Guess now there's no point. </p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/09/10/extell_corporat.php#comment-353738 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/09/10/extell_corporat.php#comment-353738 Comments Mon, 11 Sep 2006 18:13:37 -0500 <p>Extell swallowing the East Village.

My building is only about 40 percent occupied right now.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/09/10/extell_corporat.php#comment-352617 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/09/10/extell_corporat.php#comment-352617 Comments Mon, 11 Sep 2006 09:21:16 -0500 <p>sickening.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/09/10/extell_corporat.php#comment-352498 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/09/10/extell_corporat.php#comment-352498 Comments Mon, 11 Sep 2006 08:21:20 -0500 <p>Man...my apartment is smack in the middle of that red triangle (11th between A and B), and this story practically made me do a sptit take with my coffee.

The spirit of Robert Moses has never died; it just got privatized.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/09/10/extell_corporat.php#comment-351924 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/09/10/extell_corporat.php#comment-351924 Comments Mon, 11 Sep 2006 00:30:26 -0500 <p>Wow.

In fact, they should remove units already there, build new houses 35 miles from the city, and provide every resident an SUV to commute to the city to work. Then they won't be abused by any more of these vicious threats of development.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/09/10/extell_corporat.php#comment-351284 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/09/10/extell_corporat.php#comment-351284 Comments Sun, 10 Sep 2006 15:38:58 -0500 <p>mother of all fuck.</p>
