Fulton BID Gaining Momentum

With an end finally in sight for the infrastructure and repaving work that has plagued the already-down-on-its-luck stretch of Fulton Street in Clinton Hill, momentum is building for a new Business Improvement District to help improve the quality of life and retailing environment. There’s a meeting tonight at the Fort Greene Senior Citizens Council, 966 Fulton Street (between St. James Place and Grand Avenue) at 6:30 p.m. tonight hosted by Council Member Letitia James. Update: Thanks to cobblehller for providing this link to information on the proposed BID. Importantly, the site states that the BID is to cover the entire stretch of Fulton from Flatbush to Classon as well as some side streets.
“hey don’t see it What. These guys have money or they have family to back them up. They don’t care, it’s an inconvenience to them, it’s not a ‘problem’.”
Wow Cobblehiller, you’re right! I forgot most of these Asshats don’t know what’s going on. Thanks for that I really appreciate it. It shows how out of touch people are..
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
They don’t want to pay the 80 bucks, cause that’s the day rate for one of their “messengers”
ENY: You know better? Doubt it. Don’t pretend you know somehting you don’t.
ROTW: You are the poser. Pretending to know what is going on in the area when you left years ago. You ran away to NJ when times got tough. Now you see that things are changing and you really can’t deal with it. It scares you. SO you hide behind the MAB and America getting “ripped off”. You have nothing to add to the conversation so get back on your meds, get back in your cave and STFU.
As for meeting face-to-face, you have had chances and you passed. You don’t have the balls to show up to a brownstoner meeting.
“… that shows your are clueless. Please stay in Lodi…
Here’s a good story on the BID:

As most stores have less than 20 feet of frontage, $80/month doesn’t seem unreasonable to me. Fulton needs all the help it can get!
“The only businesses that don’t want the bid are the ones who have nothing to gain from an improved retail environment, e.g., the cheezy bodegas that do a nice business selling drugs to the crackheads that “live” in the hotels near Fulton and Classon.”
This is based on your own exhaustive investigative survey, I presume.
OK, back to reality. Wasder, you had the right idea a few posts ago: since you’re friendly with the guys at your deli, just ASK them why they’re against the BID and see what they have to say.
They don’t see it What. These guys have money or they have family to back them up. They don’t care, it’s an inconvenience to them, it’s not a ‘problem’.
“You know Dave, African Americans always pay higher prices. We pay taxes and don’t receive the services. Our food is old and out dated. Police and Fire are slow to respond. And we have to put being Second Class Citizens. Welcome to the Ghetto….”
And its that kind of stupidity and lack of initiative on your part that keeps you there. BID…NO! We don’t want any improvement.
Plain stupid you are.
The major lending institutions have ripped off America to the tune of trillions of dollars! Get mad about that you bunch of misguided Asshats!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
