What are the candidates positions on services for seniors in Brooklyn Heights which are poor and lacking ?? No one seems to be addressing this issue.

Yes, we’re the ones that are supposed to care about other people that can’t afford those kind of rents in this city/country/world. I don’t think what I said was so complicated.

I haven’t met many people who live a decent life in BH to be considered “working class”. Isn’t the average rent somewhere near $3,000 for a one bedroom apartment?

Heavy traffic through Heights streets late nights this weekend?

Brooklyn
Brooklyn Queens Expressway northbound/eastbound between Hamilton Avenue and Tillary Street
The northbound Brooklyn Queens Expressway will be closed at Cadman Plaza West during limited overnight hours of 1 am to 6 am Saturday September 7, 2 am to 7 am Sunday September 8th, and 12:01 am to 4 am Monday September 9th, 2013. Motorists proceeding toward Queens should plan alternate routes or follow posted detours at the Atlantic Avenue exit, and consider the Brooklyn Battery/Hugh L. Carey Tunnel (toll facility) for best access to Manhattan. Additionally the Hamilton Avenue entrances to northbound BQE and the Atlantic Avenue entrance to northbound BQE will be closed during hours noted above. Motorists should follow posted detours. These closures are required to facilitate NYCDOT work associated with the Brooklyn Bridge.

DeBlasio isnt taking care of ANYONE other than himself. He is a sham artist who had a strategist tell him he had to grab the Obama divide and conquer strategy in order to rise above Quinn. We have had the best years of our lives in this City since the mid-90s.

Tazza is a co-op or condo space, so it’s possible it’s being transformed into two stores.

Also sorry, Lois – Pierson does have a record to examine. He’s been on CB2 for a few years. How was his attendance? What is his voting record? ULURP (a kind of land use) votes are recorded by name, and could listed here on BHB. They could retrieved by a FOIA inquiry, if necessary. This would show us something of his record on development and developers. All the meeting minutes should be public information as well.

I’m not sure, but at the meetings I attended over the past few years (I’m not a CB2 member now), I think he sat in the back and didn’t say much.

How about it, Homer and friends?

Yes, it’s really important to give the rich in this country even more than they already have and make sure that less fortunate people are deprived in every way possible.

By: HenryLoL

HenryLoL — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 16:19:00 +0000

LOL. Believe me — you do not have many people who agree with your point of view.

Thanks, LOL — your opinion should be just the thing to put Bill de Blasio over the top.

By: HenryLoL

HenryLoL — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 14:19:00 +0000

De Blasio is THE WORST. Even the NY Times thinks he is a joke. He wants to create a divide in this City and is shamefully trying to get votes by having the underprivleged think he will help get them more by punishing the terrible ‘rich’ people. What a laugh.

Can anyone recommend a good Danish-language transvestite bowling league for kite enthusiasts of Lesotho-Japanese-Bulgarian ancestor? I also need a blimp repairman to help me with an insurance scam, if anyone knows a guy. Thanks.

Does anyone know if the police caught up to the phone grabber? (A thief wrestled away what I presume was a phone from a woman walking on Cranberry between Hicks & Henry. This was at about ten to seven this evening. He escaped onto the BQE, on foot, but lots of cops were on it…)

And while we’re at it, how about committing to vote for our Councilman, Steve Levin?!!

Sorry, Lois — this is too important.

What’s going on with the renovation of Tazza on Clark Street? It looks like they are splitting the space into two distinct spaces.

You’re welcome. Sorry for the presumption of guilt; we sometimes mock-ask the questions everyone has been seeing for months and years.
