Not judging but will residents of this block take a live and let live approach when seeing this? I think our 2 Republican mayors have rid the city of just about anything alternative by taking away the homes and neighborhoods where an event like this would be embraced. As with the poor, the artists and those not seeking a 9-5 life there is no place left in Manhattan to call home.
