except NYU has no conscious.
NYU owns the most property in the neighborhood (maybe even NYC) and does not have to abuse eminent domain to tear down our historic buildings and displace the community....NYU has very good friends like billionaire Mike Bloomberg and the worst city planner ever, the ruthless Amanda --the people's Burden. She was born with a platinum spoon and married and divorced mega bucks. If I recall correctly, she has a 40 million dollar trust fund for her kids and if there is anything she can do to aid mega rich real estate magnate pals at the expense of the community she will do it.
NYU could park their fleet of unwanted buses and trolleys that congest traffic anywhere on their own massive real estate holdings but NYU considers everything public their property as well including Washington Square Park.
I like H&M but truly this photo embodies Mike's NY which caters to deep pockets that consider every inch of NYC as potential advertising space but small businesses are cruelly crushed and any way the middle class and poor can be ticketed or taxed they are.
The only thing Mike, Amanda the people's Burden, John Sexton pres, of NYU have not done is provide
NYU trolleys and buses to move the rest of the neighborhood out for their unending need to expand and at the community's expense in way too many ways and Cooper Union has jumped on the band wagon.
The East Village has been mega dormed to death by NYU, Cooper Union, NY Law, SVA and The New School all confusing the EV with dorm fodder.
