Simon Adler’s Late to the Party – Is Khader El-Yateem Stuck in the Past?

Khader El-Yateem Failed Radio Lab
 

 

Yesterday, RadioLab posted Simon Adler’s podcast about Khader El-Yateem and the Bay Ridge election.  Adler wrote the the story for another website, WNYC over a month ago, so why is he publishing a podcast that isn’t relevant?

 

The late delivery says that this isn’t an important topic, yet Khader El-Yateem still tweeted it out.  Did he listen to the whole thing? 

 

 

The podcast begins with Simon Adler talking about a debate that took place at Xaverian High School two months ago.   

 

Alder was mesmorized by Bob Capano going off on a rift during the debate. Adler’s profile shows he is from Brooklyn, so it’s strange that he would think Capano was interesting. 

 

Adler seems amazed that Bay Ridge has stores and restaurants from people of all different cultures, but it’s just something we have known all our lives. Maybe he doesn’t get out much?

24 Million Spent to Make the Bay Ridge Station Pretty – No Access for Disabled

 

 

 Joe Lhota and crew showed up to the Bay Ridge Avenue Station to take pictures. Twenty-four million has been spent on making it look cleaner and good for selfies. Yet, it not accessible for disabled residents. For most NY’ers, they just want the train to move and to move fast. No one wants to be standing in a station long enough to notice if it is pretty.  Story: here

 

Senator Marty Golden serves on the MTA Capital Review Board and his area doesn’t get anything??


Before the Makeover:

 

 

 

After the Makeover:

 

 

 

Bay Ridge residents protested because disabled residents, especially those in wheelchairs don’t have a station in Bay Ridge that they can use to access the subway.
