I did have a problem with the site being turned into a high rise. Students need a place to live where they can be supervised. There's nothing worse then students moving into apartment buildings ruining the quality of life for other residents. I don't think this is going to be much of a problemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-17554282656951639322013-04-26T18:06:43.890-04:002013-04-26T18:06:43.890-04:00Please sign EVCC's petition and email the DOB ...Please sign EVCC's petition and email the DOB Commisioner with your concerns:<br /><br />http://www.nyc.gov/html/mail/html/maildob.html<br /><br />Stringer and his cronies must be lookign at this website.

It's beehive, wonderful to see. And a Community Center would be one of the few amenities for the many non upscale residents of Loisaida. And have you ever tried to find space for a grassroots meeting here? Our needs in this community are so clear. A dorm serves -- the school and the bars.

For Pre-K in Manhattan, there's five applicants for every available seat. The school-age population of the city is booming. We have wonderful public schools and they're in demand, despite all the bullshit (high-stakes testing, school closures, city-subsidized magnets encroaching and taking up public space) that the pro-privatization Bloomberg Administration has thrown at them.

There are some really great schools here that could use room to grow and stretch. THAT is what that building should be used for -- not as a means for this vandal developer to milk college students for glorified bunk beds.

I'm all for it being "returned to the community" rather than bring in 500 college kids, but I'm not clear if any nonprofit has expressed serious interest. It seems like the theater proposal didn't go anywhere and would have only involved that part of the building...Thanks!Janosnoreply@blogger.com
