COUNTDOWN TO A NEW MAYOR
Mayor Bloomberg has championed the cause of development above all else-- above community integrity, above living wage jobs, above affordability for low and middle income New Yorkers, and above quality of life issues including the sanctity of parkland and historic preservation. Bloomberg has stacked the deck in favor of developers, put their profits above all else, and made it very difficult for communities to protect their viability by asking the important questions: Does this fit the community? Does it bring something the community needs, or only something developers think they can profit from? Is it actually affordable? In the Bloomberg administration, all of that is secondary to encouraging large-scale development, come what may. He has created a war zone in the outer boroughs, where the vast majority of New Yorkers live and try to put down roots. In that context, we can't help but begin a COUNTDOWN TO A NEW MAYOR

THEY HAVE NEVER, EVER GIVEN THE COMMUNITY ANYTHING BUT A RUN AROUND…THEY FEEL THAT THEY ARE ALL KNOWING AND ALL ENCOMPASING, WHEN TRUTHFULLY THEY DON’T KNOW THEIR A– FROM THEIR ELBOW…THE MAYOR WANTS TO DO A SURVEY????? LET HIM COME UP AND SPEAK TO THE FIPNA BOARD AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS..I’M SURE THEY COULD TELL HIM A THING OR TWO…IT’S JUST LIKE IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS…THE BRONX NEVER SEEMS TO GO FORWARD.IT;S ALWAYS BOUNCING BACKWARDS….SHAME ON YOU DEP AND SHAME ON YOU MAYOR BLOOMBERG FOR ALLOWING THE INCREDIBLE INEPTNESS TO CONTINUE, YEAR AFTER YEAR, AFTER YEAR….
Former Fipna President, thank you for the encouragement. FIPNA would love to sponsor a meeting where the Mayor comes before the people and answers our questions. Good idea.
