  • Rochdale Village and the Rise and Fall of Integrated Housing in New York City by Peter Eisenstadt
    Rochdale Village and the rise and fall of integrated housing in New York City by Peter Eisenstadt When Rochdale Village opened in southeastern Queens in late 1963, it was the largest housing cooperative in the world. When fully occupied its 5,860 apartments contained about 25,000 residents. Rochdale Village was a limited-equity, middle-income cooperative. Its apartments could not be resold for a profit, and with the average per room charges when opened of $21 a month, it was on the low end of the middle-income spectrum. (3) It was laid out as a massive 170 acre superblock development, with no through streets, and only winding pedestrian paths, lined with newly planted trees, crossing a greensward connecting the twenty massive cruciform apartment buildings. Rochdale was a typical urban post-war housing development, in outward appearance differing from most others simply in its size. It was, in a word, wrote historian Joshua Freeman, "nondescript." (4) Appearances deceive. Rochdale Village was unique; the largest experiment in integrated housing in New York City in the 1960s, and very likely the largest such experiment anywhere in the United States (5). It was located in South Jamaica, which by the early 1960s was the third largest black neighborhood in the city. Blacks started to move to South Jamaica in large numbers after World War I, and by 1960 its population was almost entirely African American. It was a neighborhood of considerable income diversity, with the largest tracts of black owned private housing in the city adjacent to some desperate pockets of poverty.

  • Robert Moses Replies to Robert Caro
    We Live in a Motorized Civilization: Robert Moses Replies to Robert Caro Geoff Boeing Department of Urban Planning and Spatial Analysis University of Southern California April 2021 Introduction In 1974, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. published Robert Caro’s The Power Broker, a critical biog- raphy of Robert Moses’s dictatorial tenure as the “master builder” of mid-century New York. Moses profoundly transformed New York’s urban fabric and transportation sys- tem, producing the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, the West- side Highway, the Cross-Bronx Expressway, the Lincoln Center, the UN headquarters, Shea Stadium, Jones Beach State Park, and many other projects. However, The Power Broker did lasting damage to his public image and today he remains one of the most con- troversial figures in city planning history. Caro’s book won the 1975 Pulitzer Prize and was eventually named one of the Modern Library’s 100 greatest nonfiction books of the twentieth century. Prior to this critical acclaim, however, came a pointed response from arXiv:2104.06179v1 [econ.GN] 26 Mar 2021 the biography’s subject. On August 26, 1974, Moses issued a turgid 23-page statement denouncing Caro’s work as “full of mistakes, unsupported charges, nasty baseless personalities, and random haymakers.” In his statement, Moses denied having had any responsibility for mass tran- sit, dismissed his “lady critics,” and defended the forced displacement of the poor as a necessary component of urban revitalization: “I raise my stein to the builder who can remove ghettos without moving people as I hail the chef who can make omelets without breaking eggs.” The statement also included a striking passage on what Moses perceived to be his critics’ hypocrisies in the modern age of automobility: “One cannot help being 1 amused by my friends among the media who shout for rails and inveigh against rubber but admit that they live in the suburbs and that their wives are absolutely dependent on motor cars.

    SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF ULSTER _______________________________________________ In the Matter of the Application of JB NICHOLAS, Petitioner, — against — Index No. ERIK KULLESEID, Acting Commissioner, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation; JAMES F. HALL, Director, Palisade Interstate Park Commission; BASIL SEGGOS, Commissioner, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Respondents, For Judgment Pursuant to Article XIV, § 5 of the New York State Constitution and Articles 30 & 78 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules. ________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OF LAW Statement of the Facts The great forests of the Catskills and Adirondacks were decimated in the 19th Century. Mining, logging, tanning, charcoal-making and forest fires destroyed what had been a vast, primeval wilderness. Unless action was taken to save what was left, "the ​ ruthless burning and destruction of the forest" would continue, and "vast areas of naked rock, arid sand and gravel will alone remain," Verplanck Colvin, the State Surveyor, ​ warned in a 1874 report for the State Legislature, Report on the Topographical Survey ​ ​ ​ ​ of the Adirondack Wilderness of New York for the year 1874. ​ 1 In response, New York created the Forest Preserve. Signed into law by Governor ​ David B. Hill, Chapter 283 of the laws of 1885 mandated that "All the lands now owned or which may hereafter be acquired by the State of New York within" 14 counties, including Ulster, "shall constitute and be known as the Forest Preserve." Id. § 7. Forest ​ ​ ​ ​ Preserve lands, the law said, "shall be forever kept as wild forest land. They shall not be sold, nor shall they be leased or taken by any person or corporation, public or private." Id.

    New York State Principals New York State’s High Schools, Middle Schools and Elementary Schools An Open Letter of Concern Regarding New York State’s APPR Legislation for the Evaluation of Teachers and Principals www.newyorkprincipals.org Over the past year, New York State has implemented dramatic changes to its schools. As building principals, we recognize that change is an essential component of school improvement. We continually examine best practices and pursue the most promising research-based school improvement strategies. We are very concerned, however, that at the state level change is being imposed in a rapid manner and without high-quality evidentiary support. Our students, teachers and communities deserve better. They deserve thoughtful reforms that will improve teaching and learning for all students. It is in this spirit that we write this letter, which sets forth our concerns and offers a path forward. We believe that it is our ethical obligation as principals to express our deep concerns about the recently implemented Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) regulations. These regulations are seriously flawed, and our schools and students will bear the brunt of their poor design. Below we explain why we are opposed to APPR as it is presently structured. Background In May 2010, the New York State Legislature—in an effort to secure federal Race to the Top funds— approved an amendment to Educational Law 3012-c regarding the Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) of teachers and principals. The new law states that beginning September 2011, all teachers and principals will receive a number from 0-100 to rate their performance.
