Oh, I saw it, yes. It ... had a very NPR take in a lot of ways (centuries of racialist environmental degradation are bad because they are slowing down the condo-ification of the neighborhood). But it quotes our assemblymember, Emily Gallagher, a lot, and she has her head on straight and is trying to fight both polluters and reckless development. Doomed to failure, of course, but we keep on trying.

God, those pictures made me miss Greenpoint, though. The skull bldg. now occluded by the screen of a $60/car drive-in is just heartbreaking.
