The Bloomberg administration brought a tsunami of way too rapid development and the death toll continues to rise from construction and infrastructure related accidents. My heart goes out to everyone and their loved ones. The mayor now echoes what we have been saying for years, safety first but it sure feels like greed is first and New Yorkers have been paying with their lives, quality of life or the lack their of, higher everything because ultimately the tax payers pay for the law suits. These new sky piercing luxury hotels, condos and mega dorms (St. Ann's from 1847 survived everything but NYU's need and greed to build yet another mega dorm) reflect a history destroyed, communities no longer welcome and greed. The infrastructure disaster by Grand Central and these crane incidents look like terror attacks but they are not. Welcome to the new hideous New York built on old New York's infrastructure. People cross the street rather than walk by a construction site or under scaffolding and to stay away from man hole covers.

One dead that they know of .... and there are people trapped under the rubble is what I am hearing on the news.... Death toll rises in this tsunami of development post 9-11.
I turned the channel when Scott Stringer called in because in my opinion he has not been there for the people of New York and this is a guy who does not see a conflict of interest with a community chair who owns many bars in the East Village and one of the top complaints is night life issues as in bars....
The continue death toll rises and I am sick of politicians chiming in like Stringer and I want leaders that actually protect us -- safety first -- that includes night life because in the Chelsea, Village Bowery Soho area that are been women raped and murdered or people killed in drunk driving --- safety first so I DO NOT want to hear Stringer calling in to a news show.
10:13 just posted this on Crain's
