Columbia to occupy 17 acres north of 125th St! In supporting Columbia U. Scott Stringer let his community down. Displacing three thousand plus residents in a Manhattan housing market that is already beyond the reach of all but the UPPER middle class is worse than no good. Columbia clearing out long time residents while at the same time turning a piece of its campus into a park is worse than imperial. This is yet another example of our racing backwards in time to the heyday of robber barons and earlier (Columbia U in its first days was known as King's College).
