Righto! — Tribeca Citizen on Where in (not really) Tribeca?

Actually there are 3 of them on the flag poles outside the Oyster House on Pier A in the Battery/ Bowling Park, regards, Sonia Stock — SONIA STOCK on Where in (not really) Tribeca?

This is on a lamp post in Bowling Green Park, regards, Sonia Stock — SONIA STOCK on Where in (not really) Tribeca?

This is amazing, really. TriBeca citizen writes an informative article about a nice day trip from the City and you get subtle and not-so-subtle messaging to the effect of "we don't want you biking out here." "Keep out, you mongol hordes!" Good grief, people. These people commenting here are likely the same ones that march in BLM for inclusiveness no doubt. Be inclusive, love everyone, but please, PLEASE stay away from my country refuge! And stay away from my private school, but I'll tell you to integrate the schools. Awful. Quotes... "Truth be told the reason is to discourage day trippers..." "Offenders for any of the above may be given summons." "Bike east of that and frankly nobody wants you in their town. Since locals don’t wear helmets we can spot a visitor a mile away!" — Jon on Field Trip: Bike into Fire Island

This is wonderful news and I will be sure to check them out. Welcome. — TG on New Kid on the Block: Above Pigment

I wish them much good luck in the former Best Market space. I do miss Best Market SO much though. Their tuna steaks at $9.99 a pound were just delish. Ah, oh well. We must move on. — TG on Cocoon is moving forward in Best Market space

I agree with Liz - I am also a new resident to Wall Street who just signed a 12-month lease on an apartment right across from the Radisson. I am also a young, single female and I am back to work at my office daily, which means I travel early morning and late evening by foot to and from work. I am deeply concerned about this given the issues in UWS. I have multiple friends on the UWS who have had witnessed or been the receiving end of violent events caused specifically by the rowdy homeless population housed at the Lucerne. If we face any similar issues, it will critically impact my day-to-day. In regards to your ignorant response, why do we only need statistics on murder in order to deem the proposition as "unsafe" for the taxpayers living in the area? Non-murderous violent events also make it unsafe for anyone - men, women, children alike. These include physical and verbal harassment, among many other nameless undeserving offenses to the peaceable public, not uncommon to current UWS residents. I deeply oppose the motion to move the homeless to the Radisson. I really hope our community can come together to block this. — Jenn on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi

Was on the community board meeting yesterday. They would not even tell us about the men and how many mentally ill there are. As a community we have rights to know. We live work in this area. They didn't even have plans. Go on YouTube and watch it. They just seen the property on Monday. Throwing these men here around numerous schools and our community is out right wrong. These poor men had jobs uptown and everything. The city is losing over $200,000 on the move. This is being done because of the lawsuit. Lots of corruption involved. — lower manhattan on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi

Seen it happen, also seen people defecating in the street twice, called 911 twice on mentally deranged men. It has happened, and will only get worse. I know exactly who he is talking about in from of Morgans- witnessed this first hand- so the only liar is you. — Nikos on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi

We do have compassion, however the area has been overrun with homeless and crime for years, COIVD helped it explode, Putting them literally on wall street surrounded by residents who pay their taxes, and spent their $ on real estate down here. There is NOWHERE for these people to go in the area, the public spaces are VERY LIMITED - they have no plan, so you are releasing 250 homeless men on the streets with nowhere to go, nothing to do. This is yet another poorly planned band aid to a huge problem. We already have 35 units at the Holiday in on Nassau and Maiden lane. Fulton street is a complete and utter nightmare- The city has never been able to run a shelter safely, they stay on the streets because the shelters are crime ridden, and disgusting. And you think this is going to be any different? Just look at who has been in charge all these month down there, minimum wage security clerks and KIDS with plastic shower caps and mask at the front door. — Nikos on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi

Let’s not leave out the men at the Lucerne have adjusted. Private money has been donated (a lot) and they have jobs contributing to the community as well as a sense of purpose. And now what - move them into a hotel that is falling apart and all the good stays behind. The $$ snd jobs do not transfer. How will people ever be rehabilitated ? — Fidifan on CB1 will host meeting on homeless shelter TODAY

No incidents in or right outside Morgan's Market or it'd have been reported here. Get a life. — Liar on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi

This isn't just your neighborhood. So what you're a single female? What does that mean? Kid friendly neighborhood since when? You don't have kids. NIMBY at it's worst. Btw name me ONE murder committed within say ten blocks of a homeless shelter by a resident of it? I'll wait. — So move who are you? on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi

It’s midnight on Thursday/Friday, and the party just started up again. I called the police, but they said that despite getting several calls tonight, they can’t prioritize this. I don’t claim to be nearly cool enough to know what constitutes a “rave”, but I can say that over the past few weeks there has been blaring techno music, fireworks, fist fights on the street, glass bottles and cigarette butts thrown from the balcony to the street, and vomit on the sidewalk. There have been people, maskless, and still drunk at 8am arguing with an Uber driver because they don’t have a mask on hand. The pictures completely understate what I have seen and heard. This is so disrespectful, and it’s ridiculous that the police can’t do more. — Another neighbor on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”

I wonder who his lender is. Illegal, unlicensed parties must be breaking some covenant. If I were the lender, I’d want to know about this. — Neighbor on “It feels like being at Burning Man in your living room.”

putting them in Hotels on a temporary basis is not the solution - why doesn't the city put them in permanent shelters which should already be there for homeless people and where there are facilities of medicine and education as well - and this can be outside the city where there is enough space available. am not asking them to be kicked out of the city but just expanding the city and in these permanent shelters their medical requirements plus education is taken care so that they can come back to the city one day. The city officials cannot shrug their responsibility by just putting them in the hotels. — NK on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi

My family listened to it and was heartened by the strong sense of outrage by cb1. This is a joke that they are trying to ram this into our area. Diblasio is incompetent. Where does all the tax revenue go in this crazy city - the roads are messed up, the subway is a mess, homeless are everywhere. Time for new leadership. Yea OK NIMBY - please....... — Scared on CB1 will host meeting on homeless shelter TODAY

I completely agree. The homeless situation is ridiculous in our neighborhood. This shelter needs to be stopped. Are you organizing something specific to stop it? Please let all of us know how we can help I am prepared to donate $ to stop this with lawsuit. — Scared on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi

I do think lowrider makes a point that a self-described progressive like diBlasio has been bad for nyc. That could be just because he is bad or to some extent because progressive politics and culture have gone too far. In either case, the next mayoral candidates run the gamut from somewhat progessive to highly progressive. I am concerned that policies which drive up taxes, cause people to leave the city, which then creates budget problems depressing the quality of life becomes a cycle. I would like to see a centrist candidate with a business friendly mindset a la bloomberg take control. The current situation is very serious. — Scared on Frenchette will revive a bakery in the Arcade space

Please show some compassion. Where do you expect these homeless people to be sheltered? In poor neighborhoods or neighborhoods of color? At least make an attempt at concealing your privilege. I am a long time FiDi resident and I support a constructive solution to this problem that includes the community as long as the community is not hostile and only looks for its interest only instead of the community at large. I am not for kicking the problem to some other neighborhood to solve. — FiDi Resident on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi

Amy, Just because you transplanted here does not mean you are a New Yorker. You have no idea of the reasoning behind this, do you think the city gov is that stupid? They know that placing homeless men (with mental illnesses, drug addictions, and violent felonies) in the most expensive parts of the city is counterintuitive, the only affordable meal is halal carts and even that costs 25-40% more than other boroughs. Unlike you, real New Yorkers don't have another home state they can return to after you screw up this place. We are not in Cali, ok? These decisions are NOT for the benefit of the homeless, it is Cuomo and Deblasio's way of saying F U to certain people. They did this exact same thing on 58th st. Literally picked the most expensive parts of the city, Central Park south and now wall st. Tell me how this is for the benefit of the homeless, you have to be so simple minded to accept their premise as is. Ask yourself, why is it ALWAYS mens only shelters and not women/children shelters? Especially now when they have a police stand down order, and even if the police respond, and if they make an arrest, the city prosecutors all have orders to drop charges for rioters, looters, and other violent acts as everyone is a "protestor" now. — Gene on Neighbors prepare to fight the expansion of a homeless shelter in Fidi

Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. There are many ways to embrace vegan living. — Beth on New Kid on the Block: Above Pigment
