A picturesque public green space full of flowers and art can make visitors forget they’re in lower Manhattan. But the plants could soon be pulled up and the trees cut down as the city makes way for new construction. Now the neighborhood has launched an effort to save the Elizabeth Street Garden. NBC New York’s Ida Siegal reports.

Green spaces help with mental health, property values, and community building. What's next, Central Park?!
There are THOUSANDS of empty lots all over the Bronx to "build" on. Poor Seniors have to live in Nolita?!
Terrible, again profit over people! Lets preserve this…sad
Rich residents versus poor people.
Shame on the city ❤
No affordable housing in nyc ❤
We want parks not affordable housing shame on Adam’s ❤
No affordable housing in manhattan ❤ we want parks ❤
Shame on them for trying to develop this land…. This should remain a park! ❤❤❤
The NBC reporter reads the prepared propaganda from the real estate developer as if it's "news." She says that the building will help fight the affordable housing crisis. What a dolt. The housing crisis in New York affect millions of people. The housing crisis in America affects many tens of millions of people, if not well over a hundred million or more. NBC should be ashamed of itself. It's 2024, not 1954. Information is not hand delivered by God.
SAVE THE GARDEN- SAVE ELIZABETH STREET GARDEN

Who did the developer pay?
Corporate greed wins again. Developers are going to make bank on this.
🙄 I can’t…
How about a compromise? Find a way to create a greenhouse-like structure to preserve the park but let people live above it? Parks built inside a building isn't something new and this would still allow the public to have their green space and seniors to live.
Are you serious 😭 this park is so nice and pretty😢
How does it feel to be in the democrat party which illegally targeted and incarcerated 500 hundred Americans for protesting a questionable election. Free the political prisoners that Biden's party and his government has jailed. He is the Definition of Fascism!!!!
My old street
They took a personal bribe to build there, who’s kidding who. There are vacant buildings all over the Bronx, abandons lots, and places that could be developed as homeless housing. There’s no justification for removing that beautiful park.
We need more housing, but not here lol.
