I've enlisted the kids in the neighborhood to let me know of the most recent demolitions. West 34th St. is the most recent victim of these random hits (Address 3872, south off Denison).
Creating these gaping holes is not how to save the city. [1] If there was some actual vision or plan to make use of these demolished properties, then I could see the rationale. To the people living with the bulldozers--it's as if someone has dropped a bomb on their street. (I will have to buy a digital camera to record the devastation a la Jeff Buster).
