I copied Andrew's letter and added my viewpoint to an email to Gov. Patterson and this email is tame compared to my last one

Dear Governor
Paterson: I copied Andrew Berman's letter and I am re-sending it you as a New Yorker that loves "old"New York and if more isn't done to preserve our history and our community you will have to visit us some where other than New York, perhaps a bad recreation in Las Vegas...here is Andrew's letter and I agree.
I write on behalf of the Greenwich
Village Society
for Historic Preservation
(GVSHP),
the largest
membership
otganization
in Greenwich
Village, the East
Village, and
NoHo, regarding
the sale
of the State-owned
office building at 75
Morton Street. GVSHP's mission is to protect
and preserve
the special
character
of
our neighborhoods.
As you are no doubt aware,
there
has
been
considerable
effort to locate
a public
school
at 75 Morton Street,
to help address
the growing school
overcrowding
problem in Greenwich
Village and Lower Manhattan. Such
a proposal
would entail
the re-use
of the existing building, built in 1919
as offices and a warehouse.
We would strongly support
such
a plan, particularly
as it would involve the re-use
ofthe existing
building, and
would re-dedicate
a publicly-owned
property
to a
public purpose. Additionally, it is clear
thatthere is very strong
support
for such
a
use in the local community,
as well as a need
for it.
75 Morton Street
is located
directly adjacent
to the Greenwich
Village Historic
District, and at the edge
of a neighborhood
which is facing increasing
development
pressure
and mofe and more inappropriate
development,
such
as
the 45-story
Trump
SoHo Condo-Hotel. We cannot
stress
strongly
enough
how much we would prefer
to see
this building re-used
and put to a suitable
public pulpose
such
as a schoolo
rather
than to have
it simply sold off to the highest
bidder.
We believe
this would
also
be vastly preferable
to by far the majority of the surrounding
community,
which would like to see
the site developed
in a manner
consistent
with the character
of the surrounding
neighborhood
and with community
desires
for the future of this
atea.
Thank you very much in advance
for considering
our concerns,
and for your
attention
to this matter.
