NYU uses Broadway and Lafayette Street as their parking lot for trolleys and buses. Don't they own enough real estate to park their unwanted fleet on? NYC kids take public transportation why can't NYU students?
John Sexton ran down to testify Mike Bloomberg.
Is John Sexton a NYC resident? Can he actually vote in a NYC election? Does he get super pricey posh living quarters on the house but declares some out state as his home? Would any newspaper report the juicy real estate properties used as perks for faculty and friends or talk about an NYU hotel for college students parents.... I don't have the answers but someone with a press pass could get the answers.
John Sexton: How much money does NYU spend beating down community law suits against your community crushing activities? I know they brought one against NYU for St. Ann's.

MY newest letter to The New York eminent domain Times on the pathetic new piece on NYU's newest goal to crush the West Village. NYU mega dormed the East Village to death opening the door for The New School, Cooper Union, SVA and NY Law dorm (a mega dorm with balconies next to the Hell's Angels) to use NYU's cunning term "community facility to supersize -- bust through zoning to push out the community for their unending need to expand.

NYU Staff bragging about NYU giving him 100% mortgage to buy his home & community crushing developments from NYU, Cooper Union & Columbia U.

NYU, Cooper Union and Columbia University really need to be investigated by the Feds along with anyone aiding and abetting them in their wheelings and dealing involving real estate in so many ways it is shocking. The people of the community live their dirty dealings every day, though that have not been forced out by eminent domain abuse like the entire neighborhood of Manhattanville by Columbia except for a few hold outs duking it out in court.
NYU and Cooper Union don't even need to abuse eminent domain to get the job done and again the only thing the presidents of these Universities have not done is join Mike Bloomberg and socialite mega millionaire city planner Amanda Burden in shipping us all out in NYU buses and trolleys.
Their abuses are so many, so complicated and shady, Gordon Gekko is teaching a class at Stern Business School in conjunction with Cooper Union on how to use your not for profit status as a tax shelter and demolish a neighborhood without going to jail and making big profits! The course includes the need for high priced attorneys to beat down community concerns and public relations staff to sell the students and the press on how wonderful their misdeeds are and that lie the community just loves what they do.
The air sale over Saint Ann's at 120 East 12th Street by the USPS to NYU was illegal because the USPS did not notify the State of New York as legally required by just like blocking fire hydrants and laughingly saying, hey, let the NYPD ticket and tow us, the USPS is confident they are above the law. Since the USPS has lost aprox 14 billion dollars in the last three years, has customer service that makes the Mafia look warm and friendly doing an illegal air sale that might be harmful and destructive to the community to NYU is no biggie.
If you and I did this we would be in jail. It took years to catch Bernie Maddoff because just like NYU and the USPS -- it just appears certain institutions are above the law.
Ditto: For Cooper Union, in my opinoin what they have done sure feels criminal. Just use your eyes. They are in process of tearing down the little yellow science building and supersizing to match their mega dorm across the street and the mirrored building diagonally across the street where Cooper Union owns the land and leases it. Cooper Union intends on supersizing yet again and leasing yet again which has nothing to do with higher ed but higher greed.
I believe the subway stations there are so dilapidated that Coopers mega builds by them are further endangering our community. When Cooper U. tried their illict moves with Guiliani's city planner, I am told he said NO, THIS IS A SHELL GAME!
Amanda socialite mega millionaire city planner deserves handcuff bracelets for aiding and abetting these real estate magnates in their destructive, dangerous builds that displace our community members and make the area look like a bad xerox of mid-town turning in to a bad xerox of Dubai.
