NYC Parks Spotlight: Spike in Crime and the Bushwick Inlet Park 'Bait-and-Switch'
Geoffrey Croft, President and Founder of New York City Park Advocates, discusses the recent spike in major crime in parks across New York City and the movement of elected officials and residents pressuring Mayor Bill de Blasio to use eminent domain to secure private land needed to complete Bushwick Inlet Park.
