Building more classrooms on laguardia place will only mean that the increased student population will need places to live... that will be in the EV.

I don't like how kids my age act around the neighborhood a lot of the time.<br />If NYUers and Yuppie juniors want to get drunk, act like frat people, and live in a culture-less luxury building, thats fine- just NOT in the East Village.<br /><br />I like certain parts of this neighborhood because it has a sense of community. I try to respect the families and long-time residents here because I want to feel like I'm a part of it.<br /><br />At the heart of all the problems luxury condos bring is a certain attitude when approaching any community-minded decision- They aren't a part of it because they think they're 'above' it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-41193490969944785182012-01-19T13:52:50.046-05:002012-01-19T13:52:50.046-05:00And I thought my building on E. 7th with a doorman...And I thought my building on E. 7th with a doorman was a bit out of the ordinary for the neighborhood.

The problem with that is there are still a lot of children living in public housing. One of the cut programs is actually in Lillian Ward Houses - so poor school kids lose out because of expensive development, most of which isn't even meant for families with privileged kids who don't need free after school programs. And meanwhile Bloomberg talks about how important education is to the future of the city. <br /><br />I'll miss the East Village when I leave NYC, but I will not miss the greed of developers.francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340817971207320926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-45739325507274981522012-01-19T09:43:01.648-05:002012-01-19T09:43:01.648-05:00I'd like to rent one square foot please!I'd like to rent one square foot please!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-85439143377989974762012-01-19T09:21:14.064-05:002012-01-19T09:21:14.064-05:00wait, the EV is up and coming?wait, the EV is up and coming?Bowery Boogiehttp://www.boweryboogie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-69479921019802671752012-01-19T09:00:14.790-05:002012-01-19T09:00:14.790-05:00Ugh, this is no way to start the day.
