It's replacing an empty medical dorm, which has already been replaced, so isn't removing any units of housing. And those housing units were never available to the public anyways.

They're just talking. They don't care about that building, that's why they don't know what's going on. They're just against a new building.

According to the demolition permit, the 270-foot-tall residence, which housed staff, medical and doctoral students for the hospital and Weill Cornell Medical Center, is currently unoccupied.
