It's a neighborhood killer when predatory landlords and business owners help to drive out tenants and destroy people's quality of life through inch by inch construction in colaboration with the people who have and continue to destroy our neighborhood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-32466920895496796602011-08-24T16:31:21.207-04:002011-08-24T16:31:21.207-04:00@ anon 2:18

Their big challenge will be maintaining quality employees. Unlike think, they aren't so pretentious. They should ban NYU students, those 'people' take up the spaces for hours. They have 100 lounges and study spaces and libraries but they have to hog the few spaces open to the public.nygrumpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-19988509261549910422011-08-24T12:48:38.341-04:002011-08-24T12:48:38.341-04:00Wow, that's great news!
