This entire process has been untransparent, and a very cynical, disingenuous theater that pretends to listen to ordinary New Yorkers and residents and has has deployed unscrupulous, very arrogant, very divisive add homonyms such as where nineties and elitist and even racist despite overwhelming opposition by every demographic as we have seen in hearings like this and previous ones.

We have respectfully participated, put our lives on hold, struggled to get informed, struggled to inform others in this, like I said, very untransparent process.
5:12:22
We have complied trying to register our valid concerns only to feel like they are dismissed for a predetermined outcome by a by a clearly corrupt administration, a mayor that has been indicted who's who's administration has been also resigning and being charged with things like fraud and bribes, including by construction companies such as KSK, which had over $400,000 in safety violation fines.

Ugh.

We are so angry.
5:13:02
We are watching to see what you guys will do because we feel like we are just being railrooted, like I said, for predetermined outcome, for the sake of padding developers, bottom lines, and a pay to play quick ProCo scheme by a corrupt admin STRAATION.
