Columbia’s Expansion
Here's a surprise: the Daily News editorial board has endorsed Columbia University (CU) expansion plans.
What The Wonkster forgot to mention in yesterday's post is that NoLandGrab tracks developments in Manhattanville because both the Atlantic Yards project and the CU expansion will use eminent domain to complete the acquisition of property.
The Daily News states that, "The university has purchased most of the properties west of Broadway between 125th and 133rd Sts." They left out the inconvenient truth — like in Prospect Heights the properties were purchased under threat of eminent domain.
