The wicked witch of the East Village, socialite mega millionaire city planner, Amanda Burden, sold our neighborhood out to the junior evil empire Cooper Union, NYU jr. Even Guiliani's city planner said no, this is a shell game. The art world is dead and Cooper Union art students care about money and back real estate greed that continues to crush our community. Cooper Union art students are not anti-establishment but show me the money for free ride.
Cooper Union is tearing down this little Science building and supersizing it and leasing it which has nothing to do with higher education just like the land lease sky piercing mirrored building on the other side of the black cube. The more than half empty sky piercing mirrored building that looks like the architect was high on cocaine. The mirrored building reflects a history destroyed and a community no longer welcome!
Cooper Union's fractured aquarium building, there new studio building on the Bowery is hideous ugly, has nothing to do with the neighborhood and belongs on the set of a bad B hollywood movie, not NYC! There goal is to make Wall Street start at 14th Street and leave a few historic building and we are not welcome in our very own communities and that is city wide under the Bloomberg tsunami of community crushing development!
Cooper Union says they are not as bad as NYU, the evil empire of the East Village. NYU mega dormed the East Village to death but don't kid yourself Cooper Union is NYU, jr. and wishes they could be the community crushing real estate magnate that NYU and the greedy corrupt real estate magnate is on the way.
There was a time art was about anti-establishment -- now it is purely about greed.
Peter Cooper is turning over in his grave! Peter Cooper wanted to educate
poor people, not displace the poor and middle classes including the
push out of small businesses.
NYU, Cooper Union and Columbia University uses their not for profit status as a tax shelter to achieve their greedy corrupt goal to play Monopoly with NYC and it is time to take another look at anti-trust laws and apply them to these vile, corrupt, greedy real estate magnates posing as higher education.
King Mike Bloomberg sold the people of this community out and city wide he did the same for his developer friends. We the people of NYC are an inconvenient presence, an inconvenient truth and still Mike thinks we are going to vote for him.
+ I CONTINUE TO TELL YOU I AM AFRAID FOR OUR SAFETY BECAUSE OF THE TSUNAMI OF COMMUNITY CRUSHING DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS WAY TOO RAPID TO BE SAFE.
THIS IS THE SECOND MASSIVE SUPERSIZING BY COOPER UNION RIGHT BY THE BLACK CUBE AND THE TWO SUBWAY STATIONS THERE ARE ROTTED AND LEAKING!!!!
THE DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN WAY TOO RAPID AND RECKLESS FUELED BY THE SPEED OF GREED AND WE HAVE HAD WAY TOO MANY INFRASTRUCTURE PROBLEMS AND MORE IS TO COME!
Vote him out of office!!!!!!!
