The Peril of the Birds, Plus Election Aftermath — The Hook-Up 4/22

As you’re surely all aware, Bernie’s best electoral NYC performance took place in Greenpoint. What you don’t know is that Ted Cruz’s also did. He didn’t just win by one vote, though. He won with one vote. Yeah, just read the thing.
Re: shutting down Riker’s Island: the city’s looking into it. But apparently it’s looking at Greenpoint as a potential site for a new satellite jail where it can transfer inmates.
The latest news in the L Train saga is that the city is setting its sights on 2019 as closure time. But things are still inconclusive.
