Regarding your article on St Brigid and the school sad... I just found it now. I am totally pissed off at the archdisease that is destroying the church, and this Singer dude destroying the school. Those stained glass windows and the other items destroyed SHOULD have been saved at the very least. The handwriting is on the wall , with the windows gone and interior torn up, an injunction will only delay the inevitable. On the school- the time to landmark is BEFORE people like Singer get hold of buildings, not AFTER, it's too late then. I thought you might be interested to see my Lost New York City web site with many photos taken in the 70's of demolished buildings on the Lower East Side, and ornaments saved from them. I remember the church and the Cristodora house when it was a vacant shell around 1978 http://www.lostnewyorkcity.com Randall

jvick, what in God's name are you talking about? Rent is a function of demand. If you're suggesting that leaving historical buildings standing affects the amount of available housing in any measurable way, you've got some problems with scale.

Saving buildings that are falling down or eyesores such as 2 Columbus Circle are the reasons why citizens in NYC pay so much for rent.

The Committee to Save St. Brigid's Church and the New York Landmarks Conservancy are the two most active advocates for the preservation of St. Brigid's Church ("Save St. Brigid's Now" no longer appears to be active). The Village Voice’s blog “Powerplays” has also been monitoring the situation at both St. Brigid's and P. S. 64 daily. http://www.villagevoice.com/blogs/powerplays/ Please visit these websites for the latest, breaking information: The Committee to Save St. Brigid's Church http://www.savestbrigid.com/ The New York Landmarks Conservancy (NYLC) http://www.nylandmarks.org/ NYLC’s St. Brigid's page: http://eguana.net/organizations.php3?action=printContentItem&orgid=79&typeID=644&itemID=19075&User_Session=8a4e5a4d61d869dac6ccd200f2e3f42b NYLC’s Advocacy for Threatened Historic Catholic Churches: http://eguana.net/organizations.php3?action=printContentItem&orgid=79&typeID=644&itemID=18762&User_Session=009a9d487a8cda60a0e6beffe1fbac11 NYLC’s Endangered Buildings Online (database for threatened NYC buildings of artistic and historic significance) http://ebo.nylandmarks.org/

Instead of all the chaos Gregg Singer should just do what the Craft Museum did when they wanted to destroy 2 Columbus Circle and simply put a former chairperson of the landmarks commission on the payroll. The landmark commission has already proven that they're for sale.

It seems you and I are the only one's who seem remotely interested in these kind of posts. The reckless disregard of building codes, the greed, the spite etc. The lax enforcement and penalties. Garth, I rather have you post more of this than those previous stories.
