Good thing we live in a progressive city where soft on crime policies allow those who have been the victims of systemic racism and oppression to be driven around in luxury automobiles where they can murder people in broad daylight over a parking space. Keep voting Democrat! They need access to more programs!!!!!

“Law and Order President?”

Nonsense. He is president now and is fostering disorder. It’s on his watch!

How about defending a 17 year old who crossed state lines with an assault weapon and killed two people, one carrying a skateboard?” Mr. maga actually defended this murderer! That’s not “law and order” to me!

Killed over a parking spot. And politicians keep saying China has human rights issues. I’ve never heard of someone in China shot and killed over a parking spot. Life is cheap in China but even cheaper on American streets!

In the ever-evolving landscape of New York City, the need for thoughtful urban planning has never been more critical. As we look to the future, it’s clear that neighborhood rezoning offers a more comprehensive and beneficial approach compared to individual rezoning requests for specific projects.
