You think you’re Jane Jacobs, but you’re Robert Moses

Mayor deBlasio: You are not even the good Robert Moses who created East River Park and the Verranzano-Narrows Bridge. You’re the bad Robert Moses, who wanted to tear the guts out of Greenwich Village for a highway, who did tear the guts of vibrant neighborhoods in the Bronx for the Cross Bronx Expressway.

Now you want to tear out the lungs and soul of the Lower East Side and East Village with a misguided, expensive flood control plan.
