They had an older lady on the radio this morning complaining because she and her husband had checked into a hotel (they had no power), couldn’t reserve more than 1 day at a time, and then were booted for marathon people.
It is just a bad time; every cup those runners down along the course is more clean water unavailable to people in other parts of the city. I don’t live there (never go there, though we can see the skyline across the meadowlands), but I think it is callous to do that.
Would they run the marathon less than a week after 9/11? The impact of this storm is felt by a much larger number of people; what happened to Battery Park City on 9/11 (no power, food, uninhabitable housing) has happened all over the lower portions of the city, including areas where people weren’t told to evacuate.

Please stop whining.
