For years the 86st BID has raped your pockets with their BID tax – and for what? Nothing! They have gotten their salaries and hid whilst you struggled for your business – They never anticipated the death of century 21 or the tombstones of for rent stores. Yet they sat back like fat cats and continued to tax you. During this crisis they continued to be paid – have you? Vote the 85st Street FAILED BID OUT – save your money – NO MORE TAXES!

Does anybody miss the festival, walks or parades?
We stated this a while ago, when the FAILED 3rd ave merchant association wanted to tax us with a BID – we asked “if we did not have the walks or festivals would it really matter? Well the social experiment was forced on us by this virus – and now that those events have been cancelled, we believe the facts state NO the events were not necessary or demanded by the majority of the businesses on 3rd ave. Dont get this wrong, we enjoyed the Ragamuffin parade, but after 40+ years it got tired and for the past years looked so. The festival and walks really are not missed as…

Only a BID will hail a major business closing as a GOOD Thing!
Protecting their OWN pockets while taxing us. The 86th street BID, that expensive failure that never stops taking your money wants us to believe that the “LINES around the block” are a good thing. In realty they are the people purchasing the discounted items from a CLOSING store that was the anchor for the area – once this store is gone – we dare say the rest of the 3 blocks of 86st will wither away – Modells is gone, now Century the largest stores – YET THE 86ST BID LIKE ALL BIDS STAFF HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL GOTTEN PAID – have you? ask condren that – has he gotten…

The death of 86th Street?
The death of 86st?? When a retail area relies on a single point for most of their foot traffic and build infrastructure around it while satellite stores feed off of it, its collapse can mean devastation – so may be 86st where Century 21 was by far the largest draw of foot traffic to the area. Traffic patterns, busses, trains all were geared to this single block of retail – NOW its gone. Only time will tell what will happen. HOWEVER, the 86st BID STILL will suck the pockets dry of the the avenue. Where were they during the crisis? What words of wisdom did they have for this problem…

No New Taxes
Do we need ANOTHER tax? A BID is a tax that can never be removed and always increases – Ask 5th ave and 86st how much they pay for a BID on their taxes. The BID got paid during this crisis – did you? They are guaranteed to collect their tax from you or you will be fined! What has the BID done for 86st now that century is leaving? nothing!!!!!!! 5th ave is no better after over $7 million spent! BIDS are like insurance – good until you need them, BIDS dont fight for you during the times you need it most – THINK – DURING THIS CRISIS WE…
