March 13, 2014- Opinion By Steven E. Greer, MD
The newly elected Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer recently formed a “Task Force” to halt the progress of the Howard Hughes Corporation development planned for the Seaport at Pier 17. The appointed members were the usual suspects, such as Community Board 1’s (CB1) Jeff Galloway and Catherine McVay Hughes.

What is the real purpose of this task force other than to give the appearance that the elected officials are listening to the small vocal opposition to development? Continue reading

Wealthy tenants at 22 River Houses being evicted as building converts to condo
Update March 11, 2014- It seems that Big Real Estate will win in this dispute. The main vocal opposition, Seth Kyle, gave up and signed a lease in a FiDi apartment.
