My letters

Submitted letters to the editor and other parties. Only a few of these were published.

To the editor:

The controversy over privately owned commuter vans has harrowing parallels with the war on drugs (“Illegal Dollar Vans Remain Defiant; City to Alter Mall Bus Stop,” and “Anger, Frustration Over Illegal Private Commuter Vans,” Flatbush Life, Oct. 4). In both cases, the situation is caused by demand, and trying to deal with it by attacking the supply is futile. Where there is demand, there will always be supply. Trying to repeal the laws of economics is like trying to repeal the law of gravity.

Meanwhile, to eliminate speeding, install speed bumps.
