We all suffered the tsunami of community crushing development by Mike Bloomberg and his administration that city wide "made over" the city -- so hideous ugly -- the city is unrecognizable and soulless with mass evictions of entire neighborhoods to the death of small mom and pop businesses.
We had way too many deaths and injuries from construction and infrastructure accidents and more is too come because Mike believes there is one way only to stimulate the economy and that is too push a reckless tsunami of community crushing development.
Based on my experience yesterday in the subway -- the MTA emergency call was ineffective - was that because of how their call was handled or was it...? I don't know what is happening below ground and above but I worry for the safety of the people of New York.
I have great respect for our rescue workers but what if they way the emergency calls to them is not be effectively dispatched or communicated?
Are we going to have more water main breaks, steam pipe explosions, man hole covers exploding because the mayor caters to mega rich ruthless developers as even more New Yorkers are forced out by ruthless land grabs with corrupt laws that seem to either protect them or are just not being applied to them?
We need changes in legislation to protect the people not corrupt dirty dealings by landlords and developers.
How many developers and landlords have DOB fines and ECB fines and are allowed to continue their dirty dealings.
The Bloomberg administration had to know there was no way DOB and DEP inspectors could keep up with the way too rapid development and ditto for Con Ed. I wrote Con Ed asking them to tell the mayor to slow down.
And that only covers honest inspectors because I fear some are on the take or incompetent -- more than has recently been exposed in the newspapers.
Either way Dear NEW YORKERS, BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU WALK, we are about to have Mike Bloomberg's "tsunami of community crushing development part 2" when he buys his third term in November and we are not safe here in NYC.
