		<description>Esimo, 
 
I&#8217;ve read your comment at least 10 times and couldn&#8217;t help but identify personally with everything you stated. It&#8217;s unfortunate that such a small segment of the population votes in an individual that can demonstrate the apathy he has over the years. 
 
However, I&#8217;m reminded of something my mother would say, &#8220;Time has a way of settling the score&#8221; and that &#8220;No one ever leaves this Earth without making payment in full&#8221;. 
 
Fortunately, we can leave things to a higher power. 
 
Al Vann will, at some point, come to terms with where his heart has been about his role as a leader in his community&#8230;and what he could have been to his community. </description>

		<description>I agree with you. After living next months of noise problems being generated by the residents of a large HUD, section 8 building on my corner. I called Vann several times and received an answering machine on each occassion. Finally, I left my contact information and someone (not Vann) called me back. He generously suggested I call 311, which, of course, I had already done, and that was all he could suggest. 
 
Really? There&#8217;s nothing you can do about people breaking the law in a property where the owner/operator profts are 100% subsidized. In any case, I spent a few hours over a couple of days and was able to threaten the right person to make the noise stop. 
 
And as far as the reports &#8211; cut and paste from other studies &#8211; they simply reiterate statistics that any person who lives in Bed Stuy already knows &#8211; and experiences. No proposed solutions, only a proposal to create a committee. Typical. And so sad. 
 
These guys have no shame that they are busy reproducing the do-nothing clubby structure of the people they vilify &#8211; Republicans. Certainly, they will not be receiving my vote. 
 
Thanks for your many informative posts. </description>

		<description>Michael: 
Thank you for your stalwart efforts. You have more patience than I, to deal with these puppets; and their minions. 
 
Hit it Donny: &#8220;Take it from me; someday, we&#8217;ll all be free.&#8221;! 
 
Keeping hope alive. 
 
Peace.
