[Joanne98]

It will cut into our profits!


Downtown Manhattan civic leaders and the Real Estate Board of New York say they have no problem with a civilian trial, but it should be somewhere else.

“We cannot do that again to lower Manhattan,” said real estate board President Steven Spinola, whose group has set up a Web site, www.MoveTheTrial.com.

Welcome to MoveTheTrial.com!

The trial of the 9/11 terrorists will severely damage our local businesses in downtown Manhattan.

The security measures needed to ensure public safety, like permanent street closings and additional security provisions, will strangle the already weakened local economy.

Tell your officials to move the trial to a different location!

Welcome to the Real Estate Board of New York

What is the Real Estate Board of New York?

The Real Estate Board of New York was begun in 1896 as the first real estate trade association in the state. Real Estate Board members are New York City’s most talented, energetic and influential real estate professionals. Once membership is approved, members belong to their industry’s leading trade association within New York. REBNY works on behalf of its members to promote public and industry policies and frequently speaks before government bodies to, among other things, expand New York’s economy, encourage the development and renovation of commercial and residential real property, enhance the city’s appeal to investors and residents and facilitate property management.

In addition, the Board conducts various professional education programs including state-certified required courses for licensing, continuing education courses and free seminars to help members hone their professional skills. REBNY also undertakes a wide variety of research projects studying the current residential and commercial conditions within the city and maintains the largest collection of real-estate related information of any city trade association in its Seymour B. Durst library, located at REBNY’s office in mid-town.

If realtors in Manhattan don't want to have the trial there because they think it will cut into their profits just say so. Spare us the right-wing proganda about security!

1. Seems to me people would flock to the local for this...

Security will be tighter there than anywhere else on the planet during that time.
