Let's say you gave me $1 billion dollars to get the job done. All the sudden the rules that poor people are constrained by have vanished.

I will pay each person $1000 per bale of mud, sticks, and logs, they can haul into Central Park. Cash. I will also contract them so that if law enforcement detains them, I will pay for their release and court costs, in Cash, and also continue paying them $1000 cash per bale of mud, sticks, and logs they can deliver into Central Park for me.

Police will be paid $1000 each day for not arresting anyone in my crew, and it is going to be a crew that will enlist many thousands of people, including eco-warriors because I will retrain their minds about all the credulous brainwashing they have acquired (by the rich old people/ aka, the resistance/ hippies)

The project will continue until I have built three 45 story mud huts in Central Park: one hut is above 97th Street, another one is on the Great Lawn, and the third will be near Columbus Circle. They will all be built of 100% natural materials so it's not like I'm taking away green space away from all the hippies like you guys.

My Central Command tower will be along CPW in a suite at the top of an undisclosed high tower.

From within the mud towers we will establish a technology and transportation hub with the most state of the art technologies for advancing New York City into a new futuristic urban world.

I'm sure Bozo thinks about it every day. One morning you'll wake up and find out he's planning the biggest 830 acre homeless shelter in the world in a "central location"

Lol

That reminds me of my communist cousin defended the mass deforestation of Ecuador because "it's a poor country and they need the money"

I know the whole “never say never” thing but they will never develop real estate on CP. Not when there are still

1) under developed parts of Manhattan and under developed parts near Manhattan (ex South Bronx, Downtown BK, LIC)
2) the ability to build upwards if building outwards is no longer an option. In many futuristic city visions, it’s always super tall housing complexes, with micro apartments for the poor and luxury ones for the rich, that dominate the skyline. You’re more likely to see rezoning to allow for taller and taller buildings than you would ever see housing inside of CP. We’re already seeing these micro apts pop up and much of downtown BK has been rezoned to allow massive apartment and condo complexes.

A billion is nowhere near enough to get what you’re talking about done and given that you’re unwilling or incapable of answering even some of the more basic questions about this proposal, it is highly unlikely you will be able to have even a billion on hand unless you inherited that billion (aka someone else’s money) in which case you will have pretty much flushed it down the drain. This has to be a troll thread, right?

While I usually refrain from being a grammar Nazi, I find some of these changed phrases used by the fetal set interesting, but also a pervasive problem that must be stopped before an entire generation grows into middle age sounding ignorant.

There is no phrase "All the sudden". The phrase you want is "All of a sudden".

There are also no such phrases as "for all intensive purposes", "a hard road to hoe", or "one in the same".

You are welcome.

Now back to our regularly scheduled goal of destroying the most famous urban park in the country.
