Once a week we turn to some of the comments that readers have left. Here’s a sampling from the last seven days:

The Absolute Last Straw: City Wants to Kick Out Red Hook Vendors. “My bet is that they’ll give the vending contracts to “Latino” food vendors so that they can make it seem like nothing and no one has changed. Yes, it’s about money, but race and racism are inseparable from it here.
