On Thursday at the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, community and local activists against NYU's massive 2031 expansion plan held an open meeting in an attempt to "extend an olive branch" to NYU and reach a consensus agreement towards the University's use of Village real estate. By the sounds of it, though, not too many from the opposition showed up. No surprise here that this Villager article includes comparisons of the Village community to neighborhood-cherishing Jane Jacobs and NYU to development-greedy Robert Moses. What will happen over the much-disputed territory remains to be seen. [Villager; previously]
