While I appreciate the sentiment, some of the supporting facts are dead wrong. > If we didn't do this, the city where I live, New York, would have a freeway running down the middle of it. That's not really the reason that Robert Moses's LOMEX project failed. > There would be no Central Park. Again, 'national landmarks' are not the reason Central Park was created, nor are they the reason it still exists > The East Village would only have NYU dorms. That's kind of the way Greenwich Village is heading as it is. National landmarks haven't stopped NYU from taking over the neighborhood.
