April 29, 2025Is Community Board 10 Playing Politics?

Who on Community Board 10 is launching this letter writing drama?
Where was this person(s) when Justin Brannan, Andrew Gounardes and CB 10 failed to share information about the homeless shelter on 4th Avenue? Oh yeah Josephine said one sentence about the shelter so CB10 thought that was sufficient?! There was no letter writing campaign started then!
Where were the letter writers when a secret lobbyists was able to make big bucks by putting a school on 86th Street? No letter writing was encouraged then.
And score again:
Where were the letters at Andrew Gounardes for failing to inform the community that afterschool funding was cut by the state last Spring? Gounardes didn’t do anything when the funding was cut!
Where was this person(s) when lobbyists were ruling in our community?
Give us a break CB 10 and talk about real issues in this community (or step down so other people can).

For years, the grocery store was closed:

Now a CTown is going to open in this space and Sunset Park residents are hoping for affordable prices.
