<p>Manhattanville is a very divisive subject on campus. Well…I’d say 10% highly disapprove, 10% support, and 80% dont really care.</p>
<p>Personally, I’m between not caring and supporting on principle. It’s Manhattan, it’s an island, therefore land is scarce and valuable. It should go to the people that can develop it to its potential, simple economics. The people living there have been bought out at market price or higher, I dont really see the problem. Columbia gives a lot back to the community (tutoring, development, etc) as it is. I honestly believe expanding will help upper Manhattan more than leaving Manhattanville as it is.</p>
<p>But that’s just my opinion. You have people on both sides of the spectrum like I said (hunger strikers anyone?).</p>
<p>Look at bwog.net, the spec, etc for the full range of reactions.</p>
