Resilience...

Image result for Mayor de blasio asks for 10 Billion dollars to extend Manhattan shores

Mayor Bill de Blasio unveiled a $10 billion proposal to bulk up lower Manhattan in an attempt to ensure the tip of the island is not wiped away amid climate change.

The results of a climate resilience study founds that by the 2050s, 37 percent of buildings in lower Manhattan will be vulnerable to storm surges.

In response, de Blasio said they would like to extend the shoreline into the East River by up to 500 feet or two city blocks.  

The Mayor has big plan with tens of billions of dollars to fix problems in 2050, while can't run a subway system or a six inches of snow that froze the city and the children in the street.
