Major water pipe expansion - too late after the fact --see Bowery Hotel giving the 'hood the finger

This expansion happening right now almost at the front doors of The Village Voice is a huge embarrassment and exposes the ugly truth that most New Yorker know whether they realize it or not.

Our billionaire mayor Mike Bloomberg and socialite city planner mega millionaire gal pal thisclose with power brokers she aided and abetted in supersizing on our old infrastructure.

This is just 2 blocks from a medium sized water main break that I believe Cooper Union's Studio build caused as well as a stones throw from way too many buildings to even try and list that all busted through our zoning!!!!!!


How many water main breaks, sewage breaks, gas leaks,  man hole pipe explosions....please don't forget the the steam pipe explosion that looked like a terror attack by Grand Central or the death toll from construction related builds including scaffolding and cranes.

This photo is just a stones throw  from Cooper Union sky piercing zone busters -- so many it is hard to list but let us focus on two that have nothing to do with higher ed -- just higher greed and at the expense and endangerment of the community.


Every New Yorker has witnessed some kind of infrastructure related break down from water main breaks, etc. to the dangerous state of the hellish street conditions to the sidewalks... the streets in better condition in Colonial Times.....

It was common sense that infrastructure concerns  had to be addressed first before development but Mike's reasoning is and was it is bad for his mega rich greedy developer buddies but the reality is it was as reckless and stupid as what caused Wall Street to implode.


Just look at the subways stations which are rotted and leaking and the service which is awful, crowded and dangerous.

The Domino Sugar Factory is the newest reckless dangerous greedy endeavor by Bloomberg and Burden for their pals.  Just go stand in the subway station there and see the bodies of people waiting for subway doors to open and often just pass them by.  There is no express on that line.

Bloomberg closed Engine 212, The People's Firehouse and how can you close firehouses and push population expansion?

One word answer "recklessly".

Mike also tossed another infrastructure to the wayside -- the one that forms DEMOCRACY.
