"We have talked so much about the Iron Pipeline... But we have moved from the Iron Pipeline to the kitchen table pipeline. You can sit in the comfort of your own home, at your kitchen table, with polymer and print out a gun."

I understood at a very early age how much place matters and how impactful government services can be on one's life. The Mayor's Office of Equity and Racial Justice was really focused on working with agencies to think about how they're addressing inequity, whether it's through budget as a lever or personnel as a lever, procurement, policymaking.

Linda Scott was attacked by a woman outside her President St. home near Troy Ave. in Crown Heights around 9 a.m. Monday, cops said.

"Brooklyn has always been a place where movement is part of daily life. But today, Brooklynites, like all New Yorkers, are moving less, feeling more isolated and dealing with elevated rates of chronic diseases."

But the solution might be hiding in plain sight, tucked away behind the chain-link fences of our city's woefully underutilized golf courses.
