Gounardes Pushed GetAround Car-Sharing on Bay Ridge And Was Silent About His Involvement
If you are looking for parking and can’t find a spot, you need to raise your voice towards Senator Andrew Gounardes. 718-238-6044
Community Board 10 only heard from one Car Sharing Company, GetAround Car Sharing, a California Company that had never done business in New York.
When Doris from CB 10 asked, “Why is there only one car-sharing company presenting? No one answered.

Andrew Gounardes should have told Community 10 that he was working with GetAround Car Share. #SomethingIsNotRightHere
Gounardes said, “We should be encouraging more car share.” If that were true, then Gounardes would have spoken about car sharing to the community, shared it on his social media or in his newsletters.
Yes, car sharing is good, if the company’s that are car sharing pay for their parking spot. Our streets are not a free parking lots for businesses.
GetAround has put a lot of money into lobbying. (See here) GetAround has lobbied in both NYC and NYS.
Andrew Gounardes drives a car. He can’t be anti-car because his office is in walking distance of his home, yet he doesn’t walk to his office. Gounardes has also never spoken up for the environment or air quality, so something is strange about him presenting for a California car-sharing program, rather than a NY business.
GetAround Car Sharing must not know that Gounardes has accepted money from the The Greater New York Dealers Assocation.
This is a political action committee that represents dealerships in Bay Ridge.
That political action committee boasts about their powerful voice in Albany:
Gounardes also accepted donations from Bay Ridge Automotive:
Community Board 10 also didn’t tell us that there are more cars than were previously mentioned. (I will share that soon and put a link here soon.)
Andrew Gounardes had a responsibility to tell our community of his involvement with GetAround. A government officials should not be representing any individual corporation.
People in Queens have been leaving me messages because they GetAround is taking parking spaces in their community and parking on the sidewalk as well.

This person wrote about GetAround’s stock going public. See it’s current market value here.
Can anyone logically explain to me why @Getaround dropped 95~% within 1 month of going public?

Cohorts up and to the right, strong take rate/margins, high ROAS/low marketing, path to profitability, $500MM+ from tier 1 investors and still death ? pic.twitter.com/Zarw9nxBRW

Why did Andrew Gounardes, who doesn’t have any experience in business think it was okay to push a California company on our community?
See pictures of Gounardes at GetAround‘s business event in Downtown Brooklyn, rather than representing someone or a business in our community. here.

Finally, is anyone else tired of Councilman Brannan playing stupid when he is asked about lobbyist’s projects in our community?
We need new leaders in Bay Ridge – ones who aren’t interested in dancing for lobbyists or corruption. like this.

Mayor Adams Marched With The Pride Center for St. Paddy’s Day in Staten Island
Mayor Adams went to Staten Island and marched with The Pride Center because the Pride Center was not allowed to march with their banner in the Staten Island St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
Former Mayor de Blasio never did that!
@NYCMayor today skipping Staten Island St. Patrick’s Day Parade which doesn’t allow #LGBTQ Organizations to march. Instead walked with @pridecenterSI for 8th annual @RainbowRunSI @NY1 pic.twitter.com/JBaL22hgcn
— Arnold Davick (@ArnoldNYCTV) March 5, 2023

One day in our lifetime, The Pride Center will be able to march in the parade because some strong Irish person associated with the parade will speak up.
Brooklyn and Staten Island senator, Jessica Scarcella-Spanton also marched with the Pride Center.

Renderings of a New Casino For Coney Island
CONEY ISLAND CASINO: The Coney Island Casino bid has released its first renderings. What else the venue will offer, and how one of the project’s close advisors believes it can revitalize the local economy – https://t.co/dBksaykO9Q pic.twitter.com/a9RNlHJb9P

Atlantic City is proof that casinos don’t help communities. Would you want to live in Atlantic City?
If you live in Coney Island and can vote against the Casino, please do because what you don’t realize is that some politician will have free lunch, but many Brooklynites will take gambling to the extreme and lose everything.

Why Do Jada Camille and Leigh Holliday Think Bay Ridge’s News Is the Councilman’s Wife’s Art Workshops?
Jada Camille is a journalist for the Brooklyn Paper. When she covers our community, every story sounds like it was handed to her from Councilman Brannnan.
Jada Camille, are the local paper’s stories supposed to be the politician’s choice?
Or should The Brooklyn Paper have reported about the hate crime that not one politician has shared with our community. (See here) Too bad Camille won’t report our news.
This week Jada Camille wrote about the Councilman’s wife, Leigh Brannan. Leigh Holliday started doing workshops at the bookstore.
There are many small businesses who do AMAZING workshops at that store and other stores in our community, but Jada Camille and other journalists have never reported about them!
Yet, Leigh Holliday Brannan and Jada Camille thought that was headline news for Bay Ridge this week. It’s strange that Leigh Holliday Brannan didn’t think that any other business in Bay Ridge could have used that media boost. How about one of the new shops or stores that is struggling to pay the rent and survive, Leigh?
Councilman Brannan knows that there are many businesses who have never received his support in Bay Ridge – most of them!
It’s too bad that Brannan hasn’t highlighted new Bay Ridge businesses on his social media like this:
Leigh Holliday Brannan has been political in the past. She told us that Justin was the right person for the job. When she saw that her husband’s friend did the “lobbying,” even though he isn’t a registered lobbyist with NYC and he made banked a lot of money, why hasn’t she stood up for Bay Ridge and told us to vote for someone else.
Strangely, when businesses were being robbed for over a month this past Fall, neither Brannan or the Brooklyn Paper told us! Loudlabs (a Youtuber) told the community! Later on, newspapers like The Daily News (See here) and others (See here) had to tell the community because Jada Camille didn’t think it was newsworthy.
It’s strange that he would think promoting his wife’s workshops in the newspaper OVER other businesses is okay.
Jada Camille could have asked Leigh Holliday Brannan about the school at Nathan’s and how a man made money on “choosing that location.” Why didn’t Justin Brannan let us know who was banking money from the placement of our school.
Jada Camille could have interviewed Community Board 10 members, who didn’t like me questioning them about they approved the location of a public school by the father of private school parent.
Why didn’t Jada Camille ask Leigh Holliday Brannan how much do lobbyists, like the red light camera company, Verra Mobility give to politicians?
Years ago, the Bay Ridge Democrats told us that Justin Brannan was against lobbyists. Jada Camille can interview the Bay Ridge Democrats and ask them why they are supporting Leigh’s husband now that he has pushed lobbyists bills in our community.
It’s too bad that Jada Camille didn’t ask Leigh Holliday Brannan about redistricting and how an unfair district for Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights was made for Justin.

We are glad that these crazy district lines brought more candidates to the table to challenge the lobbyist-loving politician!
I have never written about Leigh Holliday Brannan before, but today she and husband thought it was alright to get the “free advertising” from the local paper and Jada Camille didn’t see anything wrong with it, so I wrote because it’s not right.
Everyone in Bay Ridge is tired of the corruption, Jada Camille! When will the Brooklyn Paper write about it?

Covid Tests on 86th St in Bay Ridge Are Not Free

A good neighbor named Des shared that the Covid Testing tent pm 86th Street and 4th Avenue says their Covid tests are free, but then they charged her insurance $450.00 per test.
Here’s the problem: Des got denied from her primary insurance and a partial coverage letter from my secondary. So she will probably have to pay $100 for what was supposed to be “a free test.”
They shouldn’t be able to do this! Des did report them, but she wanted everyone in the neighborhood to know so they don’t get charged. Thanks for the heads up Des!
Was this what these places were charging NYC?
