two complaints about Downtown/Financial District...
I am ALL for the increased residential living around here...but seriously, with the increased families living down here now, there's a HUGE increase in pets...Exchange Place - between Broad Street & William Street smell like shyte & urine between the hours of 7am - 10am and again at 3pm - 6pm.
To the construction that's going on - it's impossible to walk on the sidewalks! Between scaffolding, cement/planter barriers, there's only room for one person to walk in any direction....you can't walk in the streets or else you'll get run over by:
- a delivery truck
- a livery cab
- a nanny w/a stroller
OR....b/c there's CONSTRUCTION
okay - vent over...take me back to Midtown please...

Re: two complaints about Downtown/Financial District...
I work on Water Street and all you see is construction and dogs. It's ridiculous....you can't even walk anymore. Its alot more crowded than it was 8 years ago when I started working down here.

Re: two complaints about Downtown/Financial District...
 I actually have to agree with you!
ETA: But I would never want to work midtown...too crowded and too many stores to shop in and spend my hard-earned money

Re: two complaints about Downtown/Financial District...
I've always complained because it wasn't residential enough. Things close too early, it's hard to get a late breakfast or lunch ( not all of us are on financial schedules down here) no grocery store, very few hair/nail salons. . .
And too many tourists. I thought they all went to midtown, but apparently the bull is quite the draw!
I miss working in Chelsea.
The construction is insane though. It toally ruins lunch time walks.

Re: two complaints about Downtown/Financial District...
I feel your pain - I've been down here for 11 years now and I can't take this.
I used to love it - because it wasn't so crowded but, all of the construction for the new transportation hub kills me. I take the PATH over and now that they moved the entrance - I feel like I am moving in a herd of cattle commuting to and from work. There is no place to walk.
Wall St is bad - when I'm heading to/from the gym there are so many tourists - standing still in a line blocking the whole sidewalk - and it's frustrating when you only have so much time!

I'm in a ton as well 
I just hate it when they stand in a huge cluster and are like LOOK!
Or when they exit Century 21 and decide to review all of their purchases on the sidewalk right outside the store.

Re: two complaints about Downtown/Financial District...
Well then, I'm glad I'm not down there anymore!
But here in Midtown on Park Avenue, you are much more likely to get hit by a Bugaboo than you are a taxi.
