What’s at stake are the financial interests of the Museum, two powerful non-profits, the developer and the real estate company versus the people who live on this block. It’s a classic New York struggle over power and influence that’ll go before the City Council in a matter of weeks.

See in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Yuk, you don’t OWN your property. YOu merely pay through the nose for it, but it’s owned by the hive. The Communists there have more say over “your property” than you do.

Argh!
