Most of you need to get a life! In midst of Covid & more, you're worried about parking spaces, trees and either you weren't here on 9/11 or have a very convenient memor. Altho most running upstairs were firemen, it certainly applies to police too. The villains are not the vast majority of NYPD. Every barrel has a few bad apples. As for NYPDo Nothings: do you think that it's gift of the gods that 1st Precinct has 'the lowest crime rate in the city'? Do you think that 1st Precinct has control over the other precincts' ploicies & actions? Maybe you think that your sh*t doesn't stink either? This is inconvenient, but not life & death: THAT'S COVID! Get a grip on what's worth complaining about (see: BLOOD MANOR). — Ben on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the NYPD have West Broadway closed?

Does anyone have any idea when they train/play on the fields? ie at a set time every week? — SoccerFam on Soccer Made in Tribeca: New Amsterdam FC

The court date for Upper West and FIDI is 11/16. If we don't get this group we are getting another group we know nothing about. These people just aren't homeless, They are people who have serious mental illness and drug abuse some even sex offenders. Blame your corrupt Mayor who is making sneaky deals with hotels all over this city with little regard for the communities.. We have enough homeless housed in FIDI. These men uptown have vandalized the property of the lawyer representing the Upper Westside. Some are even criminals. No i don't want them living downtown and terrorizing the community and our families. They have uptown. — New York on Men will move to homeless shelter at Radisson

Exactly! They forget it all! Wait until they really need them. We are all seeing the change since they defunded them! — Robin on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the NYPD have West Broadway closed?

there are indeed plenty of homeless downtown. but this rapid move reeks more of secret cronyism business deals to put cash in the pockets of the property owner rather than a well thought out plan by the city for both the well being of the homeless and locals. — nyc on Men will move to homeless shelter at Radisson

Easy to be liberal until the problem arrives in our back yard. We need to get past fear and complaint and think about positive solutions -- ways to make life better for people without homes. Classes, jobs (maintaining the shelter, e.g.) daycare clinics there could be structured activities and educational and cultural opportunities -- a board of directors formed that includes members from the shelters -- fundraising etc a way to make people living in the shelters invested in their Radisson community or wherever the shelter is... — Martha on Men will move to homeless shelter at Radisson

all of you haters need to chill out. how about you try to do their jobs. my guess is that you lack the courage and grit to do so. let's not forget - when 9-11 happened, their brothers and sisters were running up the stairs trying save people. some people have confused heroes and villains... — Batman on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the NYPD have West Broadway closed?

Welcome New Amsterdam FC! Saw you guys practicing on the BPC fields. Excited to see a new team forming in NYC! Best wishes!!!! — Theresa C on Soccer Made in Tribeca: New Amsterdam FC

It is a nice addition to the field, welcome. I have seen them training and wondered who they were, thanks. — mbcg on Soccer Made in Tribeca: New Amsterdam FC

Wow! NYSoccerGuy - so disappointed to see your response. Either change your moniker or migrate your attitude to gratitude. (the latter is preferred) Welcome New Amsterdam FC! Glad you are in the hood! — Heather on Soccer Made in Tribeca: New Amsterdam FC

There is no reason IMHO to keep this (and other st) closed, except its a very convenient parking lot for them. We the people get fines and our cars towed, but they not only close streets for their convenience, but also still park wherever they want using their friend and family placards. My question is, where is City Council on all this? why are the council members not fighting it? I for one will make sure to ask those questions to whoever runs for office, we have had enough of this type of abuse. They dont own the city, we pay taxes and demand accountability. This one generates more traffic and even alters Public Buses, since the lane they decided to close actually has a bus stop. I get it when things were bad and they were protests daily, but its been months from that and now it is not necessary . — Richard on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the NYPD have West Broadway closed?

Heightened parking security. That’s the only reason. NYPD can only close streets off like this on a temporary basis, but a longer term closure has to be be approved by DOT which this and all the new NYPD “parking lots” have not been. So technically this is illegal. And you wonder why people want to defund them. BS like this. — Cd on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the NYPD have West Broadway closed?

It’s obvious the police just want a private parking lot for themselves. But since it’s now obvious what a poor use of space this section of West Broadway is as parking/street, why not turn it into a plaza a la Bogardus Plaza? And so it doesn’t end up taking the City 12 years and half a billion dollars, I would suggest rezoning the little shanty triangle on 6th and Canal in exchange for that developer taking charge of the plaza. — FIDI Guy on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the NYPD have West Broadway closed?

Thanks for highlighting the NYPD land grab and their generic response. In regards to Yoya's park - these are beautiful Linden Trees that are unbelievably fragrant when they blossom (sometime in June usually). One of them needs serious propping up as it is leaning heavily to one side. It is usually filled with trash. Please do check into why the Parks Department, which overseas the Greenstreets Pocket Parks, is neglecting these lovely old trees. — Heide Fasnacht on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the NYPD have West Broadway closed?

I was through there today, and there was a large group of cops with no masks on. I pointed it out and did not receive a friendly response. — Mary Amsterdam on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the NYPD have West Broadway closed?

It’s a parking lot for their personal cars.. You see them all getting out to get geared up. Same as erikson place and the surrounds.. — Simon on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the NYPD have West Broadway closed?

Hey what's with not posting my comments about how I'm glad the NIMBYs lost? Ok then what's your solution to housing these homeless men? Remember you're calling for them to live in someone else's neighborhood and they're not lepers you can or should cast out. All you people who don't want these homeless people down here what are your ideas, solutions, etc? Let's read 'em. — NIMBY Pimby on Men will move to homeless shelter at Radisson

Heightened level of security...in the precinct with the lowest crime rate in the city. Oh please. By their logic why aren't streets in Harlem, East New York, Mott Haven, Stapleton, and Jackson Heights i.e. the most dangerous neighborhoods in their respective boroughs closed left and right? How will closing this sliver of West Broadway (and Ericsson Place) make the neighborhood safer? They just decided they want their own private parking lots for cops only. And it's no coincidence that these two private parking lots are just two blocks apart. They like hanging out at the barricades - much easier than hanging out at Chambers & Church or Greenwich or on Franklin where the holdups take place. Btw they are lying for the simple fact that they let bicyclists ride through this closed section of WB without checking them. These closures have created more traffic congestion on Hudson, Canal, and Avenue Of The Americas. As the first person to bring up this closure (not The closure of Ericsson) I call BS. — NYPDo Nothings on Nosy Neighbor: Why does the NYPD have West Broadway closed?

Well here we are a year later. I guess it’s never coming back sadly. What a shame to have an empty fountain out front now. — Anthony on Nosy Neighbor: What’s happening with the Jeff Koons sculpture at 7 WTC?

i wish there was a way to reply to posters more clearly on here.. sometimes you reply to the first person to comment but youll be listed under someone else replying to the first poster and it looks like youre commenting on the commenter.. thus making people on the same side look like theyre arguing with each other we need to keep our virtual bitchfests organized :) — nyc on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds

*yawn* Another vanity project from a bored millennial with money to burn. They'll either fold up shop or move to an amateur league in two years. — NYSoccerGuy on Soccer Made in Tribeca: New Amsterdam FC

Seems like a great step in the right direction. — Marcus on Plastic bags be gone

seeing some of the comments makes me sick, you have no human decency or regard for your fellow human suffering. just sitting on your rich and privileged asses complaining.... if you are so bothered by homelessness, how about you try to do something instead of trying to push it all on the government. weirdos, get a life instead of shitting on people less fortunate than you — tired of y’all on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi

It's been a total nightmare on Broadway near Leonard and Franklin over the previous weekends. How is Blood Manor legally allowed to have hoards of people blocking the entire street?! How are they allowed to put up large metal barricades on the street, especially in front of OTHER BUILDINGS?! They only have a tiny store frontage on Broadway, yet they managed to take up entire blocks. Besides the people in line, there are also tons of people hovering (and doing god knows what) near the barricades. The staff, in full creepy costumes, also heckle innocent passerbys and children. — J on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds

I could not respond to your latest post directly, unfortunately. But something tells me this exercise is futile. Your first line complains about ageism, and the rest of your post is an exercise in it. Millennials are a huge group of diverse people with diverse thoughts and beliefs. (Like every generation.) You mention super spreader events, but make no mention of Sturgis, White House nomination events, and other large gatherings of older people who don't take this seriously. Again, I am not blaming older people! Because I don't engage in reductive, simplistic thinking. I'm barely a Millennial, but I interact with many, and I am very comfortable with how I and those close to me have behaved in this pandemic. You'll notice I made no ad hominem attacks around a large swath of people based solely on their age. Judge the revelers at Blood Manor or 46L all you want ... I'll be right there with you! Just do it for the right reasons. Anyway, Millennials will hopefully be the generation responsible for evacuating Trump from office. Perhaps props are due then. — malcolm on Blood Manor draws big, often maskless, crowds
