If this is something that would bother me, then I'm doing something wrong in my life.

It definitely looks wrong and is not aesthetically pleasing, but hey, I live in Queens and have to see Fedders buildings and those horrible places that are built with ugly terraces that people treat as an outdoor junk closet, so a decoration in the wrong place is not something I would go all crazy about.

My reaction when I read the article was that it was a big deal over nothing. Although it's true, the logical location for the tree would have been on the A...

Even a great city like New York is susceptible to the socialist agenda whose objective
is to remove all forms of religion from public view at any cost and under any disguise.

Wreath over the O would have been aesthetically pleasing and totally non-denominational. Not sure why they needed to add the tree..

Like Wapo, The nyt is woke. Nyt can fine something offensive based on sexual or racial themes. I don't find it upsetting. The Port Authority should have done a better job installing decorations. Instead the day the placed the decorations looks like it can spark a sjw outrage. Someone who is well versed in the industries of academia, publishing, media, journalism and entertainment which are the dominate industries in nyc will find offense to the decorations.

I read it. Problem is that the decor does not line up with symmetry. Not for nothing. It makes no sense to add decor to those words. Just leave the wording where it is. On the flipside. I don't think people she be outraged by a little bit of holiday cheer and bantor. I know NYC area is full of grammar-nazi, and again nothing wrong with being a grammar-nazi or a thought police. It's just the sign of the times we are currently in. It's also refreshing that the port authority is cooperating with residents with having a vote on matter about the decor. Anyway. Merry Christmas.
