I will post two comments from other blogs because they speak of a couple of things that is destroying people.
This was posted on the TA Facebook, from Julia Alberino: "I took an M14D from 6th Avenue to 1st Avenue last night around 5:45. By the new University Place stop the bus was so full that the driver proposed going express, but that didn't work since riders were getting off at each stop. The bus was so very full that nerves frayed and two passengers nearly came to blow and were shouting at each other for blocks. In addition, because the bus was so crowded, folks were entering by the center and back doors, not paying the fare. to give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe some were eventually able to make their way to the farebox before they got off, but I didn't see that happening. We definitely need more buses NOW in the morning and evening rush hours, and at the 3:00 PM time when school gets out. Does the MTA even care about the actual riders and drivers of the dangerously overcrowded buses?"
And this was posted by Edmund John Dunn on the other Stuy Town Facebook. Though the post is not about Stuy Town, the park "project" will affect us. Besides, during nice weather, I go into the park and have felt it was a very positive boon to residents (yes, mostly, lower class) who live there and enjoy the park with weekend sports and barbecues:
"The question is not that
something has to be done but what plan should be done. The plan that was
carefully thought out over 4 years with major community input? Or this CF plan
whereby the MO is we have to destroy the park to save it. And now throw in the
clock is ticking for the Sandy Federal funds as well. The EV Grieve blog has a
great thread on this issue. As always, follow the money. Funny, the destroy the
park to save it plan is not being used on the West side which also had a major
Sandy impact. On the East side, low income housing projects (NYCHA) face the
river. On the West side, massive lux development has already taken place. As
always, follow the money. REBNY say what? And also, enough with this 25,000
Amazon job number. It was once 40,000 jobs. Where does this figure come from?
Out of Bezos’s butt?"
There are a lot of other things destroying people. And the "opposition" is ramming on.
