Comment Of The Day: Why Go Through All This?

A reader left the following comment on the post "A Carroll Gardener Furious At Mayor Bloomberg's Anti-Superfund Stance":

The major impetus for the City's plan is for the developers, not for the community. It is Developer Toll who said it is against Superfund because of the "stigma" it will bring to the scam they wanted to pull off that the Gowanus is great waterfront property as is so that they can put their mega condo development here. City Planning gave them the spot rezoning regardless of the outcries from the community that this was not appropriate for Gowanus - esp. since it is so toxic as well as other environmental issues. The City has NO EXPERIENCE with the clean-up Gowanus needs and the EPA will give.The City's fall back plan is that the EPA can take over if the City fails -it also puts more of the co$t of NYC taxpayers. Why do we need to go through all this? Give us EPA Superfund, please!
