NYU the evil empire of the East Village, the purple reign of terror, a message to all NY Law, Cooper Union, SVA, The New School

Above the tear down of St. Ann's Church from 1847 that survived everything about NYU's need and greed to build yet another mega dorm.  Please visit 120 East 12th Street and see this horror show!  You are visiting a crime scene.  I will always remember the parishioners crying and praying in the street after being turned out and than 7 day a week construction noise and madness starting at 6am with a coffee clutch of construction workers under my windows that sounded an open bar to 9PM and the shady air sale deal by the USPS who in my opinion broke the law like they did every day blocking the fire hydrant outside my home, now ex-home of the last 20 years, the USPS felt hey we don't have to notify the State of New York but YES you do when selling air space over a historical site even though St. Ann's was not landmark protected so the State can come in and investigate environmental concerns, infrastructure, is this in the best interest of the community.  Postal workers mockingly told me let the NYPD ticket and tow us, ha ha ha and clearly that is the same attitude of those that brokered the air sale to NYU and as usual it gets down to the" speed of greed".

Just as I said at the Whole Earth Bakery & Kitchen rally so long ago in Tompkins Square Park and remember The Villager as told to me my Lincoln Anderson via an email he fowarded me from the reporter with an agenda for his pals...stated "who does she think she is?  Is she running for office?  She did not say anything different.

I was the only one who honored Filomena Silvestri's memory and I stated she died at age 94 knowing she and her son's business was not evicted and thrown out on the street and I thanked the community.

I also asked for community outreach resource centers in every mega dorm in the East Village.  NYU mega dormed the East Village to death...the purple reign of terror.  Cooper Union, The New School, NY Law and SVA all jumped on the mega dorm the neighborhood to death band wagon so I want them to open their front doors and hopefully in a store front have community outreach resource centers with free computers a table to ask for volunteers, a place for seniors and homeless people to sit other than McDonalds, and students would know when they walk in to their homes that people and small businesses are struggling and hopefully get involved in helping.

I confronted Mike Bloomberg on the John Gambling show about this which was quiet satisfying since I was completely erased and deleted by The Villager and how important was what I had to say and could you imagine if papers had published what I said and more pressure was put on these institutions of higher ed that use their not for profit status for land grabs to supersize and displace the community, NYU being the no. 1 offender!  At least I am digitally archived as well as writing about on any blog I could fine.  I like to tell people if and when it happens who will be patting themselves on the back for my idea.  I also met with Alicia Hurley and gang to discuss it way back when as well.  So far ZERO!!!!!!

Mayor Mike and John Gambling

You can search on this on this blog and yes, I emailed The White House and asked President Obama to pressure NYU and gang to do the right thing for once rather than just crush our communities and displace us.
