Reply to Traffic deaths in NYC still 14% higher than pre-pandemic levels, latest data shows by ER301
The number of wrongdoings you can pull off in front of cops whether you're in a car or on a bicycle/moped/motorcycle is pretty fascinating. There is almost zero enforcement.

The automobile industry, land ownership issues, and the unwillingness of elected officials in long-term projects are a few reasons why.

The museum was about to go under, it sold it's right to build to the developer, and is receiving the money as long as the plan gets approved. The city also pledged 10 million to the museum. Also, why are you conveniently ignoring the other pledges to the park and resilience infrastructure?

Now let's see where this site is. Map.
Now tell me how this site is blocking views of the two blocks of low rises in front of it and "ruining" the characteristic of the site.
I am curious how many members of this preservationist group also owns real estate in the Southbridge Towers happened to be across the street from the parking lot.

That's not corruption - that's contributing to the community you're trying to buid in. Other contributions include resilient infrastructure and capital improvements at Titanic Park and investment in expansion of maritime uses at Pier 17. It's a common practice in construction to please and get permission of local old NIMBYist fucks.
If anything the corrupt side is the commission and the locals.

Did the City ever consider using these spaces/buying them off owners as space for the trash storages we are kept being told we don't have space for?
