Does Mr. Capelli own your magazine too? seems a little biased imho

Could you please stop acting as a shill for Louis Capelli?

He's on a campaign to damage the Hudson Valley's main income source, TOURISM, by putting up skyscraper apartment blocks that resemble the 1960s projects built in city slums.

Clearly the expensive PR effort Streuver Fidelco Capelli put into getting their destructive development agenda--and Capelli's face--all over the Westchester media is paying off for them--at the expense of all the citizens whose lives will be negatively affected by their devastatingly ugly vision for the Hudson Valley waterfront.

You need to pay attention to what's happening along the Hudson River. The waterfront will no longer belong to the public. It will become the province of a rich minority...and an environmental disaster.

i applaud mr capelli for putting white plains on the map
living here resembles the best manhattan has to offer and the quality of life is better thanks to his development of a dead downtown area

i'd have to agree with outeast, his stuff did help white plains along.

even better, the proposal in yonkers is progressive (albiet profitable for him) and community friendly too. daylighting the saw mill river in larkin plaza? that's amazing!! or should we just keep it a run down parking lot for the DMV among several rundown buildings. new baseball stadium or chicken island parking lot? new hotel, or is the yonkers motor inn (and their day-rates) good enough?

how could all of these attractions possibly hurt tourism? no one goes to yonkers now, why not build a reason to come?

your comment about PR pay offs and media coverage is off too, because despite all that none of this has come to fruition.

The whole BOW awards have gotten pretty tainted over the years. My wife and I used to look forward to reading about them, but now it appears as just a ploy to get advertising dollars from the winners. Quite sad, as in theory, it is a great idea.

Mr. Cappelli has done his best to begin to transform downtown New Rochelle into a more vibrant area at a time when the surrounding area seemed to be heading downhill.
