And when the school is as well known as NYU, students are going to flood in. If rents were any kind of reasonable in NYC, new dorms wouldn't have to be erected to accomodate the influx. And no 12 story building will ever be constructed in NYC that hasn't been planned, replanned, zoned, rezoned, and finally accepted by a governing board, so the assertions that, "NYU does what it wants without informing anyone in the neighborhood," seem to be sophomoric complaints of uninvolved people. Doesn't anyone ever read the notices on the intended plots of land? I guess not. When the city is your campus, the city is going to suffer in some way to accomodate the schools and the students.

Don't they have to go through the community board and adhere to zoning laws? How can NYU erect any building they want? Don’t they have to go through the community board and adhere to zoning laws?
