If I had a child at Peck Slip School, I would be furious beyond belief. To see the city prioritizing the homeless over children's safety at that school is an utter embarrassment. In fact, everyone attached to this decsion should be embarassed. — William on An update on two Downtown shelters

Wish it the best, but it seems mostly for tik tok tourists. — Cd on Checking in on Meadow Lane, now that the dust has settled

Thanks a lot! — LarisaNog on Progress at H Mart?

Exactly. James is right on here. They created this "hardship" by failing to do their due diligence. Now they want a variance. — G on Warren Street Hotel plans for expansion rejected by CB1

"New York City spent roughly $81,000 per person on homeless services last year [...] according to the report from the state comptroller’s office. The cost per person was roughly equivalent to the city’s median household income as of the 2024 US Census — $81,228 annually." https://nypost.com/2026/03/16/us-news/nyc-spent-roughly-81k-per-person-on-homeless-services-last-year-comptroller/ — James Bogardus on An update on two Downtown shelters

working on it — Tribeca Citizen on Nosy Neighbor: What’s happening at 50 Hudson?

This should be part of Hochul’s newfound pitch to get people back from Florida as she runs out of other peoples money to spend- well put a homeless/illegal immigrant shelter next to your kids school! What an incredibly stupid idea. This city never fails to impress me — Hilarious on An update on two Downtown shelters

The developer irresponsibly and knowingly planned to dig down several stories within a stone's throw of the 1776 coastline. They were warned that this plan would fail. It is moral hazard to reward this kind of action with a variance to build more floors above when this problem was reasonably foreseeable. They should declare bankruptcy and get out. — James Bogardus on Warren Street Hotel plans for expansion rejected by CB1

Any news on this? — A on Nosy Neighbor: What’s happening at 50 Hudson?

It is not open. I last checked in late February and they did not have an update. In January they said they were waiting on city inspections. — Tribeca Citizen on Modern Bread & Bagel coming (hopefully) in December

Yay. More polyester clothes that fall apart in three months and don’t decompose. Can’t wait. — Hmm…. on Uniqlo coming to World Trade Center this fall

My question, too. All looks ready to go - furnished, equipped, lights on. But no staff or customers seen. — Gary on Modern Bread & Bagel coming (hopefully) in December

Even if that S&P 500 return excludes reinvested dividends and management fees, the rate of return on the property will include garage rent (and avoided capital gains tax if they do a 1031 exchange) on the upside, and the eventual sales brokerage, maintenance, property taxes, on the downside etc. Total property taxes paid here for the last 6 fiscal years exceeded the sum of $2 million, with little to no increase between 2021 and 2026. — James Bogardus on 56 North Moore for sale — again

The 2019 "sale" looks like a transfer among related parties, like the 2003 transfer, and not like an arms-length sale to a third party. — James Bogardus on 56 North Moore for sale — again

Math major here letting you know that your accurately calculated 48-y compound annual return of 10.8% on the 2026 sale price vs. 1978 sale price is noticeably superior to the 9.3% compound annual return over the same period in the S&P 500 (https://www.macrotrends.net/2526/sp-500-historical-annual-returns). — Komanoff on 56 North Moore for sale — again

At the prices they are charging, I won’t be contributing to their bottom line. — MBG on Checking in on Meadow Lane, now that the dust has settled

Went to Jay's. Can confirm the pizza, staff, and the space are all on point! — Jon on Seen & Heard: Jay’s Pizza is open

Will they sell childrens clothes at this location? — Lolad on Uniqlo coming to World Trade Center this fall

DHS request is interesting and I appreciate you noting that they made that request. They are just functionaries and don't make the rules but it's telling how they advance the propaganda of their bosses, be it Adams or Mamdani. I think it's very interesting that 320 Pearl St. is essentially the Adams plan yet Mamdani / DHS never mentions it, suggesting that it's quite useful to BLAME the former Mayor for this and that but not to CREDIT him for things they believe he was correct about. Re: Breaking Ground, look up the executive pay figures of this and other "non-profit" homeless services providers-- including over the last 5 or 6 years via Pro Publica Charity NonProfit Explorer. It's pretty eye-popping. — Roderick Shusher on An update on two Downtown shelters

Whats crazy is that's only around 11% annual rate of return over 48 years. — D. on 56 North Moore for sale — again

What happened? — Eric on Modern Bread & Bagel coming (hopefully) in December

Just a note: those benches aren't from the 1980s. The grid metal ones in the park itself are, but the ones on Greenwich Street are no older than ~1997, after (as you mentioned) the Greening of Greenwich. You'd think IPN/Stellar would just get it removed, as it's certainly an eyesore for the new atmosphere they're trying to cultivate (my eyes are rolling as I type that, FYI!) — Elizabeth on Seen & Heard: Lightning on One World Trade

Duh, yes, thanks. — Tribeca Citizen on Checking in on Meadow Lane, now that the dust has settled

The lightning strike video is very cool. ALMOST as cool as the one you posted from the thunder snow. — The Noisy Cat on Seen & Heard: Lightning on One World Trade

"The slow days, he said, bring in around $16-18 million; a good weekend day is more like $50 million." <--- typo? I think you probably meant $16-18 thousand / $50 thousand here? — harryh on Checking in on Meadow Lane, now that the dust has settled
