I Shouldn't Laugh, But...
The often thought-provoking Sugar Hill Harlem Inn blog, which provides insight into running a small nabe business as well as social commentary, may have stumbled a bit with intellectual integrity. A reader points out a funny juxtaposition.
In a post criticizing a flyer Columbia issued regarding the Manhattanville expansion, the Sugar Hill Harlem Inn concludes by writing about Columbia's proposed parking plan:
Why would Columbia build car parks when the subway is right there?If you want to protect the environment,how do cars get to be in this picture?Aren't cars the biggest producers of greenhouse gas.This is supposed to be a school.What kind of uneducated moron wrote this? Columbia Goose Steps into Harlem
The title of the Inn's next post? Easy Parking near Sugar Hill Harlem Inn. 2nd edition
Hilarious.

I saw your comment on my blog yesterday and wanted to respond.
People who are coming to visit Harlem,ask me about parking so I have written a blog in order to facilitate that.I am in no way suggesting that people drive their cars to NYC,in fact I tell them that once the car is here there is little else they can do but park it.
It would be ridiculous for me to tell people to leave their cars home and take the train when they ask about parking in the neighborhood.
What Columbia is doing is holding up a banner marked "We're Green" and doing the exact opposite.The mayor is doing the exact same thing with his 30 year environmental plan.I am getting solar panels on my roof next week and my contractor has informed me that I may be the last residential building in NYC to do so.Why? Because they have implemented all these ridiculous bureaucratic changes that has made the process unaffordable.Not only that, the whole operation has taken 1 1/2 years to start a job that will take less than a week to install.If you wish to laugh at me that is fine,really, I have very thick skin,and I am glad to be a source of amusement but what is going on in this city and the country as a whole, is funnier.We are headed for the most disastrous event since the beginning of human history and instead of putting on the breaks we are turning up the throttle.
