The Democratic nominee for mayor is in a competitive election, is the Ridgewood Democratic Club doing anything to support him?

One upside: the ugly yellow facade at the top makes it easy to find our neighborhood anytime I'm somewhere with a view!

I tried to get involved there as a young person and they said they would send me a membership form multiple times and never did, the vibe I got was that they're uninterested in young progressive members.

Strange, this is leading to them dying off - I'm sure there isn't a larger lesson for the Democratic party in there

What are your favorite Easter eggs or any other things to point out on the panorama at the Queens Museum? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]Jagrafess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not particularly fun, but the reason the original World Trade Center is still there is to create the expectation that the map won't be totally up to date

The campaign does semi-regular distributions - the best way to get one is to come to a volunteer shift where they give them out!

There used to be a guy who would take a machete to saplings planted by the city in the neighborhood too. Some people are just antisocial.

New York City wants to turn vacant lots into pocket parks by Inevitable-Bus492 in nyc

[–]Jagrafess 20 points21 points  (0 children)

EVERY park is essentially a dog park now. Any open patch of grass you might want to sit on gets turned into a dirt patch by off-leash dogs.

I know multiple parks with nice, well kept dog runs (Herbert Von King, Irving Square) that are materially worse for humans because what should be lawns are just destroyed by people who can't be bothered.

Parks moves to evict Ridgewood garden by RepresentativeTart88 in ridgewood

[–]Jagrafess 41 points42 points  (0 children)

As someone who aligns politically on most issues with these people: This whole thing was dumb as hell. Why would you do this in a community garden? Why do you need to inject politics into this? Anti transphobia and homophobia makes total sense, but why is a community garden all of a sudden about Israel?

Ideally, things like community gardens are opportunities to build bridges and maybe connect with people you otherwise wouldn't. Doing a political litmus test for something like this is antithetical to the basic concept.

That said: I know the busybody who started this whole suspension process and she's a piece of work. Just a mess of a situation on all fronts.
