No one in the Cooper community was informed about these plans until after they were made. A school cannot be an anchor for the dorms when it is 1. only given priority (not commitment) for 2. less than half of the planned rooms.<br /><br />A side note: it wouldn't really be 'new' residents in the sense that, for Cooper at least, many of the students live in the neighborhood already anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-84423120003164633842013-04-25T20:20:39.853-04:002013-04-25T20:20:39.853-04:00It should be a community center with a ground-leve...It should be a community center with a ground-level community store with all variety of vegan and organic snacks.

If they own the land, and want to turn it into a dorm, fine- let them. Better a dorm than a monument to decay. Stop trying to keep young people out of the neighborhood. If you're worried about who the young people are when they move in, then let the neighborhood sink into them. I was a college kid, too, once. I'm sure a lot of you were. I've lived on 9th Street, and watched scaffolding rise and fall on the outside of this building, with zero progress made, ever. I remember when the building next door to it was still an empty basketball court, where a little blue stuffed bear would lie facedown, unmoved, for years, as the seasons changed around him. The snows would bury him in the winter, back when it used to snow. Eventually - a building came and the bear was gone. Now that lot is someone's home. I'm sure the bear wouldn't mind, wherever it is. He'd been through worse.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-22743499397818256582013-04-24T00:09:47.111-04:002013-04-24T00:09:47.111-04:00Happily signed....

However we can still let our voices be heard about what this building becomes and how it will impact our neighborhood. 500 people seems a lot for one building of that size and would it not be under used in the summer months? One way or another housing will be part of its future and most of us will not be happy no matter how the pieces fall.
