a-hole of the day
so i've had to stop reading blogs about all of the luxury condo development in nyc because it was just bringing me down, but today, the new york times has this article about hotels being built in the dutch kills section of queens. this neighborhood is just north of the neighborhood where i live. anyway, i really love this quote from one of the developers:
Steven Bahar, one of the developers, said critics should consider the alternative to such construction. “If we don’t build in New York and the areas that are close to mass transit,” he said, “where are the city planners supposed to put development? In the suburbs, where people use cars and destroy the environment?”
how thoughtful you are, steven bahar. a-hole!

Mr. Bahar is a charismatic intelligent young man. He demonstrates a genuine concern for his community the environment.
Dutch Kills Resident- if the allocation of ur time is spent blogging about ur infantile resentment towards legitimate business men whom you are obviously jealous of, then i feel sorry for u.
steven bahar - i see you have googled yourself. believe you me, i am not jealous of you nor "legitimate business men" who take advantage of rezoning plans in order to make a quick buck:
"The plan was to loosen the limits on residential construction and clamp down on commercial construction, even prohibiting it on most blocks. In announcing its plans, however, the city inadvertently motivated developers to rush in to build tall commercial structures while they could."
