NYU mega-dormed the East Village to death. I lived next to St. Ann's for 20 years and I will never forget the parishioners crying and praying on the street after being turned out of a stunning beautiful church that was their home and who's steps were a safe haven for the homeless that slept there at night. Than we endured construction with workers having noisey coffee clutchs that sounded like an open bar at 6am until 9pm and weekends. St. Ann's from 1847 survived everything but NYU's need and greed to build yet another mega dorm. I have written President Obama and asked him to pressure NYU to give us community outreach resource centers in every mega dorm where NYU uses the term "community facility" to bust through our zoning yet exclude the community. When I sat down with NYU reps they said it was a good idea but John Sexton said no.
NYU has ruthlessly grown their campus at the community's expense in the East And West Village and when we asked Mayor Bloomberg for help he made it clear he supported NYU and not our community. That is why John Sexton ran down and testified Mike Bloomberg must have a third term. I confronted mayor Bloomberg on the John Gambling Show with the sentiments and demands expressed in this letter.
Mike Bloomberg's response to me was "Just a few people feel the way Suzannah feels".
. If you remember Mike Bloomberg
barely won a third term that he spent the largest amount of money for the most humiliating win in NYC history.
Thank you.
I know you have published 9 of my letters but since becoming the eminent domain times with Bill Keller at the helm zero
I will publish myself on my blogs.
Hear me confront Mayor Bloomberg on the John Gambling show about the tsunami of community crushing development and the need for community outreach resource centers.

Note: When I met with NYU when St. Ann's was still standing (Alicia Hurley and gang) I demanded NYU start with the storefront that was Tower Video and is now NYU student housings since there has been mass displacement of the people of the neighborhood and John Sexton had Alicia Hurley tell me "no".

I have a series of YouTubes on NYU and how they have harmed the community and in the East Village, Cooper Union is a close 2nd with NY Law, The New School and SVa coping NYU and confusing the neighborhood with dorm fodder.
