I'm an ex-NYer so I will express an opinion too. I'm irritated they didn't just leave the fucking thing alone. Paula Zahn can kiss my ass as can any of the other tenants who complained. Pigeons shit all over NYC, big deal. Peoples delicate sensibilities get thrown out of whack when they see the occasional half eaten carcass of a pigeon but they can walk by homeless people unperturbed. Be thankful any wildlife can make its habitat in such an unnatural environment. The one thing I don't miss about NY is a desire for insularity on the part of some residents from animistic behaviors that might offend their urban sensibilities. I knew one NYer that used to think milk was a manufactured product like Coke! He was a trader at Goldman Sachs and a generally intelligent person. He had driven by dairy farms in upstate NY and Vermont and yet still somehow never made the connection. I also knew a NYer who thought that if you went someplace like OK or NM if you went outside of town an Indian might actually scalp you but that isn't related to the point I'm making. I just throw it out there as an example of insularity on some residents parts from anything outside their man-made urbane environment.
