goal of development, has been at the forefront of the fight to reuse the buildings. This group has consistently fought for the right of the community’s hand in development of area. The campaign has lasted through multiple mayoral administrations, making slow but steady progress. Initial plans to create housing in the buildings were made in 1975 with Mayor Edward Koch, but the city decided to renege on these plans and build a shelter for the homeless. As the condition within the community failed to grow, groups within the city successfully sued, resulting in a reduction of the shelter from 1100 beds to 200, and the construction of affordable housing units and a community center in four of the hospital buildings in 1993. In 2010, Mayor Michael Bloomberg initiated the process of building 240 additional housing projects, however this plan failed when the developer chosen for the construction was arrested for corruption. Currently, the remaining hospital buildings are in the process to be reused following Mayor de Blasio’s housing plan. This raises hopes that the buildings and surrounding land will finally be used for positive development in the area. Despite this hope regarding these recent developments, there is concern that instead of giving control of the project to groups already involved with Greenpoint and supported by the community, the city is taking open bids to develop the buildings.

After reading both endorsement articles, Michael bloomberg ultimately persuaded me because of his establishment of strong ethos and pathos. Throughout his speech, he constantly used ethos to demonstrate his credibility as a democrat, republican, and even a business man. Bloomberg passionately speaks about his work in the senate and states, “I know Hillary Clinton can do all this, because I saw it firsthand when she was in the Senate.” This sentence founded a strong sense of credibility for…

“If you want to order two cups at the same time, that’s fine, it 's your choice. We are not taking away anybody 's right to do things, we are simply forcing you to understand.” If these words about the New York Soda Ban, from Mayor Bloomberg himself, are true, then what exactly was the point of making it?

The proposed ban drew national intention, giving the notion, “Any sugary drink larger than 16 ounces will be confisticated”. Is it really a smart approach to reduce the consumptions of soda?
