Dov Hikind declares war on Boro Park banks
Does Assemblyman Dov Hikind have something to say about the large number of financial institutions setting up shop on Borough Park’s 13th Avenue? You can bank on it!
Hikind (D-Borough Park) said there are too many banks on the avenue and that something should be done about it.
Hikind charged that the proliferation of banks – 17 within a 10-block stretch of the avenue – is hurting mom and pop businesses on the commercial strip. The banks drive neighborhood rents up, he charged.
