The only thing John Sexton, Mike Bloomberg and Amanda Burden haven't done is provide NYU buses trains and trolleys to move us out.
I demanded community outreach resource centers in every mega dorm in the East Village and there are so many including NY Law (with balconies), SVA, The New School and Cooper Union (NYU jr, Cooper Union is another greedy community crushing real estate magnate)
they give us community outreach resource centers in store fronts == in the very front part of supersized student housing so college kids have to know the communities are struggling, growing old, caring for their kids who need quiet when you are partying -- yes I hear a lot of complaints from parents that NYU students that live off campus are too rowdy)
and these centers would have free computer use, listings on line as well for all small businesses all kinds of resources including a table to ask for volunteers as well as for senior citizen etc.
Ditto for Columbia University.....
see my youtubes on all of the above -- I have a series....The only students I have ever heard speak up and say NOT IN OUR NAME are Columbia University students. Cooper Union and NYU were the worst maybe Cooper Union art students were the ultimate worst because artist pre this new wave would speak up against this kind of community crushing greed and the art students I met had an arrogant attitude -- show me the money for their fee education -- the reminded me of Ivan Boesky.
Columbia University, NYU and Cooper Union are the Bernie Maddoff of higher education making off with our neighborhoods posing as one thing but ultimate they are greedy community crushing real estate magnates.
