Bulldozing the Albany Pine Bush

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot,
With a pink hotel, a boutique,
And a swinging hot spot.
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone?

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum.
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to see ’em.

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

NYSERDA in the Pine Bush

|

Back as recently as 1995, this was still Albany Pine Bush. Now it's home to the NYSERDA, the NY State Energy Research and Development Agency, that tacks taxes on everybody's energy bills, so they can have money to lease space in Albany Pine Bush, and talk about sustainable energy use, while consuming lots of it.

Peering Into Hotel Site

That's where the new Marriott is supposed to go, if the developers get their way. They already flattened the land, and it appears now that they are cutting back around the site, and reducing the trees to wood chips.
