They're demolishing a sunbathing platform and a few hundred feet of footpaths, then packing down landfill and walling off sections while laying new footpaths and some sod and saplings.

$20,000,000 would be overly expensive. Anything above that is going to corruption.

You are suggesting that $221M is being spent legitimately to raise a 200' by 600' park...

...The entire park, you claim is being raised without leaving street level areas with walls, even though that park contains two very large landmarks which border the waterfront and cannot be raised.

>$221,000,000

Wagner park is hardly larger than a soccer field.

They won't elevate the Jewish Museum, so the north part will just be a wall. They can't elevate the boathouse, so the south part will just be a wall...

Snap out of this trance where you just repeat media. You're not making any sense.

>The entire park is being raised

No. You are wrong.

Asser Levy, Stuyvesant Cove, The Promenade, and much of the East River Park and South Street waterfront are going to remain at street level with a flood wall. They've already begun placing the street-level flood wall in some places. According to the very sparse and apparently unofficial renderings of the project, there will only be a few areas that are actually "elevated" in some sections.

Maybe don't keep the plans vague and secret and get the city sued, and then when you have to release the plans redact major sections including $300,000,000 of the ambiguous budgeting, and get the city sued again... This entire project is disgusting and corrupt.

It's still being resolved with a concrete wall and mounds that block the view of the river... And most of the park space will still be exposed to storm surges.

They didn't need to kill all of those plants and animals. This entire project is just a way to launder tax dollars to elites through construction companies.

They clear cut like 1000 trees from the East River Park, killing and displacing a solid percentage of Manhattan's wildlife, for what will surely be a 10 year "construction" project that could have just been a resolved with a concrete wall along the water.

>The switch will provide some new benefits, such as routine hearing and vision exams, hearing aids, and mental health care provided via telemedicine.

These are not new benefits. They were already provided by medicare. The difference is that this aDvAntAgE pLaN requires pre-approval for certain benefits, which only serves to deny healthcare to people who would have had access under the medicare plan.

The unaffiliated "teens" robbing stores and attacking random people on the street are WAY more dangerous than the B/C/LK when I came up.

Even just the concept of "truancy" is forgotten, now. Nobody is going to "bust" you for being out of school, smoking weed on the street, blatantly robbing a store, or beating the shit out of an old woman these days.

The evidence of our empire's collapse is apparent to Native New Yorkers more than anybody else in the country can even begin to comprehend. We are so unbelievably fucked.

People finna complain because these things cost a million dollars over the price of materials and labor, and everybody who lives here knows that mentally ill homeless people will intentionally render them completely unusable for the rest. It's pointless. They need to be institutionalized.

This is fake.

Weird how many of them happen on the top floor of the building.

There are literally hundreds of cases... HUNDREDS. OF. CASES... in which burning somebody else's American Flag has been declared "free speech" in the last 60 years, and only related to property damage and not a hate crime. You don't get to change the rules now.

How much time have you spent rallying against "free speech" in the last 3 years?

>The LGBT community
>In that country where nobody is allowed to throw us off a roof
>But fuck that country's flag compared to OURS!

Either burning a flag isn't a crime, or it is.

That's fascinating. A lot of flags were burned in public recently. Can't wait to see which ones were arson, and which ones were free speech.

Is burning a flag arson and a hate crime now?

(User came to this thread from a different subreddit)

Sorry, everybody. False alarm. Never mind. Go about your business. It was just an American Flag.

We should, fuckin... Like... Crack down on the MAYOR for the lack of weed licenses, or somethin. Sick bro.

I'm not sure I could fully commit to the offensive accent looking like a tall white man.

Maybe we should just send them back and not pay for luxury suites.

Do you know where I can get a fake ID from Guatemala?

Anybody want to go on Zillow and look up apartments that cost $9,100/mo and tell me why the fuck our taxes should be paying for that?

That's a high-end two bedroom apartment in Midtown, for each person... Who isn't even supposed to be here.

That's $9,000 a month.

What are you guys paying for your own rent?

>white

Literally anybody from NYC can immediately identify this man as hispanic.
