When it comes to building.....GREED and SPEED take precedent over safety requirements.... and
(once again) our "old friends" at the DOB are certainly to blame !
The city is tumbling down around us and Mayor Mike turns a deaf ear as usual !
what are we up to . . . three retaining wall collapses this week??
It's like "Chicken Little's" futile shouting at the lazy & corrupt DOB, "The walls are falling" !
And mayor Dumb-berg rolls over on his pillow and continues his beauty nap !
