    Not sure what you mean by “comments got turned off”. there’s no one censoring bfd, Ed.

    Well, G, that’s good to hear. The comments were turned off, though. (Is it possible I did that inadvertently?)

    Anyway, the last thing I want to do is jeopardize BFD, and John E has already warned me that my commentaries come across too strident at times. So, it’s probably a good idea for me to put these types of notes over at Map the Mess.

    Just so you understand the background, Carla Rautenberg alerted me with the following e-mail yesterday:

    Dear Ed,

    Your BFD commentary should be published in the P.D., the Scene, Crains and the Sun Papers. I wanted to say as much on BFD but the “Comments” were “Closed”. Don’t know what that means, but I do know the information you present should be much more widely disseminated.

    And just to pile on, here’s a thought. When we get the 1/4% sales tax revoked, a big chunk of the tax already collected (that hasn’t been stolen by the commishes) could go to Jim Rokasis’s county land bank.

    Anyway, very good work and more people need to know about it!

    What a mess! But you know what’s going to happen. New York City will go ahead and build a Med Mart that, even in this horrible economy, will manage to make the city money.

    Anything’s possible, Ed. The default is that comments for posts are on. I didn’t change it, but there’s no accounting for technology sometimes. I wish I could keep a watchful eye on BFD all the time (like I used to) but my listening post on the internet is pretty busy these days.
