Re: NGCBY
Joe -- Capitalism is sometimes messy
About 2 months ago I drove by a corner in Lexington and in front of the house was a sign from a company that renovates kitchens -- they had just completed or were completing a really nice re-do for a ranch house (circa 1960)
2 weeks later the house was for sale, sale pending then sold in very short order
Last week -- there was a new sign in front of the house "New Construction" -- today there's a hole in the ground where the fancy granite countertop had just bee installed -- though I'm sure the new house will have a nice kitchen as well
No, NU doesn't "need...to support the high demand". Businesses take risks and pay taxes. Businesses seek and create markets for profit. NU does neither.
Seeing as how the 2006 IMP does not mention the YMCA NU should build on properties it already owns.
If 2 10 story dorms were built on the site of Gainsborough Garage and Cullinane Hall MORE students could be housed not less.
