Yeah perhaps your right. 96th st is when it all goes ghetto. Depends where you are though.

Its the only real park near business-midtown madhattan! And it puts on some pretty cool events and has a bar!

Public access rooftop parks on all the buildings could really change things. But, yes, that's about as likely as regular Graf Zeppelin departures and arrivals on the Empire State Building.

Hey Kojak - I thought the Mason-Dixon line was 96th Street!

This is why I like working around Central Park North. Its never crowded, its nicer up here than it is down there, and everyone assumes they'll get mugged/raped/etc above 86th street so they'll steer clear.

Maxine Teitler of Community Board 5 says Manhattan “doesn’t have a lot of green space, and the city keeps giving permits to build enormous buildings that are putting pressure on all of New York’s infrastructure, especially the parks.” Handing out permits, and collecting the fees is easy for city government. They don't even need to oversee if the rules and regulations that pertain to granting permits are even followed! Providing adequate public park space to New Yorkers is hard - so politicians hem and haw and make excuses, and point fingers, and ultimately do nothing. But they've made good money on building permits and property taxes! And they're off to their weekend homes far away - and the rest of us are fighting for a seat on a bench or a small patch of grass.
