Its always about the money, so like you stated the astronomical rise of real estate in that area could be spot on with a relationship between the lobbyists and the feds. I have a buddy who lives and works in the Village, he is a just good dude whos is a bartender, who loves that area of NY.

Thanks for that info I like history stuff like that, you will not get from anywhere else except someone who lived it thanks, and to gigante that just goes to his power......I am not a big PC person in many aspects of society but never went to NYC until the Giuliani days so, would have liked to seen NYC before that time. Thanks for the info
