  • I've gone 3 separate times now to try to see this exhibit, and City Hall Park has been "closed to the public" every time. On Sat morning there was some event going on, it looked like maybe a graduation ceremony or something. But the other two times last week, the park was completely empty and still shut.

  • The NYC developer mindset is to get their building done and the apartments rented or sold as soon as possible, whatever the impact on others. These narcissists let liability insurance take care of any damages and litigation later. Department of Buildings enforces safety regulations with little regard to preservation of adjacent structures, paying lip service until disaster hits. Landmarks Preservation Commission does nothing for the fragile aged buildings under its purview, deferring to DOB's inaction. For bureaucracies, "do nothing" is less risky for the individual bureaucrat (and his/her job/pension) than "do something". The hopeful anticipation of a lucrative job in private industry is apparently often foremost in the minds of bureaucrats. — James on In the News: Ballfield terrace repair now at $8 mill

  • This construction is an example of egregious violations of rules and our rights as neighborhood residents. For months it created vibrations that shook the entire bedrock and all surrounding buildings like ours. My computer monitor would sway on high floors and the constant pounding give me headaches at the end of the day. And this has continued day after day for many months even after numerous complaints to 311. Our building residents emailed each other helplessly thinking about what we could do to stop this dangerous work. It took two damaged buildings and damage to the city sewers to finally stop it temporarily. The red adjoining building on franklin is seriously cracked and the windows are propped up. When will our city regulators and construction folks care about us, the residents, and not just think about their own pockets! — shampab on In the News: Ballfield terrace repair now at $8 mill

  • Gigi wholeheartedly supported the Chinatown Jail construction when it was undergoing the approval process and her boss Margaret Chin voted in favor of it. She supported Bail Reform which lead to skyrocketing crime city wide. She has offuscated her role in this by stating she wants to look at 'root causes' of crime and now is equivocating on the jail. On education she avoids answering directly if she supports maintaining SHSAT. During the debate she forcefully stood up for protecting small property owners, yet in this inteview mere weeks before, she advocates for more rent stabilization... the opposite. Her principals are ruled by expedience and who her audience is. — Richard Parker on The Candidates 2021: Gigi Li for CD1
