what is it with people and their fear of any kind of change? do you really expect every neighborhood in the city to remain static for the rest of your lifetime? whether you like how a neighborhood is changing or not, isn't it unrealistic to expect it to remain the same. the neighborhood you love today was not the same 20 years ago. and i bet that people who have been there since then resent the changes that made you love it in the first place

I could care less how the Bowery intersects with Houston, because I won't be walking there much anyway. That whole neighborhood has had most of its soul and character sucked out years ago.

The empire state building was built in 15 months. Takes them over two f()cking years to fix four blocks of street.

hey, listen weiner - i don't know if you're from Iowa or something but Gothamist is right, Houston will never be the same. I grew up on Bleeker street and have seen Houston change, building by building, stone by stone. Not only will the renovations cause traffic and clean air problems but it will also finally define Houston Street as a street that has passed into the annuls of passe bullshit. What is one to do?
