Cathie Black's Birth Control Insult

Pull Out Method : Before Cathie Black Can Take A Few Sensitivity Courses, She Should Pull Out That Foot-Long In Her Mouth.

Last week, New York City Schools Chancellor Cathie Black insulted school employees, parents, and their children, after she said that birth control would solve overcrowding in Lower Manhattan schools.

"Could we just have some birth control for a while?" Black is quoted as having said, according to The New York Daily News. "It would really help us."

The schools chancellor added insult to injury by making another insensitive comment about the movie, Sophie's Choice.

One of the major problems facing New York City is that building and planning officials, such City Planner Amanda Burden, have taken part in an orgy of over-development : so many zone-busting high-rise apartment and condominium towers have been built in New York City without regard to the city's underlying infrastructure, such as school capacity or the number of hospitals in Lower Manhattan.

After she's done with each of issuing apologies for her insults and taking sensitivity courses, let's see Ms. Black's proposal for the construction of schools in Lower Manhattan, to match Ms. Burden's vision for an over-crowded and over-built Manhattan, one stuffed with so many Subway sandwich shops that New York City has consequently become such a huge turn-off.

NYC has been disfigured

Can anybody recognise New York City anymore ?

"One huge reason Mike almost lost to Bill Thompson," Suzannah B. Troy wrote on her blog, "was he and Amanda Burden displaced so many New Yorkers and made over our city like a bad plastic surgeon."

Recall Mayor Michael Bloomberg, says activist

Recall that Bloombo Dicto once supported a Westside Stadium, but he now cares naught for any Westside Hospital.

We need to recall Mayor Michael Bloomberg and elect in his place a mayor, who has his priorities "straight."

A concerned community resident spoke at the April 30, 2010 emergency community meeting in Hudson Guild, the day that St. Vincent's Hospital was closed. Maybe the reason St. Vincent's was allowed to close under shady conditions was precisely because it would allow developers to get their hands on the "million dollar views" from St. Vincent's location in the West Village ?

Bulldozers and cranes: Christine Quinn's development addiction

Quotes by Suzannah B. Troy regarding City Councilwoman Christine Quinn's addiction to over-development.


New York City has named a block on Hudson Street, "Jane Jacobs Way," after an important author and activist, who changed the course of urban planning.


City Councilwoman Christine C. Quinn was there for the renaming ceremony. Quinn has been the subject of investigations regarding her close ties to developers. Activist Suzannah B. Troy was outraged to see Quinn trade on the goodwill of Jane Jacobs.


"It was laughable and yet horrifying the way Jane Jacobs' name was bandied about, and the sheer denial of politicos pretending that Bloomberg-Quinn did not sell out (and destroy) New York to greedy developers from right under the people of New York's feet -- including how many eminent domain abuse battles going on right now here in NYC ?"



"Yes, I get emotional because on every street there are closings, and, at this street naming, it was the usual "orgy of admiration club" -- complete lies and denials. You heard the introduction Quinn is given -- an air brushed rosy introduction, which is extra horrifying because any one using their eyes can see the Village has buildings every where that busted thru zoning and evictions of small businesses everywhere -- because she was part of the corrupt politico that sold NYC and the people out."
