Thank you for subsidizing my rent and keeping the lights on, guys!

I didn't post the comment regarding the property being drearier and deader than ever but it's 100% accurate. Winter notwithstanding, there is no reason (other than the obvious one of it being a defaulted and neglected property) for it to look like this.

No one else appears to think it's an issue though. Many are arguing to maintain the greenmarket, but no one seems to mind that the area where the food is sold is literally a fecal dump. Just sit on one of the benches opposite for no more than 15 minutes and see for yourself if you don't believe it. For the record, I like the greenmarket and would like it to stay if the obvious health hazard could be addressed. Until then, I'll be going to Union Square.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-78850237930298504352012-02-22T08:30:02.206-05:002012-02-22T08:30:02.206-05:00>>Can our gardner bring the fence forward wh...>>Can our gardner bring the fence forward where it used to be ?

Correct me if I am wrong, please.<br /><br />The TA was instrumental in advancing the legal theory behind Roberts that was, ultimately, approved by the Court of Appeals and in getting the Roberts case organized and off the ground and into the legal system. The TA was not a party to the action because it did not have standing, i.e. the TA as an organization did not suffer a legal harm. The brilliance of the lawyering of Alex Schmidt and his associates in obtaining the Court of Appeals decision cannot be overstated.
