You mean it wasn’t about climate change, I don’t believe it.
I just learned this today from one of our own freepers who works in the horse trade in NYC! Only on FR, kids, only on FR.
“The Road Apple Conspiracy.”
It’s 2014 and horseless carriages have been the way of the world for 100 years.
Times to get the horse drawn carriages out of the city as all they do is block traffic.
You are correct(?). We need to dispose of all PUBLIC FUNDED museums, parks and anything that exhorts the life of 20 years ago. Start with the Rock & Roll Museum, the Rosa Parks Memorial, etc. Good grief!!! When will these people start living in the Obamanation?
The bad guy in this drama, according to the carriage drivers, is Steve Nislick, chief executive officer of a New Jersey-based real-estate development company, Edison Properties. The company "employs legions of lobbyists to influence city decisions on real estate and zoning in its favor," journalist Michael Gross reported in 2009, pointing out that two of Edison's businesses "have multiple locations in the same Far West Midtown neighborhood as the stables where the Central Park horses are housed." An anti-carriage pamphlet Nislick circulated in 2008 made this interesting observation: "Currently, the stables consist of 64,000 square feet of valuable real estate on lots that could accomodate up to 150,000 square feet of development. These lots could be sold for new development."Thanks digger48.
I agree.
But first, get rid or the horses that block traffic and poop in the streets.
And then stop the smelly hipsters on the pedicabs.
Hey Mayor- is Carl on here? You mean here on FreeRepublic? No. Someone else does all his social media stuff.
There are actually a couple movements to separate the state. I have been asked to join their face book pages. I have but don’t hold out much hope. Creating a 51st state will not work, legislators will never go along with it and neither will the feds.
My proposal is this and I have floated this by a few friends in government and they seem this could be done. DC is it’s own governing entity correct? Do the same type of thing with NYC.... Let this bozo screw things up more and we can use it all against him. Everything he does will effect this state in some way shape of form.
No. I’ve seen something about it, maybe on FR, but not with the guy’s name and all the details. It makes total sense. De Blasio couldn’t love PETA that much; what will they ever be able to do for him? I understood it during the campaign as a campaign promise to distinguish himself from Quinn at one point.
You could be right, but I think it is much more likely that the site will end up as another high-rise condo monster. The papers are full of reports in the last few days that there is not enough inventory of high-end housing here to meet the demand.
This is not about cruelty to horses … it’s about real estate! Here's some background.
Draft horses are our living history, we should never forget that they built this country.
