  • @matthew I have written policy statements for many corporations and can assure you that this is corporate boilerplate, regardless of the political affiliations of its leadership (which I don't know and don't care about). When they refer to "community sensitive" signage they mean that in Chinatowns around the country there will be some limited signage in Chinese. In Hispanic neighborhoods, same. There may be some Korean signage in some nabes too. Perhaps in Brighton Beach there may be some Russian, but likely not. There are not many major ethnic groups that large corporations officially recognize, but in any case it's not meant to be political, it is meant to positively affect their profitability. With respect, I think your over-politicizing this issue may be a greater problem for society than what you are perceiving as "political correctness". — David G.

  • "My first piece is in Tribeca at 140 Church Street. We bought it in 1997 with a Rite Aid lease. We had FAR [floor area ratio] and four other floors, and we bought it not even thinking we would develop it because Tribeca at the time was not a cool neighborhood. It was kind of industrial. A couple of years later, like two or three, Tribeca started getting cool. And so we partnered up with residential developers [Alchemy Properties], and we wound up building condos, and we sold them. We didn’t do fabulous on them [because] the neighborhood was not doing well at that point. I [still] own the retail condo [9,300 square feet at grade and 7,500 square feet on the lower level] with my partner [Matthew Scherr of Bryce Property & Development Co.]." https://commercialobserver.com/2017/09/charming-relentless-pain-in-the-butt-esther-bukai-knows-retail-and-the-boroughs/ — James on Sleepy’s corner leased for a giant CVS on Church
