"an inclusionary housing requirement [...] that requires a certain number of units in new developments be set aside for supportive housing" Why would you not spend (or have developers spend) the same money elsewhere in the City and be able to build more units where land costs less than in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the world? It's not a NIMBY thing, but rather simply trying to maximize the number of such units that get built. — James on Seen & Heard: Groundhog Day at Duane Park

I am on the board of a supportive housing developer, which is the type of housing best suited for homeless. I can tell you that the solutions need to be large and institutional. I feel for all the folks I see in our neighborhood who have no home at night / or the day for that matter. Your suggestion is a good one but better taken in the form of an inclusionary housing requirement which I believe the city is considering that requires a certain number of units in new developments be set aside for supportive housing (while I live here my work has been in San Francisco, nonetheless same issue different location). One off housing without services does not take into account that there are a variety of reasons that someone is homeless and thus there is not really one solution in providing a home. Yes a home is the single most important thing we can do. But we need the assessment and services that go with supportive housing to address indiv needs of each person coming out of a homeless situation. They all got there for a variety of reasons and that affects how you help them get back on their feet. A rule of thumb where new housing contributes to the development of supportive housing units is the better way to go. — Patrick C Valentino on Seen & Heard: Groundhog Day at Duane Park

I sort of agree, although I might not have used as harsh a tone since it was someone trying to open a small business that failed. That said, for some reason, I felt more uncomfortable walking by this place with my little boys than I do walking by Flashdancers. — lowphat on Razzledazzle Barbershop has closed

How 'bout one of these building owners who rake in millions upon millions of dollars in sales and rentals monthly build just ONE micro-apartment with window, closet, etc. and house a person like Clarisse/Clarissa in it temporarily? Would it kill an owner to devote just say 150 square feet to someone like this? Could one realtor step up and ask for this? Of course health and social professionals would have to be involved. I'm not saying it's as simple as create a place and give someone a home, I'm just saying where is the charity in this neighborhood from people who could make a life-changing difference? — pick up the fallen on Seen & Heard: Groundhog Day at Duane Park

Good riddance. This is NYC 2000-2020 folks. Idiots like this who open a business and say "I did it" when it fails miserably. Yeah you did it - you sucked and weren't as good as the longtime neighborhood barbers who take their craft seriously unlike you. You cheapened their trade. You were too busy selling a gimmick and objectifying womens' bodies. This isn't Miami. Enough with people who move here (or in her case move back here), pay through the nose so they can say they were here, and drive up rents for everyone who actually wants to make a life and living here. GO AWAY. — make a life here or get lost on Razzledazzle Barbershop has closed

Odd fit but it was on church Street, and that particular block is kinda old 80s NYC in part. So it fit , not fit.... Anyway sorry it empty, active street retail is critical — Patrick C Valentino on Razzledazzle Barbershop has closed

Was a very odd fit for the neighborhood, but always sad to see a local business falter. Should have done something more in the Times Square / Penn Station area in my opinion. — DB on Razzledazzle Barbershop has closed

That's a tragic loss not just to the Chinese American community, but as part of the whole history of immigration in America as well. — Robert Ripps on The building — and the history — destroyed at 70 Mulberry

We enjoyed the Ecco on our first trip to NY. We enjoyed our first dinner there on our 25th anniversary many years ago. We have gone back regularly for almost 20 years. Very sad... We would call for reservations and tell then it was big Paul from Minnesota and we were remember over the years. I would like to know if they reopen in Tribeca.

I always appreciated the Tribeca Trib but more importantly i love seeing Carl and April in the neighborhood and consider them to be old friends because of the Trib. It is true that everything is local. Thanks so much there for so long April and Carl.

Thankfully no one died and hopefully the one seriously injured person will survive. This fire is suspicious to me, sorry. Of all the buildings for a fire to happen in it happens in one which houses social services for the neighborhood and is in a prime real estate location. — C on Three alarm fire last night in Chinatown

1 WTC is over 80% full. 3 WTC is 82% fully. 4 WTC and 7 WTC are about 100% full.
