Excerpt from A Plain Statement, Addressed to the Proprietors of Real Estate, in the City and County of New-York
A plan for this city, it is well known, has been made by commissioners appointed for that pur pose by the Legislature of this State, and is exhi bited on the map commonly called the commis sioners' map. Supposing this plan to be perfect, as respects the courses, widths and distances of the avenues and streets, still it' cannot safely be acted upon until the future alterations necessary to be made in the present surface of the ground be accurately ascertained. One great object in laying out the island was, to enable individuals to know where to place their buildings, without dan ger of having them removed at some future day.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book exposes the history of real estate development in New York City, chronicling the often-corrupt ways in which New York's city council has used its power to dramatically alter the landscape and character of its most populated borough. The author, a citizen upset about the way in which the city's aldermen and common council have planned and executed the regulation of city streets and avenues, provides evidence that much of the negative impact on residents' property has been unnecessary. The writer also details the political dynamics at play that led to these negative outcomes. The book concludes by proposing reforms meant to redistribute the burden of public works projects more equitably.
