I think he is the only one that don't want to defund. He has my vote. Praying he wins. Can't live in a deteriorating city next couple of years. The other candidates don't care about crime. — NATIVE on Teens robbed at gunpoint in Battery Park City

"forget it, jake. it's chinatown." — josh on The Candidates 2021: Susan Damplo for CD1

What a load of incoherent horses**t! — SW on The Candidates 2021: Susan Damplo for CD1

Excellent ideas, James! Let's start a petition for that. — Marcus on The Candidates 2021: Susan Damplo for CD1

Just say no. What on earth are "crimes of economic opportunity"? Is that like price-gouging isopropyl alcohol during a pandemic? No mention of congestion pricing at all. And the measures proposed for dealing with dangerous traffic are to ban e-bikes and educate bicyclists. What about dealing with the main source of pedestrian injuries and fatalities (not to mention noise, congestion, and pollution): motor vehicles? Seems to me we need things like: congestion pricing, speed bumps, enforcement of speed and reckless driving laws, enforcement against distracted driving, etc. — Marcus on The Candidates 2021: Susan Damplo for CD1

Eric Adams was endorsed by The Post. — Bobbie on Teens robbed at gunpoint in Battery Park City

Congratulations Srini and partners for launching this informative series! — JS Miller on Made in Tribeca: Startover

She is not in this world. LOL She don't want Law & Order or safer streets. She is for criminals not communities. No vote here — Native on The Candidates 2021: Susan Damplo for CD1

We are living in fear. Its constant. If we don't get a Mayor for safer streets we are done. So terrible what a safe downtown we had. Nothing and no time is safe anymore in the city!! — Native on Teens robbed at gunpoint in Battery Park City

Smart concept, Membership so cool. — perry Rothenberg on New Kid on the Block: Glosslab

She got the endorsement of the PBA. The same union that endorsed Trump....I wonder what she had to commit to for that nod. I want clean and safe streets as much as the next person, but having the PBA support is extremely concerning. — Rose on The Candidates 2021: Maud Maron for CD1

Thank you. A modest proposal for our neighboring Village constituents: replace Washington Square Park with this proposed new jail, instead of putting it in Chinatown. It had previously been a Potter's Field and site of a gallows. Then, by adaptive reuse, convert back the nearby Jefferson Market Courthouse library into a criminal courthouse, for convenient access to the new jail. No one needs to provide green space for transient NYU students anyhow. — james on The Candidates 2021: Susan Damplo for CD1

Pitch deck, slide 1: The WeWork of Entertaining — alee on Members-only social club coming to China Blue corner

Thanks for all the updates and happenings Pam. It is most appreciated. — TG on Seen & Heard: Go Cards!

Welcome - the waterless pedi sounds intriguing. — TG on New Kid on the Block: Glosslab

Thanks for heads up on Whitney community day free admissions for Sunday- just booked tickets! Very appreciated. — Julie on Seen & Heard: Whitney Community Day on Sunday

Kinda like what used to be Soho House but is different. Love your bottle of gin proof of inclusion comparison. Noting multiple new businesses are members only cropping up. — j. on Members-only social club coming to China Blue corner

I read through all of these this morning, thank you for doing this! I have to go with Maud on this one. She's the candidate most in line with the issues I care about. It may be the unpopular thing to say but a clean, safe, jail-free, shelter-free neighborhood is a priority for me. "People will relocate before being overtaxed and underserved. NYC needs to attract and retain its taxpayers, not take them for granted." Yes! — k on The Candidates 2021: Maud Maron for CD1

I don't -- they don't offer any way to contact them other than calling the restaurant, which is never a reliable option. — Tribeca Citizen on Seen & Heard: Go Cards!

No thanks. Seems far too car-centric. "Studying feasibility" of bike lanes is no commitment to build them. Supporting "expanding pedestrian-only zones in principle" while pushing them through a gauntlet of bureaucracy is not real support. It's also nearly impossible to understand the mindset that leads one to the position that "crimes of economic opportunity" (what a charming way to describe robbery or theft), graffiti, and public urination (happens *everywhere*) will fix themselves, but that we really need to clamp down on cyclists and e-bikes/scooters even though they're environmentally friendly, safe, quick, and space-efficient ways to get around the city. (Note: I don't use any of these things, but they're obviously extremely useful means of transportation.) The position on historic districts is equally confusing. Supporting something—but with loopholes—is not support. — person on The Candidates 2021: Susan Damplo for CD1

PJ Clarkes seems to have a strange schedule. They're not always open, even during dinner time. Any more info on that, Pam? — LP on Seen & Heard: Go Cards!

Take these liberals to where they want to go. — Bobbie on The Candidates 2021: Susan Damplo for CD1

Putting the jail here is a "moral imperative"?? Lost me especially with the claim that "There is relatively little residential housing in the immediate area." — Marcus on The Candidates 2021: Susan Damplo for CD1

Of course! but the district has an irregular northern boundary and includes the Village. In fact you might recall that Alan Gerson was the councilmember before Margaret Chin -- a longtime Village resident. CD1 includes the neighborhoods of Battery Park City, Civic Center, Chinatown, Financial District, Little Italy, the Lower East Side, NoHo, SoHo, South Street Seaport, South Village, Tribeca & Washington Square, and goes as far north as 8th Street, on the north side of Washington Square Park. See the map here. — Tribeca Citizen on The Candidates 2021: Susan Damplo for CD1

The Village is north of CD1, right? What's this candidate's connection to our district? Doesn't one need to reside in the district, per the Public Officers Law? — James on The Candidates 2021: Susan Damplo for CD1
