Great Place To Be

I read with deep attention to detail the almost full-page story on the lack of parking during the busy summer months in Westhampton Beach [“Westhampton Beach Village Board Exploring Paid Parking Options,” 27east.com, November 10]. I did note, happily, that Mayor Ralph Urban hedged his bets a number of times in the article as to whether or not paid parking for Main Street spots, or spots in the lot behind the shops on the south side of Main Street, was really a solution. Mr. Mayor, it’s not. (The silliest idea floated was to consider the East Hampton plan, which is ... by Staff Writer

Define the Problem

To solve a problem, the critical step is defining it. What are the root causes of our immigration crisis? 1) Lack of economic opportunity, especially in Central and South America and Mexico, but all over the world, in reality. 2) Political unrest fueled by authoritarian regimes, or by religious fanaticism, or any combination thereof. 3) Destruction caused by repeated and worsening climate issues: floods, typhoons, hurricanes, fires, drought. 4) Global connection via internet to all corners of the world. The have-nots can see what others do have. 5) The illegal drug trade, closely related to item 1 but also just ... by Staff Writer

Sounds Familiar

Southampton Village has its own Donald Trump and Pam Bondi: Mayor Bill Manger and Village Attorney Eileen Powers. Manger, an aspiring Trump (and a former employee), and Powers, an aspiring Bondi, both relying on the same familiar trio of secrecy, spin and self-preservation. The latest example is the architectural review study, a report paid for with public grant money to evaluate which homes could face more onerous restrictions if included in a new historic district. Instead of sharing it, Manger and Powers locked it away like it’s the Epstein files. Note that Leon Black, a known Epstein associate who made ... by Staff Writer

Need To Adapt

I’m not typically keen on dueling Letters to the Editor, but in my best Inigo Montoya voice, my response to Highway Superintendent Charles McArdle is: “I did not say what you think I said” [“Oversight Failure,” Letters, November 13]. Let me try again by melding our two points of view: If governments at all levels continue to ignore necessary infrastructure maintenance while our planet continues to warm, expect the kinds of things that happened at Sunrise Highway to happen with more frequency. The combination of more intense storms with shoddy maintenance programs will cause more damage and impact on our ... by Staff Writer
