I can't imagine why NYU, all the mega dorms and even the Christadora aren't giving the community outreach resource centers as resources to help people to stay in the neighborhood.
You would have to search in the blog engine under the words community facility or community outreach and one of my first postings is the stunning historical NYPD headquarters that are now condos but honor the community with a senior citizens center and across the street I show you a supersized NYU student housing with no community facility of any type but a store front with mirror glass that could be turned into a resource center and this is in the Chinatown area.
I am super honored by the diverse group of people that email me find my email through my artist's website and those that post their thoughts....Thanks and gratitude.
Everyone knows from letters published in the The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The NY Post, The NY Daily News, AM New York, Newsday to name a few how passionate I feel about our rescue workers so I am touched I got picked up by an FDNY site. I looked at the site and there was a touching 9-11 memorial ceremony in Brooklyn also posted and a moving video of an NYPD police chief honoring a boy severely handicapped in a wheel chair on his birthday with the special emergency unit making him an honorary chief. I used to do volunteer work with children with handicaps and I am deeply moved by the people that are devoted to them, family members, care takers, you name in -- the good positive forces and to have someone come in the kids and their family admire really means a lot. I remember the Mets pitcher Al Leiter came in with his kids and he was one athlete that did so that wasn't required to as penitence but because Leiter is exceptional off the baseball field as well. I think his kids will grow up as humble as he is for the shared experience. The father of the little boy told the chief and the unit from the NYPD you did a mitzvah and it is true -- they did a good deed.
When I hit these lows and it isn't just 9-11 but what feels like terrible corruption and a legal system that seems slanted in the favor of the greedy exploitive people that have no empathy for anyone but their bank account the small actions of goodness here in the city give me an uplift.
I just found a clause in a developer's contract that says they are not responsible for any misleading information in advertising and by sales agents. Could you imagine that in any other business transaction in the State of New York? NYC takes your "breath away" in the most moving of ways -- some beautiful and some horrific....it can be so terrible it can be your last breath. Sorry for the blues but I just had to put that out there out of sheer anger and frustration.
