On the Sofa: GL Reader Comments

October 14th, 2007 · No Comments

Once a week, we like to look at some comments left by GL readers. Here’s a selection from the last seven days:

Saga of the “Park Slope Vue” Not Over. “The developer has made the quality of life HELL for the local residents and probably could lose his shirt and 6 stories off his buildings if an appeal to the BSA was made. Working legally, safely and compliant with code, not to mention being a ‘good neighbor’ to the community, should be mandatory.” [CCGH]

A “Park Slope “Children’s Boutique” That Won’t Hire Moms? “come on people. do you really think the business owner’s concerns about her store making money or not somehow make it ok for her to discriminate? it doesn’t…we have laws against discrimination on the basis of sex, race, and family status for a reason. everyone should be judged on the basis of their ability to do the job, not on their social status.” [Anonymous]

Sackett Street Blunts and Stoop Drama. “In the year 2007, why is anyone throwing shit at anybody? Why are people who don’t live in a building sitting on a stranger’s stoop when their own is a few houses away? And why can’t people expect others to adhere to at least very basic levels of common courtesy?” [Anonymous]

Brooklyn Nibbles: Park Slope Edition. “attn 7th Ave.. we will trade you 2 sushi places for one diner– your buddy, 5th Ave.” [J$]
