tale of two cities:
- downtown residents living in apartments in buildings most of which in 2020 are the functional equivalent of tenements, needing upgrades in electrical and plumbing;- ruling elite living in houses and dominating the Common Council with membership probably 90 percent of member time on that body for the last half century.

Today I learned about:
And the Phase II meeting in June. It seemed like the same effort from 5-6 years ago, except that the previous one had been about the "transit district". I didn't notice that anything positive came of that. What did I miss? What will be different now? It's the same lineup.
Do any of you or city officials ever attend a condo or co-op meeting? You attend those neighborhood association meetings often.
Oh, and those Hudsonlink buses are as empty as often now as they have been since their introduction years ago. Have you noticed?
