See Staten Island post before re: Re-shuffle deck chairs on titanic
Why fix the problem with getting competent people ----
folks -- if you follow my blog you know I have huge problem with DOB and Dept. of Building never had the gumption to tell Bloomberg to slow down safety first.
for the record I have met really, really nice DOB guys honorable -- some even good looking -- even older and well preserved but I still pretty much hate Dept of Building and way too many people have died and or been injured and or have been let down in massive ways because DOB is either corrupt or inept or both but know way DOB can police this Bloomberg reckless tsunami of community crushing poorly built development under Bloomberg -- it's been a blood bath -- and Bloomberg all guilty of the largest tax payers Titanics EVER in NYC gov with contracts CityTime, ECTP 911 even bigger.....

I don't have the time to search for the media reported construction accidents deaths and injuries and I believe plenty is not reported and DOB Stats fake to false -- so many illegal immigrants and their injuries not counted as one example of my thinking here.
