Information About the Bay Ridge Homeless Shelter Came From the CB 10 Meeting

Late week, I shared what that Josephine from Community Board 10 said a homeless shelter will be at 6530 – 4th Avenue.

Some people thought I made that information up!

I would never write something here unless I had an official document to link to or someone reliable said it. That’s why I always share the links to the information (in this case, the Youtube video of the meeting).

A Bay Ridge resident trimmed the video:

Josephine from CB 10 relayed that she was told by the Department of Social Services about the shelter. Josephine said that they will be reaching out at an upcoming committee meeting to find out more about that location.

There were about 40 people at the CB 10 meeting and no one asked any questions about the homeless shelter.

On the Bay Ridge Talk’s Facebook page, a person asked about the shelter and linked to what I wrote. The moderator went off on me for spreading disinformation.

The manager of Community Board 10 would not make up information about a homeless shelter.

The moderator of the FB page said it was for veteran’s housing, which is different than the homeless shelter that Josephine announced.

I didn’t find any info about the shelter online. When I asked him for a link to the information, he didn’t provide one. Most people in Bay Ridge are super helpful when you ask a question.

Just so you know, there is no one to “check with” when you local politician is pushing a bill he was lobbied over. The lobbyist database is available to people look themselves! (City Lobbyist Database) (State Lobbyist Database)

There’s a lot of people who don’t want residents to know the truth. If you have been reading this blog for awhile, you know that.

I’ve been sharing the truth in this community for 14 years. We live here and people have a right to know what was said at a Community Board meeting.

Rally Against Homeless Shelter Gravesend 12/3

A rally against the homeless shelter being planned for 2501 – 86th Street will take place on December 3, 2023 at 3:00 pm.

Assemblyman Bill Colton wrote: “PLEASE JOIN SUSAN AND ME IN ALERTING THE COMMUNITY TO STOP A PROPOSED HOMELESS SHELTER FOR 150 SINGLE ADULTS AT 25th AVENUE AND 86th STREET.”

2501 – 86th Street is a corner property which sold in March. (Source)

From Traded NY (See Info)

The owners of the properties on 85th Street – behind this building may be upset. (See street view)

In 2022, Assemblyman Colton was successful at stopping a homeless shelter at 2147 Bath Avenue (See here) That location was in walking distance of two schools. CB 11 said that the location of the homeless shelter in that area violated zoning rules.

I am surprised this was not shared so parents of students traveling on the train knew.

Students would easily be able to see this man by his Jordans (very nice sneakers).

A Dyker Heights House People Forget to Visit

Most of the Dyker Lights are in the mid-80’s, but there are some special homes in Dyker Heights that people don’t know about:

a) 71st Street between 11th and 12th Avenue – this home reminds people to turn on their radio and see how the music and their home are synced together – very cool!

b) 14th Avenue and 79th Street is a house that shouldn’t be missed – so cool!

Is Justin Brannan Running For Congress? No.

NY Post’s story today is funny. (See here)

Councilman Brannan won in a super gerrymandered district by fear-mongering.

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis must have laughed when she saw this article this morning.

Brannan wouldn’t be able to win in Staten Island, where people know Nicole Malliotakis has their backs. It’s going to be hard for the Democratic Party to find someone who can go up against Malliotakis.

Edit: Districts will be redrawn if the Democrats win their court challenge. So if that happens, maybe he will run.
