NYU dorm in China Town has movie advertising on the building no community outreach resource centers see the historic NYPD building condo w/senior citi
Here is the base of a supersize hideous ugly NYU student housing in China Town that I believe should have a community outreach resource center in it. It does have advertisements for movies including "W", typical NYU, the no. 1 real estate magnate. Just beyond in contrast you can see the stunning historic NYPD building which is now condos for the uber rich BUT IT HAS A SENIOR CITIZEN CENTER IN THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING so unlike the Christa Dora, the symbol of gentrification which to date has never honored the history of the building with something for the community as all the mega dorms in the East Village should as well because as I understand it -- they used the term "community facility" to supersize yet exclude the community and that includes NYU with way too many mega dorms and buildings including the pink leased building on the Bowery and 2nd Street, New York Law, SVA, The New School, and of course Cooper Union.
