Replies from Rosie - priceless!<br /><br />I think you'll be seeing a zombie apocalypse before you see anything from Rosie's office; she is notorious for ignoring communiques and pleas for help from her constituents. Anyway, she voted for NYU 2031 with this excuse, as posted in Downtown Express: "...Mendez said many people would be happy if she voted “no” and that it would be the “easy thing to do.” But, deferring to her “sister” Margaret Chin, she said she would vote “yes.”"<br /><br />Now I ask you, does that sound like someone who would give a shit about people protesting the yearly influx of NYU bozos? She's just another useless politician placeholding until another one of her ilk is anointed when her term - thankfully - ends.Gojiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-45766408356280651402015-08-30T15:40:30.859-04:002015-08-30T15:40:30.859-04:00I have friends who live in the neighborhood and wo...I have friends who live in the neighborhood and work at NYU and have tried to get the school to maybe provide students with tips on being good neighbors, some kind of reminder that they have neighbors, and the requests have fallen on deaf ears likely because this would find NYU having to admit that its students cause problems in the East Village when it comes to quality of life for everyone around them. It's not just the NYU students but also the new breed of former frat and sorority sister twentysomethings who have invaded the neighborhood and have made it their party zone. And the bars cater to them and encourage the behavior.

If the problems identified in this thread, and as a long-time resident, I know they are true, are getting so outrageous why don't people post the letters (sorry my age is showing)--emails sent to Rosie Mendez and the replies by her or her staff. Venting is fine, but it is only through political action that things change. NYU in the EV is a complicated problem. It brings in several thousand young people who have only a marginal interest in the life of the neighborhood. Yet, they do provide an economic infusion into the neighborhood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-56948285360386916332015-08-30T14:55:38.958-04:002015-08-30T14:55:38.958-04:00TOWN VS GOWN exists EVERYWHERE in this country----...TOWN VS GOWN exists EVERYWHERE in this country----move on, it's NEVER going to change......afbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342511797399979293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-79828292867949799552015-08-30T14:44:35.751-04:002015-08-30T14:44:35.751-04:00They should call it Flounders Hall.

You and your ilk are the reason we have so many gimmicky "restaurants" and chain stores in this neighborhood. Spaces that could better serve the permanent, stable, adult community who call the East Village home much better. But instead it's dumplings, cookies, fro yo, and all-you-can-eat french fry boutiques that you all insist on eating on our stoops, in the gutter, or in the middle of a thicket of bushes. The neighborhood suffers as a whole because businesses are more interested in catering to you rinfantile tastes, fussy trends, and parents money than they are serving the real community.

NYU's problem isn't diversity, the problem is that a small minority of NYÜber Bros™ continue to act like overprivileged suburban brats, maybe as a reaction to the fact that they are becoming a smaller minority within a very diverse school. The largest majority at NYU is female, who make up 60% of the population.. A big perentage of the students lined up on 13th St yesterday were Asian, who make up almost 20% of NYU students. <br /><br />This means the loud Bros we all love to hate are a small minority of NYU and becoming smaller every year. The problem is they still play beer pong in the middle of 2nd Avenue at 3AM and have loud roof ragers all over the EV. The Bros continue to act like they are the majority, even as their numbers dwindle. They are a dying species who are in their final throes before their ultimate extinction. That being said, good luck getting to sleep for the next 9 months.<br /><br />Via NYU:<br /><br />On August 29th, NYU will welcome the over 5,900 members of its 184th freshman class to its NYC campus. Here are some key facts about the newest NYU students, the Class of 2019:<br /><br />• First-time college goers: 20% of the freshman class are the first members of their family to attend a four-year college<br />• Record number of applicants: The 2015 freshman class was chosen from over 60,000 applicants. This is the first time NYU has cracked the 60,000 mark, 15% more than the year prior, and the eighth year in a row of record applications<br />• Academic qualifications increase: Median SAT score is up 10 points from last year; median ACT score is up 1 point <br />• More diversity: This year’s class includes:<br /> o Largest number of African-American freshmen in NYU history, double the percentage NYU had 10 years ago<br /> o Largest number of Latino/a freshmen in NYU history, double the percentage NYU had 10 years ago<br /> o Largest number of international freshmen from the largest number of countries, corresponding to the largest pool of international freshman applicants (more than 13,500 international applicants)<br />• Pell-eligible students: 22% of the Class of 2019 students are Pell-eligible—one of the highest percentages among peer universities.<br />Giovannihttp://urbanmyths.omnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-45131266817686490082015-08-30T09:11:03.862-04:002015-08-30T09:11:03.862-04:00Yes.

Try it sometime and let me know how far you get. NYU has no use for those of us who actually live in this neighborhood - they don't care about our quality of life for one split second. And I know because I did try.<br /><br />NYU's attitude is: we're the 800-pound gorilla and you're nobody.<br /><br />I've lived here since before those dorms were built - back when nobody wanted to be around here because of prostitution, drug dealers, and overall crime. Do you realize that there are MORE students (close to 1,000, and all of them freshmen) in Third North Dormitory than there are full-time ordinary adult people living on the block where the dorm is located? Consider that - more students in ONE dorm building than there are regular residents on the entire rest of the block.<br /><br />Third North is a perfect example of how NYU just overwhelms & floods an otherwise stable neighborhood, destroying the quality of life.

Obviously, its presence has felt more dominant in recent years, largely because of the university's own ambition, but taking it out on the individual students doesn't seem to be the right way to go. <br /><br />I don't know whether this has been attempted, but why not contact the student services department and try and organize some kind of meeting between concerned local residents and the presidents of fraternities/sororities and dorms?<br /><br />You might be surprised by how much dialogue can accomplish. Trust me, a lot of these students don't realize just how much havoc they wreak on area -- it's not that they are inconsiderate, they are just unaware -- and they might adjust their ways if they were informed. Similarly, you guys might be more forgiving if you heard their perspective.Abfushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781408083612877950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-59059378096030836392015-08-29T18:18:40.034-04:002015-08-29T18:18:40.034-04:00Great.
