ICYMI--FROM THE NEW "CROTON.NEWS" SITE--ZBA INTERPRETS 1931 ANIMAL CODE--FOWL MEANS ANY BIRD, PIGEONS, COOPS CAN STAY NEAR PROPERTY LINES

A reminder---site is AI-driven. Corrections can occur.



The Croton Zoning Board of Appeals spent its June 16 meeting parsing a single sentence of village code that dates to 1931, ultimately issuing interpretations on what qualifies as a domestic animal, what counts as fowl, and whether birds can be kept near property lines.

MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS ARE STILL PAYING THE PRICE FOR THE BLACK LIVES MATTER RIOTS

Six years since Democrats allowed Black Lives Matter rioters to rage through Minneapolis, city residents are still (quite literally) paying the price.

Market valuations for downtown Minneapolis commercial buildings have dropped by about $3.4 billion from 2021 to 2026, or about 45%, according to Minneapolis City Councilman Michael Rainville, who said that the number is still dropping. According to Rainville, “every renter, every homeowner, every small business building owner outside downtown is making up for that with their property tax.” MORE AT Minneapolis residents are still paying the price for the Black Lives Matter riots

TRENDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Many of us are not on social media but we get to hear about it periodically and are sometimes sent screenshots...not going to spend a lot of time on all this---it's Saturday after all----but.... trending at the moment:

***SOME REALLY CLEVER, and downright hysterical memes about life in general, ON THE NEVER ANONYMOUS CROTON FB page

***SOME REALLY BRUTAL, but very funny memes regarding the opening of the Obama Library; we'll let them do the talking; there's so much out there, you'll have no trouble finding it all.

***Folks having a high old time bashing the heck out of the new ODYSSEY movie and the bizarre casting choices---admittedly, there's some guilty pleasure in viewing a few of the more creative fb memes out there and there's some genuinely funny stuff on youtube too: EverythingCroton: HYSTERICAL--THE NEW ODYSSEY--PAGE AS ACHILLES

***Here comes the housing--much chatter about the erosion of SEQRA, what it may mean to "pro-housing communities---like Croton...etc. etc. etc....you'll have to find it all on your own....just too much madness to wade through--but there's this: EverythingCroton: BYE-BYE---"REFORMING SEQRA"----GOV. HOCHUL SIGNS LEGISLATION TO EXPEDITE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN NEW YORK

***Bots, bots, everywhere a bot---not to mention fake and anonymous posters ALL OVER FACEBOOK--- some sites are just overrun--and then there's almost a manic desperation to the Trump, Lawler, Israel, USA hatred---and anti-Conley stuff too----most of it is largely ignored--possibly because most real people recognize crap when they see it and feel no need to jump in.

***Much discussion about how wonderful and "pro-USA" some of the nearby towns and villages look for the 250th---Croton? No so much.....it is what it is.
