I'm not going to bore people with minutiae, but I've tried to work with various folks from various Coney Island related groups and the experience has been dysfunctional at best and frustrating at worst.<br /><br />No group—and I mean literally no group—works together at all and it is indeed the same group of folks at each protest and not much else.<br /><br />It's so screwy that to me it feels as if there might be a few groups who are colluding with the city or even private developers to make sure that the groups stay splintered and ineffective.<br /><br />I personally think when the dust settles on this mess a few folks might be revealed to be not so pure in their intents.<br /><br />So to me, Coney Island is dead barring a financial scandal taking out Thor Equities or other such financial disaster.<br /><br />R.I.P.

Go ahead and attack me "I did this, I did that" I don't give a damn! Your organization is LAZY. I bet more than a 3rd of NY'ers didn't know what the hell was going to happen to Coney Island of when. There is power in numbers, and organization. We need to hit the streets in the HUNDREDS, WEEKLY. Not these once year protest you people have where nobody shows up. It looks pathetic and weak. <br /><br />If thousands of people rallied against this damn plan, I PROMISE the plan would have been WAAAY different. Instead, corporate monsters are taking it over and will DESTROY IT FOREVER, WATCH IT HAPPEN!!!! JUST LIKE THEY ARE DOING TO EVERY THING ELSE IN NYC, THAT IS THEIR PLAN! AND THE COUNTRY!!! AND THE WORLD!!!! Look at Shanghai China, It's Applebees, Apple Store, Chains, and more chains.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-49406300192565412532009-08-14T13:14:35.692-04:002009-08-14T13:14:35.692-04:00Nobody cares that's why this was approved. If ...Nobody cares that's why this was approved. If there were enough lobbyist sending letters and working a little harder this would never of happened. I don't think these Save Coney Island people worked hard enough. There were about 100 people at the protest, that's PATHETIC. <br /><br />There should have been THOUSANDS of protesters, but again, nobody was aware of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-82591727190252354272009-08-14T11:08:46.251-04:002009-08-14T11:08:46.251-04:00I love that flea market!
