Froufrou Fifth Avenue resembles a police state.
Officers wielding gigantic guns guard Trump Tower, where President-elect Donald Trump conducts all transition business, and soon lots of presidential business, too. Shoppers patronizing the stores, cafes or public gardens inside must endure layers of security screening. Streets and sidewalks are barricaded; traffic is snarled; and costumed buskers milk money from the looky-loos obstructing the entrances to Gucci and Tiffany.

“gigantic guns” ??
The FBI should investigate the Post. The IRS should audit the Post. The Post should shut up.
Russians with Uzi’s!
Only if NY wants most of armed PA to invade their streets and take back the tower.
The people have spoken. Shut the F up.
These people never see their hypocrisy.
I guarantee you it is the safest street in NYC these days...................
Blah blah blah.
The ComPost is exploring new levels of stupid previously deemed impossible to reach.
The IRS should. Lets see what comes up, same with all the GOP traitor senators. Lets dig up some dirt and shut these idiots up because they only care about themselves and power.
the same could be said of kennybunkport, camp david or any other presidential retreat.
get over it liberals, you LOST.
If it weren’t for double standards, then they wouldn’t have any standards at all.
Yep, that's exactly where I stopped reading...
Any cost born by the liberals in new York is well worth it and justly deserved.
Yep - seizing private property as the solution to expense and logistics - it's right there in the Constitution.
How much is the homeless and illegal problem costing New York in money, time, effort, and property values? Is a gleaming skyscraper helping or hurting compared to a bum urinating in public, actively encouraged by the mayor?
“gigantic guns “
Methinks the writer is unconscionably revealing a sexual obsession via a Freudian slip.
Better looking than I expected.
And I actually admire how she makes that metrosexual carry her purse.
Perhaps we should seize the Post for spreading “fake news”.
Maybe the Trumps should kick the Obamas out of the WH early so he can conduct his business from there? /s
