The High Line runs through the West Village? The only purpose of the park is to enhance West Village property owners' wealth? You're free to criticize the park all you want but your criticisms might find more traction if they were reality-based.

Yes, let's spend millions of federal money on the High Line - a park which will only serve to enhance the property values of multimillionaires in the West Village. Brilliant!
