It is a sad day when hundreds of tenants living for years in Park West Village have had their quality of life ruined by greedy developers and the developers get an award for doing this. Shame shame on you. With no concern for the elderly, children and families living there under hazardous conditions, no trees, no outside sitting areas, constuction so close to their apartments they can almost touch it. Money has clouded the moral obligation that our politions are suppose to have for the New Yorkers that moved here when this was one of the most undesirable areas to live in at that time. They helped make the Upper West Side a multi-racial neighborhood where people cared about each other and worked together to develope this wonderful neighborhood. Now, it was stolen right from under them. Mayor Bloomberg, the DOB, City Planners you should hang your head in shame. I predict that in five years most of these new over-priced develpments will be half empty when the shit hits the fan. We as Westsiders will prevail no matter what obsticals you lay before us. UNITED WE STAND..WE ARE THE FOUNDATION OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TAKE US DOWN. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I am a Westsider for life.

Why is it that the Avalon building on 110th Street, which started construction after this oversized project is complete and renting, while this ugly, poorly planned 808 Columbus Ave project seems far from complete? The noise and dirt, never mind the beautiful orange glow from the netting is making me mentally ill. But then again, that is probably the intent of the developers.

If you dont like it, then move. The tenants and other people who believe its their God-given right to live in rent-controlled apartments and have unfettered control over their neighborhoods should get a grip on reality. The neighborhood is improving and if it is less comfortable than the Soviet-style living you are accostomed to, that is too bad.
