Years ago they were focused like lasers on preventing gentrification, ensuring there was enough low-income housing in the area and protecting the rights of the locals. They vilified then-Councilman Antonio Pagan as The Destroyer of the Neighborhood when he embarked on a plan to build more middle-income, fixed-rate housing, even though it was to benefit EV residents, but they've long ago left anything Pagan oversaw in the dust. Their commitment to destruction and upscale redevelopment for the sake of their bottom line betrays precisely what greedy hypocrites these assholes are. Here's hoping they all burn in gentrification hell.Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-24590110484443671362010-11-18T12:24:55.429-05:002010-11-18T12:24:55.429-05:00Isn't this headline a lil' assuming?

Anything built on this site will kill the value of CH's northern side. And any new buidling here would have nothing of the famed southern exposure called sunlight. Maybe both the Cooper Hotel and the new building can sell the great views into eachother's rooms... only feet away you can watch a tourist changing clothes!Bowery Boynoreply@blogger.com
