Senator Chu’s Meeting About the 86th Street Shelter Now in August
Update: Senator Chu said they met with NYC (not with Eric Adams) and she requested a community meeting about the shelter. The NYC office said they would get back to her, but they did not say how long it would take to get back to her. (See video in English and Chinese) TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.
Senator Chu’s Meeting did not move anything forward. The Department of Homeless Services was quoted on Channel 1 News:
Senator Iwen Chu loaded a video to Youtube on August 27, 2024.
The name of the video is: Community Meeting about 86th Street.
That is not a community meeting. This is 13-15 people talking in Senator Chu’s office. A community meeting last year would have been helpful when the shelter was announced.
Senator Chu didn’t want to share information about the homeless shelter last year. She didn’t stand up for the people – they have been working hard to protest at the shelter for months!
If a family shelter was planned here, things would be A LOT different! If Iwen took action in the beginning, then this could have happened.
We have the same type of politicians in Bay Ridge. Like Iwen Chu, Andrew Gounardes and Justin Brannan avoided the hard conversations about a homeless shelter. This has made people more afraid and angry because politicians aren’t representing the community.
It’s odd that Senator Chu recorded a private meeting at her office and put online!
Today, Wednesday, August 28th, Senator Chu was scheduled to meet with the New York City Department of Homeless Services. Senator Chu was going to share the community’s opposition of a homeless shelter with that department. Why didn’t Senator Chu do this in 2023 when the homeless shelter was announced? If Chu had responded early enough, they may have made changes because plans weren’t made then.
The other day, Senator Chu released a petition about the shelter. It wasn’t a petition against the shelter – it was a petition against the transparency only.
It’s election season so Senator Chu is trying to take photos and videos for her campaign. Will the community be fooled?
Iwen Chu is facing a lot of criticism because she hasn’t stood up for the community she represents. So now she is going to take pictures and videos to fool you and make it look like this a concern.
Meanwhile, Chu’s opponent, Steven Chan isn’t afraid to have the hard conversations. He’s been working with the community for a long time. See (Steven Chan’s website). This website also wrote about Senator Chu not taking action until now. (See here)

NYPD Catching Bus Fare Evaders in Bay Ridge
For years, almost half the people riding NYC buses have not been paying their fare! (See story) This week NYC papers and other outlets are covering the story, usually fare invasion isn’t covered widely.
This week, they are policing the fare on Staten Island buses that come to Bay Ridge.
“Bus riders that don’t pay the fare will be escorted off of the bus at stops staffed by NYPD officers, who could issue a summons ranging from $50 to $100 and, in some cases, make an arrest.”(Source)
A lot of social media is against people paying a fare for the bus! People think it should be free, so liberals are writing: Tax the rich. It’s so bizarre that they don’t feel they should pay for their transportation.
Pay your fare.

Bay Ridge Iman Goes Negative – We Need Him To Lead and Stay Positive

Pic from Video
A video from August 12th shows an iman calling on Allah to liberate Palestine from the occupiers and plunderers. The iman was speaking at the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge on 5th Avenue and 68th Street in Bay Ridge. (NY Post)
It’s sad to see a religious leader like imam Sheikh Muhammad Al-Barr, go negative. He is human and he’s angry that people from his country have been at war for ten months. He’s angry that so many people (and children!) have been killed.
But as a leader, this imam can’t go negative because other people are absorbing that message and it will hurt his community.
The video can be (seen here) and you can use Google Translate to translate from Arabic to English. (See here)

Artichoke Bastille Pizzeria Closed in Bay Ridge
Photo: Jessica R.
Artichoke Bastille Pizzeria on the corner of 4th Avenue and 91st Street has closed.
In the past, the pizzeria closed and then reopened. This time the signs were removed (they are on the sidewalk in the photo above).
Demolition was started inside to get the storefront ready for another business.
If you miss the large slices at Artichoke Bastille’s, you can still enjoy it at one of the three locations in Manhattan – there is one at 111 MacDougal Street.
