For me personally it isn't about preserving this park so much as its a matter of giving into the United Nations......why deprive the children their park to give a brand new tower to an organization trying to block our country out of the economic community in the 21st century? I'd hate to think of a bunch of European diplomats sitting in their new office tower in our own finacial capitol trying to think of ways to block our country out of a growing global market
Those European diplomats you speak of are already here, and as the city does with major corporations, Bloomberg knows it's in the best interests of the city to keep them here. You may or may not agree with everything the UN says or does, but I doubt you would with every practice of any other company or entity that occupies office space in the city.
