Memo to Mayor Eric Adams and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg: A Bronx cheer for your new “Midtown Community Improvement Coalition,” because — yes! — the squeegee men are back at the corner…

Bragg is an odd official for such a scheme considering how his soft-on-crime policies have so contributed to Midtown's decline.A Bronx cheer for your new “Midtown Community Improvement Coalition,” because — yes! — the squeegee men are back at the corner of Ninth Avenue and West 40th Street.
NYC workers continue to return to office as building ‘visitations’ move closer to pre-pandemic levels Giving Bragg a say in cleaning them up is like putting the Prisoners’ Rights Project in charge. What an insult to the public! The ferocious prosecutor of alleged white-collar wrongdoers including Donald Trump has less interest in convicting violent, repeat offenders who attack bodega owners than in charging those who act in self-defense against muggers and crazies.
But although City Hall accurately mentioned “illegal scaffolding” as a problem, there’s not a thing it can do about them. The main problem isn’t landlords who keep sheds up too long, but the laws that spawned them in the first place, nominally to protect the public but, in fact, to enrich the rental companies and a supporting army of consultants, contractors and construction unions.
