[quote=Anonymous]Cash, weapons and a valuable product, I mean what could go wrong, amirite?!!! Just what the Connecticut corridor needs! Overnight robberies and robberies of delivery trucks are obvious vulnerabilities. Visible drug dealing and use is already up, including near Forest Hills Playground yet many of the current ANC supported this being brought in.

There was no reason to hold that ANC meeting since PillPlus had a valid lease for the space in question, it was just a chance for VNMS and ANCs to signal support for a dispensary.

No one is speaking up for residents - homeowners, paying renters and voucher renters who do not cause issues - to live in a peaceful and safe community. As businesses close, more poor are brought in and the hotel no longer seems to cater to business travelers, who will support the remaining small local businesses? What is going to stop the spiral? Why haven't ANC and/or Frumin taken steps to resolve bureaucratic delays re: the MOMs in Van Ness opening since that would be a draw to the neighborhood of people who might also have lunch, etc. nearby?

Will the community ever be told why the gunman had an electronic key to The Saratoga despite not being a resident? And what is being done to increase proactive security measures? Fairly sure the answers are "no" and "nothing."

Is Frumin supporting Pinto's newest public safety bill? If he is, why won't his office say so? I take the non-response and lack of a public statement as a "no." [/quote]
