So Leave Already

The voters of Peekskill have just received a threat in the mail. It came in the form of a glossy letter from Martin Ginsburg, the head of the eponymous Ginsburg Development Companies (GDC), who has carpeted the little city with expensive housing developments and seeks to add another one—a 136-unit waterfront community called The Abbey.
In the “open letter,” Ginsburg advises the local electorate that they better not vote for Mary Foster, a Democratic candidate for mayor, because she is a critic of his luxury projects and favors affordable housing. Instead, Ginsburg writes, voters should elect Republican Bill Schmidt and a slate of other favored candidates for city council.
Foster, Ginsburg condescendingly sneers, “does not get it.”
“While Westcheser has a severe affordable housing shortage,” he goes on, “Peekskill does not. In fact, much of the housing stock in Peekskill meets the definition of affordable. What Peekskill desperately needs is more market rate housing to bring up the income demographics in the city in order to attract more businesses downtown.”
Translation: Peekskill needs to get rid of its lower middle class and the best way to do it is to drive up the cost of real estate. It’s called gentrification.
But the best part is the threat Ginsburg makes if Foster should win. “Quite frankly, I would see no future for Peekskill and I would have no choice but to pack up and leave,” he says.
The letter disclaims any connection to Schmidt’s campaign, but clearly this tells you who’s really running Westchester these days. It’s the high rolling developers with their wads of money.
I don’t think Ginsburg should leave Peekskill. No, that would be too good for him. After mailing this letter, he deserves to be run out of town on a rail.
I got the Ginsburg missive in the mail anonymously. Using a black marker, the sender scrawled the following words across the text—“pompous, greedy, arrogant, self-serving, B.S.’
To that, I add, Amen.

Phil Reisman is a veteran journalist and native of Westchester County. He began his career in 1977 as the head copy boy of a startup New York City newspaper that quickly went belly up. Reisman was not to blame for the newspaper's failure, or so he claims.
Pack up and leave? What’s to pack? He sees Peekskill from a speeding limo or occasionally from the window of a mahogany- paneled room filled with jumbo shrimp and single-malt scotch. Maybe he wants to take the left-over shrimp.
“The rich been doing it to the poor since the beginning of time. The only difference between the Pyramids and the Empire State Building is the Egyptians didn’t allow unions. I know what this guy is all about, greed. He don’t give a damn. He’s in and out for the buck and he don’t take prisoners.” This quote seems apropos for this item. Okay Ball, who said it and what movie.
You should have the letter dusted for fingerprints. They’ll prove to be Mary Foster’s. Ginsburg just gave the City 40 acres of property. GAVE, Phil, GAVE. If he were all about greed, he wouldn’t have done this. He had the right to develop those 40 acres. He was good corporate citizen. You want to run him out of town on a rail? Only after you and Mary Foster have suffered the same fate. Lear put it well: “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child.”
