I voted for mayor Bloomberg twice but if he had just shown me a head of time what he and socialite mega millionaire city planner had in mind for the East Village, Bowery and Lower East Side allowing NYU to tear down St. Ann's from 1847 so NYU could finally mega dorm the East Village to death and allow Cooper Union and greedy hotel and condo developers to supersize turning the Bowery in to a bad xerox of Dubai I WOULD NEVER HAVE VOTED FOR BLOOMBERG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please note Cooper Union is NYU jr. and weighing dangerously heavy in my opinion on our old infrastructure including the leaking rotted subway stations by where Cooper Union was allowed to abuse their not for profit status and supersize while moving out and leasing the land at Astor Place. New York Law took a one story building and supesized it with sky piercing dorm with balconies on 3rd Street, SVA built a dorm and The New School also has a mega dorm all having confused the East Village with dorm fodder.

Do you think the East Village Bowery Lower East Side down and including China Town having so many infrastructure related breaks and problems had anything to do with this reckless tsunami pushed on us by the Bloomberg administration? The street conditions were better in colonial times and some of the water pipes that have been bursting like the one in the West Village was from before the Civil War! Many people do not feel safety was but first but as usual it was greed first.
All these supersized housing needs to give us community outreach resource centers in the store fronts of their building to aid the community including small businesses in staying in their neighborhoods with free computers, volunteer table, a place for seniors to sit where students can join them and volunteer.
This was true city wide as Bloomberg --Burden favored developers before the historic neighborhoods and communities and pushed a dangerous tsunami of community crushing development on the people of this city -- city wide how many construction related and infrastructure related deaths and injuries did we have? Too many!!!!!!!!!
Bloomberg and Burden act like they work for NYU, Cooper Union and Columbia University and as if they do not represent the people of New York.
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 in every mega dorm in the East Village.
