Must you people politicize everything? — JimboInBigD on Nosy Neighbor: Who is the man who lives full time on Reade Street?

Speaking of museum, anyone have any idea about this nyc moca window display at 79 walker street? It claims that New York City museum of contemporary art is building a few blocks away in Tribeca. There is a rendering of a glass building sandwiched between two cast iron buildings. Anyone know where it is and what exact is this nyc moca https://www.nycmoca.com/ — sean on The Tin Building is closing to become…Balloon Museum

The entire area near the Tin Building is full of Mice and Rats. I sat in a Restaurant outside and watched. The Tin Room Building is so expensive anyway. Replacing it with another High priced Venue that few will attend is a Great idea???? Right! Why not run a shuttle bus from the subway??? — Sarina on The Tin Building is closing to become…Balloon Museum

he should at the very least be given accommodations like illegals who came in via Biden Admin have been given, (William and Wall Migrant hotel and cash cards) or, is it that if he didn't come via the cartels with Biden Admin he doesn't qualify ? It may sound like I'm being facetious but I'm not. — SF on Nosy Neighbor: Who is the man who lives full time on Reade Street?

Ah, yes,... a balloon museum! Such a benefit to the community that will be! Why didn't anyone think of it sooner? I can see the money rolling right in from that. Stand back, everyone. — Alex in NYC on The Tin Building is closing to become…Balloon Museum

Great shots. And a huge "Thank You" to all the City workers who kept the streets open, buses and trains running, and handled emergencies. — G on Blizzard takes Tribeca

Agree with Malcolm. In fact, the entire FDR should replicate the Westside - stop lights, crosswalks, etc. and make the waterfront accessible to the kids and families of the Eastside. — G on The Tin Building is closing to become…Balloon Museum

Bingo... exactly how I feel.. can we stop romanticizing this situation? this is not ok.. the city has systems in place to deal with this.. maybe he is a great person, but it still doesn't make it ok to be living in the street. — Richard on Nosy Neighbor: Who is the man who lives full time on Reade Street?

Keep it classy FiDi… — Bored in lower Manhattan on The Tin Building is closing to become…Balloon Museum

Wonderful, thank you! — LarisaNog on Progress at H Mart?

I don't frequent this area much, so I can't speak to this particular man. It's just so heart breaking that many of the homeless refuse assistance. The mayor, DHS is offering so many options to get out of the cold. Camping is not a human right. Why would you turn down housing? What more as a society can we do? I have tried with a number of homeless individuals to get them help and it hurts (my ego?) that I can't solve the problem. — Jennifer R. on Nosy Neighbor: Who is the man who lives full time on Reade Street?

It would have failed anyway; it's just too isolated to make the economics work. But it didn't help having the FDR viaduct right there. At the very least, the section south of Brooklyn Bridge should be taken down and the streetscape upgraded. — malcolm on The Tin Building is closing to become…Balloon Museum

Lol - it essentially becomes the digital equivalent of the wax museum. There's only one concept that will ever work in that location (or for all of Pier 17): Chelsea Piers South. — J Frank P on The Tin Building is closing to become…Balloon Museum

But in all seriousness, why is this ok?? There are plenty of shelters in nyc, and clearly he has family. Why does he have to set up camp on a public sidewalk? This makes the street look terrible. I live on Reade St and know that this has caused resale issues for nearby condos. He steals electricity from the building, which means someone is paying for that, and given the garbage around him also creates a rat hazard. Maybe instead of CB1 complaining about sidewalk dining they should be concerned about sidewalk camping. — Matt on Nosy Neighbor: Who is the man who lives full time on Reade Street?

Yes! It ran around southern Battery Park City too, if it is the same occurrence. They finally trapped it on a restaurant patio. — Elizabeth on Coyote tries to lace up at the Brookfield Place skating rink

Same with "Odin" on Warren (always having deep chats and grunts mid-sentence). He is almost always out there in the worst weather. I've offered food, blankets, etc., but he usually refuses. (However, he does like coffee, and I gave him a long coat a few years ago which he gladly accepted and I still see him wearing, although it's way too small for him). So much more to say about helping all of the un-housed in this city, beyond our little bubble. Nonetheless, I wish these stalwarts would retreat to the warming centers for the extreme cold weather. — K on Nosy Neighbor: Who is the man who lives full time on Reade Street?

He’s been in the neighborhood for at least 16years and moved around. He used to walk around a lot more, but has declined in health and acquired a walker in recent years. My friend offers him food all the time and he doesn’t accept. I have heard people offering him shelter and he refuses. My son just ran over to check if he survived this storm and came home to say, “he’s still alive.” Every storm, we wonder about Johannes. — JC on Nosy Neighbor: Who is the man who lives full time on Reade Street?

Just heard that it's closed down, lost too much money. All staff have been told they no longer have jobs — Bob on Trouble at the Tin Building?

I have asked the state DEC... — Tribeca Citizen on Coyote tries to lace up at the Brookfield Place skating rink

Hmmmm….do they like rats? — SW on Coyote tries to lace up at the Brookfield Place skating rink

We actually refer to him as an urban camper, given how well-outfitted he seems to be. Very nice guy -- I always say hello and wave/nod to him, and he does the same. I've offered to get him help in the past and he assured me he's connected with the church, etc., and has what he needs. Many years ago on a cold night I went down there to give him some of the chili we had made. He asked me if it was vegan. (It wasn't). — The Noisy Cat on Nosy Neighbor: Who is the man who lives full time on Reade Street?

Owners and developers can do as they please. But why is the new thing so often an ugly thing? — David on 80 West Broadway has been sold

I hope all is well, the coyote needed help, not “relocation.” A metaphor for our times. — Emily on Coyote tries to lace up at the Brookfield Place skating rink

I asked the cops where the coyote would end up. the regular cops had no idea. the animal control cops were busy getting the coyote in the crate and weren't talking. But, I have to assume it is checked out (one cop said rabies is a concern) and then released in an appropriate place. — .c c on Coyote tries to lace up at the Brookfield Place skating rink

Thank you for asking the question. My thoughts exactly. — R. on Coyote tries to lace up at the Brookfield Place skating rink
