    Interesting, especially hearing about these neighborhood associations. I'd love to find out more about GAPCo, given that I live right there.

    whoa, about a month ago, whynot_31 predicted this would happen...

    The 77 pct does have radically different areas within it.

    Vanderbilt Ave vs Utica Ave

    It wouldn't surprise me if the pct was eventually reconfigured, and the wealthier sections served by the 78th.

    Arguably, this process may have begun when they gave the 78th the responsibility for the Barclays Arena. The arena was built on land in the 77th.

    I wish that they would have come all the way to the border and ended at Washington Ave. After so many stories of terrible experiences with the 77th, I'd much rather live in the 78th's jurisdiction. Maybe they're not friendlier or more effective, but at least we wouldn't have to schlep all the way to Utica. Every time something happens west of Washington, folks get the same 'we have bigger fish to fry' response from 77. Which, they probably of course do.. given the neighborhoods they're responsible for.

    When Washington looks like Vanderbilt, you may get your wish.
