The grind is heavy and the road ahead looks long but we are nearing the one thousand mark. I need you to pull whoever you can into this fight before we approach the city council. We have to keep moving forward despite how tired we all feel.

The feedback from city hall is silence and my energy is running thin. If we hit one hundred signatures today we might finally force them to acknowledge this demand.

Get those Condos out of here! Everything in NY is being lost to condos, 5 Pointz, Pearl Paint, the domino Sugar factory, the germania bank building on 190 bowery. No no no, it's time we start taking our city back! No to these condos! I love the seaport so much, its a historic old fashion area, there is no way these disgusting(disgusting because I have had enough) condos have a purpose at the seaport! Its a place to get away from it all, no to the condos! And as for the new mall? The look does not fit in at all with the place! What's next to go?!

It looks hideous. It is a ridiculous idea. It is so big and doesn't fit in with anything surrounding it. Leave the historics alone.
The seaport is one of the only places left in the city with real character. Please save the history before it is gone forever. Way too much concrete already.
Stop turning everything into high-end malls!! NYC is losing its soul. Keep the seaport for the people not for developers to cash out.
save our seaport from china

Agreed Amanda!! And the new look for the mall is horrible too! Does not fit in at all compared to the "homey" look of the old building :(
