Please look at this article and see the photo. It is terrific but they the images that are not captured here are spectacular including the crowd in front of 47 East 3rd Street which may give a hint to the mega rich family that want to evict everyone how the community and the majority of the world community feel about their evil deed. But them being them -- they don't care -- greed has away of steeling people, greed and corruption and I have seen it in the rich and poor -- when greed steels them, hardens them, steals their soul.
The protest ended in front of the Christadora that to dates owes the community a community facility because it was originally built for the people. One of my first posting was to point out NYU owes of community facilities in every mega dorm because they use the term community facility to supersize yet exclude the community.
The Christadora was the first symbol of gentrification and one guy that owns a duplex or triplex is Mike Rosen, mr. red "force a lenin sculpture on the neighborhood that doesn't want it" square -- the red square looks like an NYU mega dorm with balconies, and Mike Rosen imagines he is a hero to the community -- his latest endeavors include seeing himself as a zoning hero and doesn't he have the view to give us input from the roof top of the Christadora or Red Square next to Lenin -- who he images is waving at Wall Street, not himself.
Has Rosen done some good in the community? Yes. He is rich and he should. There are people poor, that have nothing that do good as well. The community has many people of all economic strata and background that make a difference. It just seems Rosen is NOT bending over backward to have the Christadora honor the community facility it should have there so I see Rosen on the rooftop next to Lenin as summing it up....the Lenin sculpture just underscores how full of it he is. Put it on top of the Christadora and honor the community facility. NYU should have one in St. Ann's as well...infact hideous mega dorms
The protest was terrific...the signs, for a moment I was shocked by the curse words but seeing the devastation, the destruction, the evictions...how one day I woke up and instead of the East Village it looked like a bad xerox of midtown and the Bowery Dubai, the vulgarity seemed appropriate.
