“I’m a real estate broker, and I’ve been here for 15 years. We didn’t want [the construction of this billboard] to happen. We wanted this area, the West Village, to remain historic, and certainly this billboard, with the hotel already not fitting into the rest of neighborhood, is not something we’d like to see. Maybe it would have been better if it had just been on the side of the building and not so conspicuous?”
— Susan Doherty, 45, real estate broker, West Village

“I read about those protests. I don’t really think that it makes a difference. It’s just another ad in the neighborhood, you know? You can’t just keep everything the same—that’s what some people want, that nothing will change, but things are already changing. Besides, this hotel is going to give some of the money back to the community, to artists, and something has to pay for that money.”
— Henry Gonzalez, 71, retired, Chelsea

“I think it’s horrible that they put it up! The other billboards have already been there for years. I’ve been here for 40 years, and I think the hotel is too big in the first place. They’re changing things too much, there’s going to be no character left in the area, and they’re taking the character away with these ads.”
— Matt O’Neill, 72, retired, West Village |
