I’m pretty sure the folks who can’t afford the internet are busier with other things to do to attend even a normal review process. Silly ruling.

Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Katherine Levine sided with petitioners on Tuesday who argued that the virtual adaptation of the city’s intensive land use review process, known as ULURP, conducted due to the pandemic, excludes those without access to the Internet.

“The virtual hearing process is for people who have access to Wi-Fi,” said local activist Alicia Boyd, a plaintiff in the suit. “Our community is a low- to moderate-income community, and there are so many people that I meet that don’t even have email addresses, they don’t have computers, they don’t have Wi-Fi access, so they’re excluded.”
