Back on Bleecker Street
No luxury condos in sight
Only old New York__
Tht view is from a 9th floor balcony overlooking Bleecker Street on Mercer is the John C Paulson Center, a multi-storyed glass and steel mongrossity with classrooms, study Space, athletics, housing, dining, and a community space none of which is accessible to the community. According to the website Public Open Spaces: The adjacent outdoor pedestrian pathways and ground-level outdoor areas (like the Greene Street Walk) remain accessible to the neighborhood, but indoor facility wandering by non-affiliates is restricted by security. NYU has also refused union organzing.
The billionaire dream epitomizes the lack of taste from the wealthy and I know that Paulson has good taste in art, having visited his office with its spleni Calder mobiles. The Center shows nothing, but an eye sore unlike the view from the 9th balcony__
