Oped Debate about the City of Yes

Mayor Adams vs a Couple of Critics of the Proposal

Public Comment Period Ends Monday, July 22, 2024

There's a debate heating up over Mayor Adams push to change NYC's zoning laws. The Mayor asserts the changes will encourage the growth of affordable housing, while critics believe the zoning changes that Adams has proposed, will usurp much of neighborhoods ability to have a say in what is built in their communities by aggressive international and local developers. Critics also mention that the legislation appears to include significant billionaire and real estate developer giveaways and that Adams' proposed zoning law changes provide no guarantees that any affordable housing will be built at all, because of the proposal. Lastly, the City of Yes concentrates the power it proposes to be taken from the people, into the hands of the Mayor's Office, which by its very nature would significantly reduce transparency and visibility currently available to the people who live, work and pay taxes here, regarding what's being developed and erected in NYC neighborhoods by billionaires, real estate developers and international investors.

Click this link to view generally well written OpEds on both sides of the debate. In them, you'll also be able to find out how you can make your voice heard in the debate, before the period for public comment closes on Monday, July 22nd, 2024.

Remember, a government by, for and of the people, is just a meaningless phrase, if the people (yes that means you) don't pay attention to what's going on in their government and participate in it by getting involved. It's very, very easy to lose rights and privileges, as we saw by the recent court invalidation of Roe v. Wade. And it's very, very hard to win them back. China and Russia are good examples of places where, after millenia, the people have still not won back respect by, for and from their governments.

 

Wednesday, 7.24.24, D.C. Protest of Netanyahu Duping American - not Israeli - Taxpayers into Funding the Palestinian Kristallnacht, in addition to Israeli Imperialism & Expansionism

things to do nyc this weekend events nyc manhattan queens brooklyn bronx staten island nyc weekend eventsOn Wednesday, July 24, 2024, from 8 am to 8 pm, there's a protest against alleged War Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu at the Capitol in in Washington, D.C.

The Jewish American families whose loved ones are still being held captive by the Hamas terrorists are among those who will be protesting Netanyahu's speech to a joint session of Congress. They are protesting Netanyahu's presence, because Netanyahu has repeatedly refused to accept any peace deal which would free the hostages. Netanyahu is trying to get some of the released Israeli hostages to come to support him [create confusion], while the families of those still in captivity are pleading with the freed American hostage to stay away or join them.

An Israeli American group called Unxeptable will also be there protesting Netanyahu's visit because they view him as a fascist threat to Israeli democracy - https://www.facebook.com/UnXeptable. They won't be alone. See one of the Netanyahu welcoming committee posters at right.

Many congressmen and women, along with Senator Bernie Sanders (and possibly other senators), will not be attending the speech. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was not invited by President Biden, but rather primarily by congressional Republicans - who insiders believe are using Netanyahu to divide Democrats in the lead up to the 2024 election. Netanyahu had participated in this same sort of election interference effort back in 2016, at which time he indicated he favored Donald Trump. An estimatd 58 Democrats skipped his speech that year, and it is believed the number could go much higher this year, when he arrives at the Capitol next week.

Here's a story about Netanyahu's apparent use of American funding and weapons for Israeli imperialism, as well as what seems to be the Palestinian Kristallnacht. In the report we explore how Netanyahu avoids taxing billionaire Israelis for his wars, because - with the help of the faulty reporting by American corporate mass media - he has been able to successfully convince American taxpayers to fund them instead. Stay tuned.

things to do nyc this weekend events nyc manhattan queens brooklyn bronx staten island nyc weekend eventsNYC Weather Forecast as of 7.12.24. Sunrise 5.35 am & Sunset at 8.27 pm. The temperature highs climbing from the mid 80's on Friday and Saturday to the low 90's on Sunday. The temperature lows will remain in the mid 70's all weekend. The humidity will range from 70% - 90% on Friday, falling a bit to about 80% on Saturday and then falling again to between 55% - 70% on Sunday. There's a 75% chance of 3/4 inch of rain on Friday, and a 100% chance of about a 1/2 inch of rain on Saturday, but gone by about 2 pm. So most of Saturday and all of Sunday are rain-free. Winds are 1 - 5 mph all weekend.

The photo at right was taken in Greenpoint Brooklyn two weeks ago during the Lady Land festival in the Under the K Bridge Park. The painted blue building, labeled 'Crooklyn' lies at one of the entrances to the park, and you can see a security guard in the yellow vest, sitting on a park bench in the foreground.

Things To Do This Weekend in Manhattan NYC

things to do nyc this weekend events nyc manhattan queens brooklyn bronx staten island nyc weekend eventsSunday, July 14, 2024 from 12 noon - 5 pm - Bastille Day Festival - Along Madison Avenue from 59th Street to 63rd Street and along 60th Street between between 5th and Madison Avenues - Upper East Side Neighborhood NYC street fair Manhattan. This is one of the more differentiated street fairs, as it is organized by the French Institute / Allianz Francais and focuses on French culture including live performances, a champagne party [you need tickets], French film, French booths, French food and family activities. For details and tickets see - https://fiaf.org/

The photo at right was taken underneath Grand Central Terminal, along one of the north / south subway platforms. I like subways and think the MTA should resume expanding the system - not so much within Manhattan which is far more subway accessible than any other borough - but in the outer boroughs. This will have a three-fold effect: 1) it will make the outer boroughs more liveable because they'll be more transit accessible, 2) it will reduce carbon emissions because more folks will use mass transit, and 3) it will make outer borough housing more of an affordable housing option, than it currently is, because it will be commute-able without adding the cost of car ownership to home ownership.

Sunday, July 14, 2024 from 5 to 10 pm - Bastille Day Concert in Central Park - at the Rumsey Playfield. Free. For details, copy & paste - https://newyork.consulfrance.org/bastille-day-2024-french-music-festival-discover-the-lineup

things to do nyc this weekend events nyc manhattan queens brooklyn bronx staten island nyc weekend eventsNYC Weather Forecast as of 7.5.24. Sunrise 5.31 am & Sunset at 8.30 pm. The temperature highs will be in the high 80's and the temperature lows will be in the mid 70's. The humidity will range from 75% - 85% on Friday and Saturday, descending to 60% - 70% on Sunday. There will be a gentle breeze all weekend, as winds will range from 4 - 7 mph. There is an air quality alert from 11 am - 11 pm Friday. There's a 30% chance of a small bit of rain [0.02 inches] Friday afternoon / evening and a 35% chance of a 1/10th inch of rain Saturday afternoon, with the most likely timing about 1 - 2 pm. If you don't mind a little rain, I wouldn't worry about it because the probability is low and so is the amount and both the amount and the chance of rain are spread throughout the entire day.

The photo at right was taken near 30th Street at 11th Avenue of the Macy's 4th of July fireworks display on the Hudson River. I didn't try to make it down to the West Side Highway, but probably could have, without too much difficulty. The problem with staying inside the Manhattan grid, as I did, is that we only got a partial view of the show.

 

Friday Evening Edition. 7.5.24 at 6 pm - This is pretty well done, but remember, this is always a work in progress.
