George Bliss How Higher Ed Crushed E. Village and More
Posting from Iphone - this 1 blog won't recognize paragraph breaks so read here.
http://suzannahbtroy.blogspot.com/2008/01/george-bliss-hub-station-73-morton.htmlOld photos of a west village George Bliss space where yet again he was forced out but don't forget Bliss was next to the Hell's Angels in a one floor garage bike shop. NY Law dorm who has no Campus in the East Village but jumped on the NYU mega dorm the East Village to death along with Cooper Union, The New School, and SVA. NY Law to set an example to future lawyers broke the laws like NYU's illegal purchase from the USPS 120 East 12th -- an illegal air sale by USPS and NYU and NY Law built too high. NY Law illegally busted thru zoning - and did not remove the offending floors.
Note: all these illegal dorms use the term community facility and exclude the facility. I had a sit down meeting with NYU reps and brought a woman from Andrew Berman's office as a witness and demanded community out reach centers in every mega dorm and Thr NYU housing center. John Sexton the evil real estate magnate posing as pres of NYU said no. These centers would raise awareness with students that people are struggling and give them an opportunity to volunteer to help. I wanted a table for parents to ask for tutoring for their kids to seniors in need to free computers including homeless.
Cooper Union owned a gas station space where George was allowed to have his bicycle space and Cooper Union another evil real estate magnate evicted him for the creation of a yuppie eatery. Later land lord Cooper Union sold the space on the Bowery and 3rd. Cooper Union Studio build in which community sued, the parking lot they now lad lease that is the mirrored eye sore and the Science building illegal corrupt build that Rudy's commissioner City Planning said no it is a shell game destroyed the East Village with evil Amanda The People's Burden aiding and abetting and Thr new build with one floor of Ed Cooper was shamed in to having will be as tall as the illegal ugly Cooper Union mega dorm.
+ When the Hell's Angels were last raided by the NYPD the NY Law Students stood out on their balconies in their pajamas. I thought just married people with children wear pajamas so u see I learned something.
Was Mike Red Square Rosen's Hideous red square the prototype for these dorms. I have an old story on him and his rent fees that further expose he is no activist but a 1% percenter who lives in a duplex in the Christadora that was a Welfare building and Rosen's rich man toy is a Lenin sculpture a top his Red Square a kind of dorm with balconies from college kids that want to grow old on Lower East Side and feel like they still live in a dorm.
George Bliss is now on Charles Street but Columbia University crushed Manhattanville abusing eminent domain and George lost his work studio in a land grab. By the way George lived across from my windows facing 12th Street in the 80's just before his bike venture and George and his than girlfriend let a homeless man Ben live in his space. If that is not front line NY rescue I don't know what is.
