It wasn’t much long ago when yours truly did a expansive on the street eyewitness story about the much ballyhooed NYC Open Restaurants program (albeit ballyhooed by our feckless and bought elected officials in NYC Council, former mayor Bill de Blasio and current Mayor Eric Adams) and what an actual clusterfuck it was and making a case out it shouldn’t exist anymore. Now thanks to a judge’s recent decision to order the city to make a thorough environmental review of the restaurant shanties all over the five boroughs, it has thankfully put a pounding kibosh on the City Council Cronies plan to make these unsafe, blighted, filthy, ugly and traffic congesting eyesores a permanent part of the street infrastructure which the restaurants have been using for free for the last two years.
But before the Council Cronies begin their study, I would like to present exhibit A on why every public space these restaurants has usurped must cease to exist and that’s the massive triple cluster shanty on the southwest corner of 32nd St. and 5th Ave, just two blocks away from the Empire State Building.
This is truly the tipping point of public space misuse and the heinous blight that has befouled the streets in the last year, which continues unencumbered because of the willful obliviousness of elected officials and the persistent bickering demands of the hospitality industrial complex lobby, represented by some neoliberal runt named Andrew Rigie.
Behold.

Thank heavens that sanity prevailed! Get rid of them ALL!
Call 311 and report these filthy shacks to the Sanitation department.
Get rid of the criminally insane politicians who destroyed New York City, with a vengeful impunity that remains unprecedented, to date. Likewise, New York State. The whole filthy, DemonRat-tainted state is a Clusterf**k Shantytown——but, OH how crime always pays handsomely for corrupt politicians on a mission to keep their graft in play for a lifetime, all at the expense of the taxpayer enabling peons whose blind faith allegiance keeps the CRIME WAVE in perpetual motion.

Now where do you expect the rats to go?

Thank you, he/ she/it, quotation drone.

I think these shanties show that 311 doesn't work at times. Plus it's up to the Dept. of Transportation to decide and it sure looks like there are people working inside that don't want these gone no matter how shitty they look as long as cars aren't there.
These enclosed pods are more likely to spread COVID than a real
Big open restaurant.
But...hey....the Koreans are a big voting block.

Your reply is an insult to anyone when you mockingly refer to a person with a contemptible label-jab. You must be very young, very stupid, or both. If you wish to acknowledge someone for their comments, don't deal them a hostile left-handed complement by punctuating it with worn out, lampooning labels that devalue your attempted praise, altogether. Save your misguided jabs for the ugly politicians who keep bleeding your pockets dry and make fools out of law abiding citizens by actually destroying freedom and democracy——not their justified critics!
A tossed lit cigarette, a sloppy crackhead or a firebug and that will be a fire that could have been prevented.It’s a shame they’re not condemned by the FDNY and the DOB. We’ve been sold a bill of goods for the past two years.
JQ LLC - once you get the complaint number from the City Agency , hang up and call back 311 and make what’s called an Agency Complaint ( name the agency you are complaining to). You will be put at the top of the food chain. At one time you could email the commissioners of all City Agencies. That’s very helpful if you can contact the commissioner. Be sure to say when you call 311, I want to make an agency complaint , give your complaint numbers and you will get action

That could be anyone'e comment, but I presume you are talking about the name-calling troll who calls everyone "TA commie's" or "CCP ...".
I feel bad for that creature. Obviously had an unhappy upbringing.
