I’m assuming this is a superimposed post-edited video right? It would be weird for sidetracks to manually zoom in and out and track people as they enter the bar.

Blaming the victim is no longer acceptable, haven’t you heard? The theives are the ones to blame, not their target.

3:40 am on Christmas Eve and people are in a bar? What a sad life they must lead.

3:40 am Christmas Eve, not on Xmas Day. Still sad, but fair game for the Hooded Pelican and the little Cindy Grinch to try and steal Christmas. That nose is the ultimate finger print.

Op-ed | New York’s ground lease co-ops: Our families can’t wait any longer 

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
