalks, and more pedestrian spaces, and prioritization of public transit...including modern streetcars!) The more the better, especially if that goes along with reducing vehicle traffic. Of course, cyclists should ride safely and respect the laws. That's a given. Of course, so should drivers and pedestrians, for that matter. — Marcus on In the News: Bouley’s townhouse for sale
Affordable housing in some other countries seems to be just that. Affordable units within luxury building always comes across as a real estate developer scheme to get around regulations when they break the laws.( zoning, height etc.). City government and politicians gladly collude. But again, during the early months of Covid as many fled the city, some lofts were taken over by youngsters that had blowout parties multiple times a week, 311, 911, police, precinct, no response ever materialized. Every building needs to enforce quality of life rules, because people are not as civil as one would expect, rich or not. — R. on In the News: Keeping the sidewalk clear is law
Bicyclists don't pay for parking, to register their "vehicle", get insurance for it, get it inspected, don't obey traffic laws, go in and out of traffic, even while people are crossing the street with the light. So why are they getting so many lanes in every borough devoted to them? It's gotten out of hand and must stop! The head of DOT needs to go and never should have been appointed. — Sherri Rosen on In the News: Bouley’s townhouse for sale
Clearly, we need more tennis courts downtown. Anyone on the CB1? Lots of space next to Seaport/Tin Building that can be utilized for courts. Someone please make it happen! — Kat on No reservations needed for Washington Market Park tennis
Seems like a key difference between One Wall and the Tribeca stores is the upstairs seating. Is that true? — Manhattanmommie on Whole Foods Market One Wall Street to open on Jan. 11
I have mixed feelings about affordable housing within luxury buildings. I know there are affordable units in my building. I remember we had two tenants who were complete NIGHTMARES! One had all types of folks coming in and out of their unit, loud music and weed. Come to find out the woman who the lease was under allowed her children to stay there and they just were bring all types of riff raffs. They started to steal packages, peeing in the stairwell and oh lord scratching up the elevators. The other tenants was caught stealing peoples belongings from the laundry room. If I am paying premium price for apartments I feel I shouldn't have to live in those conditions. Sorry not sorry and don't come at me for having an opionion. — Sandra on In the News: Keeping the sidewalk clear is law
The owners are lovely, but they need to keep an eye on their staff who are not great based on my experience tonight. I will not got back b/c of them. — Local resident who loves the owners on Sneak Peek: Boss Tweed

Since I am on the WMP board, I know the staff has been harassed regularly, over a couple decades, because of that sign-up sheet. And it is difficult for them to argue with players who have a thousand reasons why they don't have their card, or why they have to sign up their friend, etc etc. I don't blame them for not wanting to deal with that. — Tribeca Citizen on No reservations needed for Washington Market Park tennis
The city needs affordable housing, not multi-million dollar apartments. You will all be screaming bloody murder if they try and put affordable housing into your cherished "gated" community. — MB on In the News: Keeping the sidewalk clear is law
Where can I read more about it? I’ve tried googling, searching on instagram, can only find the art, not the story. — Zina on Who and Where in Tribeca?
