Re: YMCA/ Northeastern Dorm (formerly GrandMarc at St. Botolph)
Ron you are forgetting that school still has a lot of commuter students and faculty from out of state.
The YMCA isn't being opposed by the majority of the community, as in the immediate neighbors, but by the usual shakedown artists and suburban members of the YMCA that use that facility after work.
I'm kind of hoping the deal falls through at some point now. Have the YMCA close the branch and sell it to a private developer, some asshole like Druker, that sticks a luxury hotel on the site to replace the Midtown down the street. It would be the ultimate "fuck you" to the usual weasels that ruin every institutional project in the city looking for a payoff.
