Parole Facility Planned Next Door to St. Ann's School

The U.S. Attorney’s Office is planning to open a major parole facility at 147 Pierrepont Street, a Ratner-owned property located between the lower and middle school buildings of St. Ann’s School in Brooklyn Heights. The new center, which would consolidate two existing parole offices in the Downtown area, is slated to serve 1,700 Federal parolees and be manned by armed guards, according to an email from a member of the school community. A call to Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez’s office revealed that she and other public officials are trying to schedule a press conference at some point in the future to protest the location of the new facility. They better get moving: The new space (pictured on the jump) is supposed to be open for business as early as mid-August, just in time to welcome the kids back to school. UPDATE: This statement just in from Congresswoman Nydia M. Velázquez: Locating a parole office just steps away from a school is extremely troubling. Anything that puts the security of our children at risk is unacceptable. Before all other considerations, their safety must be the top priority.GMAP
This is not a serious issue? Really? What is? Fedders units vs. central AC? Ceiling heights?
Next time you are trying to gather an angry mob to protest an ugly building going up on your block, don’t look to me to get out my pitchfork.
9:53 – If you’re talking about the clinic in CH, I have never had a problem with anyone that clinic. I had one person, who looked to be a patient, ask me where it is and I was glad to help. I bet you the majority of the people in CH don’t even know its there. Addiction is not a crime, it’s a disease. Not treating it and throwing people into the penal system (where apparently drugs are just as easy to procure) for their addiction is a crime. The costs of treating an addict in a clinic vs. the cost of imprisoning him/her are significantly less, maybe if our asshat politicians knew this we wouldn’t have overcrowding in our prison systems.
You can hide a ton of weed in a corset, especially if you know how to strait-lace.
Fugly architecture. Where are the half-balconies?
There goes fsrq again, using facts and reason (at 11:44). Where does s/he get off with that sh!t?
And corset building.
St Ann’s absolutely teaches Latin. Greek too.
