For Once, the Middle Class Wins


If you read this blog regularly, you know how I lament about how the middle class is vanishing in this town. As a child of middle class NYC, this is a matter near and dear to my heart. Too often the big developers get their way, building one useless luxury high rise after the other. But sometimes, there is justice in the world.

Kudos go to Senator Schumer and Governor Patterson and the other officials who brokered this deal. It's easy to be cynical about politicians and their motives but, at times like this, they can actually do some good. For the middle class New York, this is a great victory.
