Allure acted in a pretty shady manner, sure, but it was still legal. And Slate, the end buyer, did nothing wrong at all except get caught up in a corrupt city process.<br /><br />The City wants to undo this because they took a relatively tiny sum of money without doing their homework about end uses, and got burned. You can even make the case that Allure, who acted in an ethically gray area, should want to remedy their mistake (though how many of us are turning around and giving up a $72 million profit?). But Slate? All they did was buy a building to develop. What POSSIBLE motive do they have? Nothing to feel guilty or shameful about in their actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-77556924038580723022016-06-27T18:25:48.303-04:002016-06-27T18:25:48.303-04:00Thanks EV Grieve. The Neighbors to Save Rivington ...Thanks EV Grieve. The Neighbors to Save Rivington House are a collection of neighbors, people whose family members lived in RH, former staff, local organizations, friends and families who are desperate need of a nursing home right now, and larger organizations that are trying to keep this in the public eye - and in Mayor de Blasio's eye. And yes people did this deal so people can undo it. Even China Vanke could. We were told to give up before we started but we are not helpless pawns. They once said the Divine Right of Kings was forever. How'd that work out?<br />YOU can help.

This transaction, I believe was legal. But if all parties agree, it can be undone. But there's no one involved who is mortal enough to undo the transaction. And if there is no one moral enough to insist that the deal be undone, as voters our democracy is a fraud. That's where this is at. SO we have to ask, where is the moral outrage over this? cmarrtyynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-75649183162997051192016-06-26T16:05:21.054-04:002016-06-26T16:05:21.054-04:00The problem is that people like to sit behind thei...The problem is that people like to sit behind their computer screens and boohoo about the good old days of cheap living in the EV but then when it comes time to actually do something, they're complacent in their little rent stabilized apartment.

A purchase of property which violates the law should not be allowed to stand. We need to win this one as a city.
