Friends of the Hudson River Park's attempt to raise millions of dollars to cut its deficit by designating it a Neighborhood Improvement District (or NID... WTF?) and taxing area residents is, well, taxing area residents. The Villager asks why neighbors?who would be asked to shell out for a park they may or may not use?haven't had greater input in the NID approval process (which ultimately rests with the City Council), while residential property owners themselves have penned an open letter protesting the injustice of the proposed levy.
