Fighting "overdevelopment" is yesterday's war. I'm hoping that the City Council can find the nerve to resist and maybe save New York from the NIMBY's. Who really thinks that during the long depression we face overdevelopment is really going to be a problem?

Yeah, the "fix" is in. The BSA has plenty of room to allow this valid and well-conceived project. Thats some fix. All of Mr. Stein's development costs should count toward his application. The guy was late getting the foundation poured because he changed his building several times in consultation with the "community". Thats what he gets for listening to their input, he should have just gone ahead and poured. "Community" in this case means the people who stay up late at night opposing other people's developments. People who go to work in the morning and don't have time for endless "activism" are clearly not part of the community. To build anything smaller in this space is a crime against city life. Good Luck Mr. Stein.
