Cooper Union continues to supersizing like NYU and sky piercing luxury hotels join "higher" ed mega domination and destruction

Cooper Union got mega millionaire socialite city planner Amanda Burden's green light to tear down and supersize the Science building, move out and lease the building for 99 years. What does that have to do with higher education. I accidently discovered a press conference and the rep for Cooper Union was telling the press we the community love what Cooper Union is doing. I assured the press this is not so. I was told that even our previous mayor's city planner described this as a shell game and did not support the tear down and supersizing super leasing...

Note: The Science Building supersized should fit nicely with the Cooper Union mega dorm pictured to the right which does not fit in with anything except the NYU megadorm next door.

St. Marks Bookstore cannot afford the rent on St. Marks. It is like the Titanic and small retail stores look for shelter but mega dorms are mostly about mega retail chains and I want community outreach resource centers in every mega dorm to help community members and small businesses to survive in their own communities that have been crushed by their mega domination and that includes No 1 NYU, the East Village's very own evil empire, Cooper Union, SVA, NY Law and The New School.

A needle by Cooper Union's construction site which is a reminder of one of the city's big problems and of course drug dealers look forward to the large influx of college kids. It is good for business and in fact all businesses cater to the college kids; sad but true and the film, tv and those that want to exploit the area gloss over the harsh problems that exist.

Cooper Union's tear down of the studio building and I have heard a lot of very negative rumors on this site which I won't share at this time. I also believe 2 water main breaks near by are related and that is my opinion which I am entitled to although Cooper Union says no of course.

The NY Mag calls this hotel Dubai on the Bowery and I wanted to show you the NYU school bus because I blame NYU's zone busting mega domination of the East Village and West for bursting forth of sky piercing hotels and the developers wanting this to be NYU-Las Vegas-ville party central. Please visit www.neithermorenorless.blogspot.com to see the touching protest of our community fighting all the bars of this Cooper Square Dubai on the Bowery Hotel.

NYU does not have a flag outside this pink building to the right here which is deceptively large. You have to see it from the side to see what I mean and the NYU reps I met with to demand community outreach resource centers told me they could not put a flag up because they are leasing the building and the landlord doesn't want an NYU flag or map. NYU also does not update and show what their real campus looks like on those maps and to date NYU has not answered my demand that they update and show the public the real NYU map.

This is not a mega dorm, this is NYU mega student housing and I showed you the glass windows reflecting a community no longer welcome so I want a community outreach resource center here. I contrasted this hideous NYU housing w/retail stores with the historic NYPD building that actually has a community facility.

Another look at the monster NYU student housing on Broome Street across from the historic NYPD building. Please click on my post about the NYPD building so see more...

NYU student housing on 7th Street by the corner of 2nd Avenue and I took a quick picture of the front hall which proudly displays the historic area that NYU has destroyed in the name of higher education with the help of previous mayors but the billionaire mayor and socialite mega millionaire city planner took it to new heights and horror ignoring our pleas turned to rage to Save St. Ann's.

St. Ann's grave with NYU setting a world record Guinness book record setting pace building the tallest most hideous mega dorm every. Can someone tell me how much money David Kramer and Hudson Realty made tearing down this historic church? How much money did each developer make on the each mega dorm that destroyed this neighborhood?
