Wish I were in NYC and could sit in on this. Is this streaming anywhere? Sounds interesting. Wish you could’ve added someone on the panel who takes a different view of the matter. Would make for a fuller discussion.
Agreed—diversity definitely seems like it might be lacking on the panel in a serious way. I will try to represent some of the city’s at least public rhetorical arguments—though not with much sophistication or credulity, I fear.
No worries, I would do better defending your position 🙂
Will this discussion be posted online/YouTube?
Not sure. If they don’t, I’ll try to remember to bring a recorder, and perhaps I can at least get audio.
