First came NYU's mega dorms down 3rd Avenue and than came sky piercing hotels and a new studio all that look like "space ships" or hideous buildings for a movie set that have nothing to do with the lower East Side unless you think "greed" is the new lower east side. Gordon Gekko for President of NYU Cooper Union and Columbia U. I voted for Mayor Bloomberg and when we had our brief chat on the steps of City Hall it was clear to me the mayor put NYU ahead of the people of this city. Of course John Sexton the president ran down to testify that we need to toss term limits and have King Mayor Bloomberg because no other incoming mayor would //// the community like his mega bucks pals Mike and Amanda. John Sexton's list of mega bucks pals is like NYU's need to expand, unending...very rich and powerful friends and you thought we lived in a democracy, NYC is oligarch central and John Sexton runs his own oligarchy, the evil empire and Cooper Union is supersizing and expanding here as rapidly. + You can listen to my youtubes "Post traumatic term limits" John the church murder Sexton" where I described the parishioners crying and praying on the street, "NYU makeover takeover..." and many of my youtubes make reference to NYU's tear down of St. Ann's from 1847 that survived everything but NYU's need and greed to build yet another mega dorm
Cooper Union Mega dorm and beyond it the NYU mega dorm part of a river of concrete, a river of denial called NYU-mega destruction, purple reign of terror, NYU mega dormed the East Village to death and Cooper Union, The New School, SVA and New York Law jumped on the bandwagon.
Reflects a history destroyed and a community no longer welcome...you will have to visit a recreation of the East Village, Bowery, Lower East Side in Las Vegas or a museum...
Can we have drug testing for architects...I am told so I don't have this documented just hear say, that Cooper Union "we aren't as bad as NYU" only because you don't have their deep pockets yet but you are on the way, owns the property...I don't know if this is true but I was told that if you buy a condo you are buying land lease property...don't know if that is true but it may explain in part why I appears more than half empty...
Mayor Bloomberg and Amanda Burden, he made his mega bucks, she was born in to hers and married and divorced even more mega bucks are so proud of this new hideous New York, soulless shopping mall built on old New York's infrastructure, communities that made the neighborhoods so attractive are not welcome, same for Mom and Pop businesses.
Welcome to the new hideous new york for college kids, uber rich and tourists!!!!!!! How ironic the movie crews will have to film in Canada, not because it is cheaper but to recreate the New York they helped to destroy by "glamourizing" so every college kids wants to live here, everyone wants to party here...but there is still a harsh brutal and heart breaking underbelly of homelessness, drugs and more and I am sure the mega rich just have their's delivered. Yes, the rich just have it all delivered.
