My neighbor harassed me today. I was entering my building and she stopped me, and told me to not put food out for birds as she doesn’t enjoy the sight. Bread crumbs I put out is under a tree beside the sidewalk, next to the road. My understanding is that the sidewalk and tree belongs to the city not to the building. I live in Brooklyn, NYC. She also told me I am mental as I don’t understand that she doesn’t like the sight … thoughts?

I love birds. This gal from LA hopes you keep feeding them, but not bread because it’s empty nutrients for them. We need biodiversity and nyc is in the migration path. Insects are dying too so keep native plants around please and thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

I think it would different if it was near the building and attracting pest or strays to the building. If her only complaint is she doesn’t want to see the birds, then oh well.

If the birds are making a mess I could see people getting upset. There is a nice lady near me who would feed the stray cats in the area and we allowed it for a couple of years. However a family of raccoons ended up moving in and taking advantage, then they had a litter so next thing you know there was half a dozen baby raccoons.

Hopefully other creatures aren't competing for the bird feed, ie rats, etc.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
