Roger Cohen in the NY Times today had a paragraph that was just so wonderful, I had to share it.
The new premises, as I’ve gradually learned, placed us just within the garment district, an area where zoning laws have protected apparel manufacturing space and so held off the developers who would otherwise have turned clothes factories into condos and created yet another gentrified district bereft of seediness, tawdriness, community and that strange high-low alchemy essential to any great city’s mystery and charge.
This is why the corruption of ideas, neighborhoods, and money by the BRA and City Hall is so detrimental to our town.
