Early Addition: Oh Lorde
Because you can't throw a concert for hundreds of people in Washington Square Park without a permit or porta-potties or anything, here are your early links: Barron Trump's Xbox friends, Ice Bucket Challenge for the mental, slow buses on Staten Island and more.
Good Wednesday morning in New York City, where maybe we could let churches build housing.
Here's what else is happening:
Mayor Adams on Andrew Cuomo yesterday: "He’s taking votes away from me — I’m the mayor! Why is he in my race?"
The city's Department of Transportation has said that "daylighting," or banning parking on the corners of intersections, actually leads to more crashes because drivers speed when they have a clear line of sight. It's actually more complicated than that.
In Greenpoint, $10,000 a month can get you a luxury waterfront apartment with mice, weird noises and broken gym equipment.
Staten Island buses are slow and they're making people miss the ferry.
Last night's unsanctioned Lorde show in Washington Square Park got shut down by the cops because ... it wasn't sanctioned ... but Lorde still eventually showed up to say hi.
Barron Trump isn't allowed to give people his phone number so he chats with his friends over Xbox.
Barron's dad greeted little kids at the White House Easter Egg Roll by showing them a commemorative card with the image of him getting shot in the ear.
They're doing the Ice Bucket Challenge again, but this time it's for mental health.
