NYU that doesn't have to abuse eminent domain to get the job done. NYU mega dormed the East Village to death and so many other Universities followed their example in the East Village where The New School, SVA, NY Law and Cooper Union all have joined NYU in confusing the EV with dorm fodder and not a community.
The only thing John Sexton, best friends with every power broker possible, Mike Bloomberg and the wicked witch of the East Village haven not done is provide buses, NYU trolleys and trains to move us out to make room for these greedy evil real estate magnates that use their not for profit status as a tax shelter.
The division that handles anti-trust at the State Attorney General's office should be investigating these land grabs and abuse by NYU and Cooper Union because they are playing Monopoly and only this greedy administration that favors developers would allow this to happen.
Even Guiliani's city planner said "No" to the evil exploitive real estate magnate Cooper Union when they asked if they could supersize their little yellow Science building, supersize it and lease it for 99 years. I am told he responded "It is a shell game."
But Amanda Burden let them do this twice. Cooper Union is about to tear down the yellow building by the black cube and on the other side the sky piercing mirrored half empty condo building that reflects a history destroyed & a community no longer welcome I am told -- the land is owned by Cooper Union and they lease it. Ha Ha by a condo for 5 million dollars and know you are buying a leased property.
Around the corner Cooper Union just supersized it's old historic studio and it looks like a hideous ugly fractured aquarium that belongs on a Hollywood set of a bad B movie and not the Bowery.
After zone busters NYU and Cooper Union supersized down Third Avenue than came condo and hotel developers that were able to do so as well with the wicked witch mega millionaire socialite city planner's blessing.
Do you think you will read about this in The New York eminent domain Times -- no or just glowing lies and as much as I like the NY Daily News - Mort Zuckerman may have the same money manger Steve Rattner -- and they did a dishonest public relations piece for the socialite mega millionaire city planner saying she preserved the East Village when thanks to her stupidity and greed shared with all these developers they have destroyed the heart and soul and community of the East Village and Lower East Side. The Bowery looks like space ships landed on it and are illegally parked.
Burden and Bloomberg want the area to be an extension of Wall Street with a few token buildings.
The evil landlords at 47 East 3rd Street did a mass eviction for their greed so it just is in vogue right now.

I don't have proof just a rumor that Steve Rattner -- two" tt"s not one like Bruce is the money manager for Mike Bloomberg and the rumor is Mort Zuckerman as well. There is link on the nydaily news piece to Mike Bloomberg being interviewed and stating Steve Rattner should not have to step down...kind of like City Council members being investigated and their staff being arrested but not them.... Again amazing the new york times reported this because I am told Steve Rattner is best friends with the owner of the new york eminent domain times... http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/22/business/22quadrangle.html?_r=1&ref=nyregion okay and here is the link to the new york daily news article that quotes Mike on Steve and a photo of both of them.... Everyone seems to be "in bed together" so it is amazing we get any news reported at all and why we turn to blogs.... http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2009/04/23/2009-04-23_mayor_bloomberg_defends_friend_car_czar_steven_ratner_amid_pension_scandal_probe.html Also it doesn't make Bill Thompson look good either..... It is horrible what has been going on and how the newspapers at times appear to aid and abett but either not reporting the news or appearing as you say "on crack". thanks, Suzannah B. Troy
