On the Sofa: GL Reader Comments

Every week, we highlight a few comments that have been left by readers during the previous week. Here are this week's choices:

Conflict Over Carroll Gardens "Town Hall" Meeting. "That is crap, as a cb6 member I heard about the town hall we before the last min meeting was schedule by CB6. I know because it was not on the original Aug. Calander. Our council member is trying to Downzone Carroll Gardens and you people are giving them shit. Please do not screw this up for the rest of us who want to see CG preserved." [tagray1]

Thor Spokesperson Says Developer Needs "Defending." "I disagree that it would be in their best interests to try to correct any mis-statements or mis-assumptions on a partisan blog because the posts on such forums often (regrettably, almost always?) devolve to the lowest form of name-calling and accusation all too rapidly. I actually think it's rather bold that this rep even made the statement he did on the blog in question..." [Rich]

Red Hook Food Vendors Respond to Health Department Enforcement. "I'm really suspicious about this bout of sanitary concern. For one, while the DoH has been banging on at the ballfield vendors, a semi regular vending operation (food and non-food), seems to have cropped up on the Western driveway in Prospect Park, and it doesn't seem to have been accompanied by legions of sinks. Though to be honest I'm not sure what their agenda is, unless its that the idea of an ad hoc, yet slightly institutionalised operation on this nature strikes them as somehow untidy." [Gringcorp]
