Blommberg Hospital W. Village Turned Condos Next Brooklyn Heights A movie theatre
Note from Suzannah --Bloomberg awful mayor who pushed a reckless tsunami of community crushing development on old NY's infrastructures. Amanda The People's Burden the worst city planner ever using greed and stupidity to guide her wrong decisions. I went to bed in the East Village and woke-up in a bad xerox of mid-town thanks to Blomberg and The People's Burden and the greedy developers they represent -- NYU, The New School, Cooper Union, SVA and zone busting hotels and condos that followed the sky piercing dorms. The dorms used the term community to supersize and exclude the communities they crush.
We also witness what a corrupt FAILURE Dept of Buildings is and 311 another Tax Payers Titanic.
Bloomberg pushes a reckless abundance of condos and dorms yet there is not a subway system or hospitals or safe streets and infrastructures below streets leaving us with streets that were better in colonial times and our streets smell like human waste - like shit -- breaks in the sewage pipes and Bloomberg wants to push more condos like Rudin luxury condos - no trauma level 1 hospital -- no rape crisis center but condos in the West Village.

To some movie-goers, the building’s muraled ceilings, stained star-patterned carpeted floors, dual entrance stairways and 150-seat sloping theaters hold historical value. The ornate cornice-covered facade and and boxy construction have survived centuries of nearby demolition which claimed most of the other buildings that were made in the same era.
“70 Henry Street is a contributing building within the historic district on two levels: it is both architecturally and culturally significant to our neighborhood,” Council Member Stephen Levinwrote in a statement to the commission.
Others worried about the precedent set by demolishing protected relics of the past.
“If we allow for one building to be lost, what is to happen to others?” asked Levin. “That is why we have a landmarks law in the first place: to protect the buildings most at risk of being lost to overzealous development.”
