What would Nell Carter Say To This?


NYU is planning to build a big 26 floor dorm right in the East Village (a few blocks from Campus). It seems that a lot of the locals are angry.

PUH-LEASE! Greenwich Village/East Village residents are perhaps the richest people in the city paying huge amounts of rent, or sometimes very little rent in their controlled buildings. The Bohemian life that made that whole area cool in the first place (remember the glory days of RENT?) no longer exists amongst the overcrowded bars, chic boutiques and trendy eateries.

It's called a free market, homies.
