Good news from NYC - Bloomberg's Midtown East Redevelopment plan defeated by City Council! [View all]
Mayor Bloomberg's overly ambitious development plan for Midtown East has been defeated by city council! Bloomberg really wanted to push this through before the end of his term. Bloomberg's plan slated 73 blocks in midtown east for redevelopment. It is true that the area has many aging office buildings, some of which should certainly be replaced. But there were also many historic buildings in that zone that should be protected. Somewhere, from her perch on a cloud, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis smiles!

Now if we could only find a way to stop the construction of the seven monstrous towers slated for Central Park South!
