No More Deals

I am writing in opposition to the proposed residential project on the site of the Dockers restaurant on Dune Road in East Quogue [“East Quogue Residents, Environmental Advocates Condemn Condo Proposal at Dockers Site,” 27east.com, November 8].

End the Tyranny

Re: “Sound Familiar?” [Letters, November 6]: Yes, it sounds familiar. I have been giving a lecture called “The Tyranny of Landscaping” for 30 years in over 200 venues across Long Island. The “tyranny” is as follows: First, it’s complete and utter ecosystem destruction. Next comes the turf grass, along with trees and shrubs from other parts of the world that need life support to live here. Next, it’s the pesticides, the water use, the emissions, and then that damned life-ruining noise of the !+@%”*#*^*! “Infernal Gadgets” [Letters, November 13] — leaf blowers! Why?
