Refurbishing and repurposing areas of the city that DON’T need it, while ignoring those areas that DESPERATELY need rehabilitation is incomprehensibly selfish. Is this really the legacy that Mayor Masters wants? A city that puts cars over community?

Sales of electric cars and trucks are taking off, and billions of dollars are being invested to build factories. The race is on to recycle used lithium-ion batteries –– but few will be available to reuse for a decade or more. nyti.ms/3PKLZoz
