I wish this is all I had to complain about
Williamsburg Construction Boom Ruining Babies' Naps and Walks, Moms Say
With stunning views, shiny amenity-stocked condos and a burgeoning community of young families, the Williamsburg waterfront may be prime real estate — but it's also a baby-raising headache, some moms lament.
Construction on new developments has been disrupting infants' naps and outdoor strolls, stay-at-home parents and nannies say, claiming noise and flying dirt are rampant in the popular young family neighborhood.
"It's annoying to be outside with a baby, it's loud and dusty," said Northside Piers condo resident Vanessa Vellucci, who said construction has put a damper on spring walks with her 1-year-old Angelo and that it recently ruined his naps. "They were power drilling and he'd wake up hearing that dun, dun, dun...the building would almost shake."
Vellucci, who moved to the neighborhood from Manhattan two years ago, said she and her mom friends steer clear of walking their kids near the construction-filled blocks on North 4th, North 5th and North 6th Streets, as new construction rises from the ground at a rapid rate. "It's gotten worse lately," she said of the past several months. "When you go to work you don't notice it, but when you're a mom you're walking all these streets every day...You just have to deal with it."

2. As the father of a week-old daughter, I say
...with all respect: either you don't know, or you've forgotten, why this is actually a big problem for the people complaining.
Either way, spare me the judgment. If there was construction keeping my baby girl awake, I would be super pissed. Not cool at all.
One week and the pompous windbag is already an expert.
Wait until he gets hit with projectile vomit! One can only hope that he gets hit in an open mouth. :yahoo: O-)
I'm rooting for explosive diarrhea :-)
I hope Baby Girl Pitt disappoints her da by being a huge success and, perhaps the first in the Pitt family to graduate from Hillsdale!

<<<wishes the brain-damaged primitive, who apparently hasn't yet cleared up his problems with the IRS, had more to complain about than what he does.
