Those are the words used by our fine Mayor to describe the latest crane accident. This one, on the upper east side (91st and First to be exact, one block away from where Rambler used to have an F buddy), has left two dead and four hurt so far.
How many of these accidents do we need to have before our Mayor gets off his ass and actually does something other than express his verbal outrage? He has set the tone for these accidents with his develop everything everywhere mentality that is not only destroying the fabric of this city but is being done in such a sloppy fashion that should an earthquake hit this place it won't need to be a 7.0 to knock down half the town.
Ultimately I fear that these accidents really are just another sign of the continuing deterioration of quality and workmanship. Everyone is lazy and everyone takes shortcuts and we outsource everything. It's sad.

The towers always seem to be stuck in the already too dense eastern side of the east side. I call it Pincushion Planning. If there's highrise development, it should go where it's needed: the far west side (still zoned for manufacturing)and the waterfronts of Hunter's Point, Queens and Brooklyn)
He called the cats that climbed the NYT building "stupid" today.
