As much as I hate the destruction of the neighborhood, it's hard to take signs like that seriously. Projects like this GENERATE taxes off the yuppies that allow people like those to continue to live in low-mid income housing, enjoy community gardens and benefit from other government welfare programs. I relate to that punk rock sensibility, but it's unintelligent signs like these that ruin the more valuable reasons not to tear down historic buildings and put up modern monstrosities.

By the way
Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.
We love tips
Have a story idea or tip about something happening in the East Village? Or maybe a photo? Or several photos? Or video! We'd love to hear about it. Or see it. Or something. Please go here to submit a tip.

looks less and less like a village and looking more like disney land
but the people who lived in the demolished building were offered very low cost apts in the new building.
Its looked like Disneyland down there for a number of years now.
Do you people insist on Whole Foods and then bitch about the building that its in?
