The end of Washington Square Park as we know it. Over $14 million spent on Phase 1, with more phases as yet unfinanced. A fiscally irresponsible plan in the worst economy since the Great Depression. What can Mayor Bloomberg, the man responsible for this mess, offer New York City? We need new leadership. Call 311 and tell Bloomberg what you think, or go to www.youtube.com for other people to contact.

WTF!!! That park is a landmark! What the hell are they thinking? Just to replace it with something commercial I’m sure. Jez, what a complete shame. How can people let something like that happen? Couldn’t anything have been done to stop it?
Vellonikis has set heterosexual/homosexual relations in the Village back 50 years, as surely as O.J. did racial ones in L.A.
oh shit its Mr. Saucedo!
holy shit – what a fucken waste of time and money – fuck you new york city parks commish and all those who got paid to be a part of this crap !
At 00:43 seconds…”Who cares what they feel.” A smirking George Vellonakis, NYC Parks Department Designer, speaking about those who “…don’t feel that all, every park needs the same character.”
This says it all.
What a shame!!!!
The City is destroying our park! Instead of care and renovation we are losing a historic public gathering place. Thank you for letting everyone know what is happening.
Matt – This video is so great! Farbeon’s voice & words are perfect for this tragedy, and it is a tragedy on so many levels.
Yo Farbeon this is hot, i like that you are standing up for what you believe in. I stand up for human rights.
Take Care, Daniel Familia
Nice video.
Yo Far.. Good shyt man. This has been killing me for a while. Glad you’re putting it out there for people to see.
Damn…I live on Tompkins Square Park (a few blocks to the east) and I know what to expect once they renovate WSP; it will be a goddam precious park like Gramercy. Pretty soon, you’ll need a key to get into all of them. Yeah, it sucks.
awesome
dammn farbeon you went hard awsome video man kepp doing the good shit !!!!!!!!!!
This is a big problem. I’m not from New York, but the few times I’ve been, I visited Washington Square Park to see real culture. To me, this park is New York. I walked through and was able to join in on the art and music. I never felt like an outsider. I guess, this is just another casualty of America’s quest to look exactly the same everywhere you go. All hail the United States Of Generica.
Damn man. This is so sad, and such an enormous waste of money and resources. But what a great way to spin a classic track. Right on point.
this is hot! when is it going up on mtv?
this is clip is F R E S H….
