"Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, who requested the bill, touted the benefits of having a definitive resource to account for the city’s plague of empty storefronts as ever climbing rents push out mom-and-pop small
businesses"

But of course you know more than those there

7th and 8th is not Bleecker, IQ 65. Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, and Brunello Cucinelli are all gone. In their stead, we've got Lingua Franca, Bonberi, Hill House Home, Margaux, the Daily Edit, St. Frank, Huckberry, Naadam, Slightly Alabama, Buck Mason, Ann Marie Murray's, and Paul Arnhold’s handblown glassware. Small brands, many of them women run, paying half the rent (or less) of those deceased luxury chains, and all with devoted customer bases. That is just the portion of Bleecker in the Village. There are many such revivals in the last 6 months. I don't know what YOU do, but whatever it is, I'm sure no one retains YOUR services considering your struggle with basic reading comprehension. As to Gale Brewer, yes, most people know more than her. Even mildly retarded folk. Not sure you do, though...
