@Potus - well-delivered, solid presentation. Can’t say same for Republican rep Katie Britt response- wasn’t sure if she was going to break out crying at any moment in her cringe worthy, vacuous, faux emotional plea #StateOfTheUnionAddress

[El Lark @el_lark]

Netanyahu-Putin - 2 sides of same coin; Israeli govt using horror of Oct7 as opportunity to justify unconscionable wiping out of Gaza people; losing all moral validity; breeding hate. @POTUS stop this massacre linked to our U.S. #PalestineIsraelwar

Landmarks Preservation Commission - undermining its purpose, folding to city pressure and developer interests? @nyclandmarks

The Seaport Coalition has just filed a lawsuit against the NYC Landmarks Commission. Click https://t.co/YlTIfw3e74 to read.

“The Seaport has always been one of the few historic NYC areas that we could still rely on to be there. If left alone, it can remain a living and breathing museum for anyone who visits to appreciate our past and try to relive the moments of our ancestors.” @nyclandmarks #250Water

Gale will regret that this is her legacy. As someone who sat next to her for 11 months of Seaport Working Group meetings, it seems obvious that this deal was cooked in secret many years ago and that the museum has come along for political cover. LPC CofA’s are not for sale.

The Historic Seaport is too special to allow a private developer to turn public assets into negotiating fodder, thank u @TheVillageSun for covering the political squeeze in play @galeabrewer @SeaportCo @CM_MargaretChin @friendosss

@nycmayor can no longer hide behind his reps, and pretend that all is fine while the @HowardHughesCo - with assistance of complicit @NYCEDC - attempts to gain control over what happens in the Seaport. Read the 'Squeeze Play’

Mayor de Blasio, State of the City Address: Feb 3, 2015:
“We are not embarking on a mission to build towering skyscrapers where they don’t belong. We have a duty to protect and preserve the culture and character of our neighborhoods, and we will do so.” @nycmayor @galeabrewer

[El Lark @el_lark]

So it's in the historic Seaport- what’s the problem. As HHC would say - it blends so well with its skyscraper friends OUTSIDE the Seaport @friendosss

Here is HHC’s second attempt. Had to clean up the wires from the bridge they used to obscure it’s true height and bulk. See the red brick ? That’s the zoned height.

Jan122021 meeting: In a convoluted approach to appropriateness, is the @nyclandmarks Chair running off the “edge” in support of an outlandish tower the HowardHughesCorp is pushing within the historic Seaport?
