Gee, I wonder if the university looking to buy entire building of condos in Brooklyn to fully exploit the mayor's tsunami of community crushing development in every way possible could be NYC's the no. 1 real estate magnate NYU? After all, NYU is the no. 1 predator looking everywhere to expand their campus we call the evil empire of the East Village since they mega dormed the area to death or the purple reign of terror. The mayor and Amanda Burden, socialite mega millionaire have put college kids student housing on the no. 1 priority list as evictions continue to rise and it is no surprise, after all these greedy developers rushed to supersize our historic neighborhood's city wide, the market is soft and 2 of the top three real estate owner just happen to be NYU and Columbia. They are lining up to buy entire buildings of condos -- too convenient and neatly packaged. The mayor and Amanda who act like the mayor of NYU and Columbia forgot to put bows on these condo deals like they did St. Ann's Church from 1847 at 120 East 12th Street. They should add college courses on the most shocking exploitation and destruction of NYC post 9-11 by NYU and Columbia University. Totally slick, exploitive and should be exposed but instead they will teach it as a "how to..." course...welcome to the New hideous New York, built on 'old' NY's infrastructure, mostly owned by NYU and Columbia U. exploiting our neighborhoods, communities and all hiding behind their "not for profit" status! Really slick stuff and it couldn't have been done with out the mayor and Amanda Burden.
