Re: Liberty Science Center announces $230 million expansion

"Other major cities have launched similar sci-tech and education partnerships to increase entrepreneurship and job growth. For example, Cornell NYC Tech, a plan developed by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is under construction on Roosevelt Island, through a partnership between Cornell University and the Technion ? Israel Institute of Technology."


Citing an incomplete plan as justification is grasping at straws. The Cornell-Technion partnership is at least supported by proven institutions, well-financed, and the result of many years of planning.

The Liberty Science Center plan has none of that. The idea sounds like something out of the Onion, rather than a quality plan to develop tech jobs.

This is an attempt to dress up a land grab and government giveaway to a marginal institution. LSC has not been a great benefit to Jersey City. It is in no sense notable for science, being at best science-y rather than scientific. The name alone (SciTech Scity: really?) says that whoever is behind this has some half-baked ideas.

A travel disaster in the making. They need to think this one through again.
