Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

Columbia, like NYU and Hunter and Pratt are whores for the developers.
All those studies telling us how a community being raped by a developer should just lay back and enjoy it.
Without a peep from the prervation community (who not only have grads from the schools, but have the double benefit of making money from development with the assurance that it will not happen in THEIR communities).
Overturn the landmark law. Merry Xmas assholes!
"Columbia, like NYU and Hunter and Pratt are whores for the developers."
Completely agree with one minor correction. Columbia, NYU, Hunter/CUNY and Pratt ARE developers.
There going to build large basements with these new buildings in a flood zone.An ex professor from Columbia warned about this and they ignorned him.
