Wednesday, November 07, 2001 5:20 PM Battery Park City Home Owner. I was just made aware of your website, so I am writing in hopes of getting a response. Ever since the attacks I have had very little patience or will to write letters to claim anything. I have applied to FEMA and they provided me with a check which barely covered one month's rent in New York City. I have to agree with my fellow neighbors that we would like to be helped in some way by the government. The immediate help I see that can be made is reducing the taxes in BPC so that owners and renters have financial incentive to stay. All of what Kathy Hansen has written in her is true and to the point: the neighborhood is demolished, the air quality is unbearable, the transportation is impossible, and the short term or long term solutions don't seem to rectify any of these issues. I have had my place professionally cleaned, including all the carpeting, sheets, pillows and furniture. I took it upon myself to paint the entire apartment in hopes of covering up the dark black soot that covered my belongings. I have purchased new sheets, bedding, towels, and 2 industrial HEPA filters, and am still coughing uncomfortabley. On the streets, a lot of the shops and stores remain closed, not the mention all the facilities which were our haven in the WFC and WTC. Instead we have visitors now by the hundreds, carrying flags, taking pictures of anything horrific they can find to eternalize Sept 11, and yet are asked if we could 'return to our normal lives'. I am merely a concerned BPC condo owner. I see the prices have plummeted because renters are leaving by the dozens, if not more. The damages to the market value of these properties will never be recooped. We have written letters to all the officials asking for them to reduce taxes so that we can sustain through the rebuilding of our area. People DO need an incentive until things really do go back to normal which will not be until the new WTC (whatever it may be) is completely built. If you can in any way help us in these hard times, it would be benefiting approximately 2 million people who are affected by this in the immediate area.
