A decade after promises were made to fortify the area following <em>Superstorm Sandy</em> in 2012, residents express frustration over the lack of progress in flood mitigation efforts, contrasting it with significant investments in areas like Lower Manhattan&#39;s &quot;Big U&quot; project. Historically, urban planner <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Moses">Robert Moses</a> envisioned the Rockaways as a place for the city&#39;s poor, leading to public housing projects and numerous empty lots today. The city&#39;s Department of Housing Preservation and Development (<a href="https://www.nyc.gov/site/hpd/index.page">NYC HPD</a>) acknowledges the delays and challenges in implementing the &quot;Resilient Edgemere&quot; plan, particularly the dropped project to raise the shoreline along the bay. Despite these setbacks and the constant threat of flooding, residents like Jackie Rogers, who cultivates &quot;The Garden by the Bay&quot;, and Baba Ndnanani, who survived Sandy by sleeping on his refrigerator, remain determined to stay, highlighting the deep community attachment and the socio-economic factors that prevent many from relocating.</p> </section> <section> <p> <small><em>The post <a href="https://viewing.nyc/video-inside-new-york-citys-forgotten-coast/">[VIDEO] Inside New York City's Forgotten Coast</a> appeared first on <a href="https://viewing.nyc/">Viewing NYC</a></em></small> </p> </section> </div> </article> tag:viewing.nyc,2005:/categories/news/feed/1f1238df-47fb-4fc8-b7ee-521add59eb5d 2022-06-29T09:02:13-04:00 2026-03-29T19:34:55-04:00
