In Brooklyn, the only reasonable way to get around is by car. Mass transit is designed to get into Manhattan and little more. I like to shop in Brooklyn Heights, but street parking can be complicated.

A major problem is all the government vehicles and private cars with various parking permits littering the streets.

Maybe they should move the courts to Canarsie or something.

A contractor's license is a joke. Any idiot can get one and, at least under normal circumstances, it can never be suspended or revoked, such as a driver's or real estate broker's, for instance.

The law must be changed.

I have seen Grasso's work in my neighborhood and all over Brooklyn. It is a horror story. But she isn't the only bad apple.
