Blaming Animals for Less Construction

https://nypost.com/2026/08/23/opinion/professor-jason-ardays-death-and-more-letters/

It’s pitiful that The Post is now blaming animals and calling them the downfall of the affordable housing market (“Greens Halt Housing,” Robert Verbruggen, PostOpinion, Aug. 15).

Animals aren’t the enemy and shame on you for inciting needless hatred toward them.

Not everyone is jumping for joy over affordable housing, which brings with it its own problems (which you also know about). There are hundreds of Superfund sites all over the country. How about cleaning them up for human use? Or maybe tighten up rental laws.

Why do we have to demolish the environment so that developers can get rich?
