LES was a residential neighborhood first. Walk further east along Grand and it’s still a very quiet residential neighborhood. The city decided to fuck the place up by stuffing a bunch of homeless shelters around the Delancey area and concentrate 70 bars in a 3 block area in Hells Square.

They pretty much have taken a residential area and turned it into a playground for the rest of the city, residents be damned. And people wonder why NIMBYs exist…
