I have nothing against Cornell, it's a great school, but I'm not sure where this logic that the city needs a tech school comes from? There are a number of top notch universities in the NYC area. The city alone is home to NYU and Columbia - isn't it easier to just beef up the their programs by redistributing space and using the money to attract faculty members? Has Carnegie Mellon resulted in a tech startup ecosystem in the city of Pittsburgh? Seems more like a political play on the part of Bloomberg. If you want to build your company into a Apple, Intel, Google, etc. in NYC - good luck finding the space to do it. What you will more likely see in the city are smaller sized startups that will find success in working alongside with the many other industries that exist in the city, such as finance, media and fashion. And that's not a bad thing.
