Yes my answer was serious....
I gave you different comments regarding your question.
The pics you…Read More provided is how I based my answer....
Point was did it create an issue for you and does it occur all the time.
If it was a one time incident as small as it was you decide?

Wasnt there an article on here that specifically said it was being auctioned!!

Rebecca-NYC underground system was installed by the Pilgrims when they came to the island. In…Read More todays world like in the RICH neighborhoods of LI they already have underground services.
Some years ago the City of Palo Alto, CA VOTED to go underground. They approved a 10 year and only 10 year service charge of $10.00 per month and down came the poles and wires. Since water and natural gas were already there is was a easily done. House values increase, damage from wind and earthquakes dropped and neighborhood ambiance increased ten fold....But then again the people HAVE A VOICE there and sometimes get it right....

Don't underestimate the cost. It would be in the Billions to retrofit and bury the thousands of…Read More linear miles of different cable types. You need to excavate (assuming there is nothing in the way, like existing underground utilities), provide different steel conduits for each utility (gas, electric, fiber optic, telephone, etc.), and keep them far enough apart - or encase them in concrete - to avoid interfering with each other. Plus extra pullboxes/manholes. And all that labor to do the research and the work.
And don't forget either: NYC has underground utilities. Which got just as flooded out during Sandy.
Burying cable is not the cure-all solution. Plant trees between the curb and buildings - that is the sensible thing to do.

That's why a larger development around a new world-class venue would have been ideal.
The problem…Read More with always going for the "hi-tech, bio tech and pharam" is that you're looking at specialized advanced degree jobs. Nothing wrong with that but we need well paying blue collar jobs too. Bring back industry. Why aren't we a leader in next-gen products for automobile, home and aerospace? Have the white collar jobs but also many blue collar jobs in production.
And how about taking the empty commercial lots and vacant big box buildings and create jobs through vertical and greenhouse farming? Year-round agriculture and local access to fresh foods.
Again, instead of being a consumer suburb, become a producer suburb once again.

National party platforms don't count for very much in local politics, nor should they. So forget…Read More about defining the GOP as the party of "limited government" and having that mantra apply to the Hub situation. As this morning's bipartisan arrests shaped, local politics is about money and access to the ballot. If the right palms had been greased, the right players involved, it would have happened.
Personally, I don't mind that Wang's plan failed, he has no development experience and he's a crook who relied on the statute of limitations to avoid jail. The fact is that his own firm turned around and tried to sue him after he stepped down.
By the way, the GOP is the party of massive government subsidies to industry. Exactly how do you reconcile that with this idea of limited government?

Canon received about $100 million in government aid, including tax breaks from New York State and…Read More Suffolk County, and an extra lane on each of the Long Island Expressway service roads. In return you got not new jobs, but just a relocation of existing jobs from four offices in Lake Success and one in Manhasset.
Canon “hopes” to add 750 more jobs within 10 years. Wait and see if that happens. Bottom line is that you paid Canon $100 million to keep, not add, 1300 jobs, about $80,000 a job. What a good deal.
Wee Little Heart, is that all you got.

I think that there is a lot of truth to what Stevo has to say. The first time we see someone, we…Read More see him or her the way that they really appear, you might say. After that, our perceptions are colored by our feelings. If we like the person, his or her good features will come to the fore and that person will grow in attractiveness esp. if we continue to learn about their wonderful personal qualities. I remember meeting someone whom, at first glance, I thought was very attractive but with time, when I learned she wasnt nice at all [ and I wasnt the only one who thought that], I never saw her as pretty again. Pretty is as pretty does, as the old adage goes. Inner beauty radiates to the outside. It is something to remember.

Hi Chris, not sure why a link would be broken?
I know our taxes go up at least $200 a year. After 10…Read More years it certainly adds up. It's always been expensive to live on Long Island and that won't ever change. People can either move elsewhere if they can or stay until they can leave. I love Long Island and while I agree the cost to live here is costly, Long Island is my home :)
