"Usually, terrible things that are done with the excuse that progress requires them are not really progress at all, but just terrible things."—Russell Baker
It's ironic that Yassky supported the garden's destruction. He's been a major advocate for legalized beekeeping and touts his environmental record in his mailings and on his website. I'm saddened to think of this bit of habitat—a tiny gem of green amidst a sorrowful sea of concrete—destroyed needlessly. I continue to believe that incorporating this garden (along with the beautiful old Snyder building) into the new plan could have produced a model school structure with numerous educational possibilities. Alas, expediency trumps imagination yet again.
