<p>i support it. I think if you are affiliated with columbia in any way you want it to continue to prosper and the only way that’ll happen is if they have more space…otherwise they’ll no longer be competitive in the academic world. As manhattan keeps getting more and more expensive people are moving north so if columbia doesn’t buy out these neighborhoods first others will. </p>
<p>oh and the hunger strikers are morons…i think this has already been discussed on this board.</p>
<p>EDIT: also, i think that the minority of students who don’t support it have really drowned out or intimidated the students who do support it…i wouldnt be surprised if the split between non-supporters and supporters is more like 10/30 rather than 10/10.</p>
