Great news Cooper Union pres. to retire. Maybe we can get someone to respect and support the community rather than crush it and with hideous ugly architecture as well. Don't they have an architecture school?

At least he said on ABC news that Cooper Union is a real estate magnate. He was aided and abetted by king Mike Bloomberg and socialite mega millionaire city planner Amanda the people's Buren in tearing down our historic neighborhood and busting through zoning. Do the college kids know that community groups sued Cooper Union and lost? Do they care? No. I wrote President and asked for his help. Every mega dorm or building that uses the term community facility by Universities and than excludes the community must open up their doors and give the community an actually facility like a resource center with free computers and or a senior center so seniors don't have to sit in a Burger King, etc. The kids would be forced to recognize the community is struggling and get involved in volunteering and helping the community. Here is the YouTube where I buy the card and send off the letter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeW1NvhrYYM Because of the hideous sky piercing zone busting inappropriate real estate dealings under his watch -- one that even Giuliani's city planner said "NO" to and that is the tear down of the little yellow science building stating it was a "shell game" because they want to supersize and than lease for 99 years. Cooper Union as I understand it owns the property across the street where the lease the property to a zone busting hideous mirror building that appears half empty because I am guessing people do not want to buy a condo on land leased property. We also have had major infrastructure breaks by Cooper Union hideous ugly eye sore aka the studio building that looks like it belongs in a bad hollywood sci-fi and not the bowery. Go to this YouTube and at the top of the text portion is a link to NY1 for a water main break -- medium sized -- caused a lot of harm and I believe Cooper U. was responbile. Cooper U. says they are not. It is one block from the studio build and happened during construction. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk-i3aYKo_U Thank you, Suzannah B. Troy
