Nathan’s Was Knocked Over – The Poor Neighbors of The New School
New York School Construction Authority posted this photo.
We can really see how close this school will be to the apartment – the poor people who live theree!
The area around this school looks blighted because not one politician will tell the NYC School Construction Authority that they are required to maintain the exterior fence.
The fence has been covered with graffiti for months and Senator Gounardes hasn’t had the anti-graffiti team, that he claimed to have around election time take care of it.
Doesn’t Brannan and Gounardes and their staff members pass this place and see what a mess it is? Or do they live somewhere else?
One of the strangest things about this new school is that Community Board 10 did not ask for a transportation safety report BEFORE this school is built.
It’s a terribly dangerous intersection and no one seemed to be concerned about safety because they don’t have children or just don’t care.
The community was not allowed to have input on this building at the Community Board 10 Meeting. It was a done deal that went down.
In other communities, the community board works a bit differently. I’ve attended other community boards and non-board members are allowed input when there is a discussion of development.
Of course everyone knows the huge price tag on this building (See here) and that another “school property” was purchased from the same owner on 5th Avenue. The Community Board 10 Meeting for the second school was strange. (See here)
