The media is certainly hot and heavy for Goldman Sachs (GS) scoops. We noted recently the New York Times reported Goldman had Battery Park residents angry over the loud ferries it had been using. Now comes news from the Daily Telegraph that the gilded bank has also offended some people living near its fancy 200 West Street global HQ. 

At issue: The type of retail outlets that the firm is bringing to its building. Local residents say they had a deal for some basic stores. But "out will go a DSW shoe shop, a recently closed New York Sports Club gym, and a pizza takeaway from buildings attached to 200 West Street, of which Goldman is the landlord. In will come a trio of restaurants run by Danny Meyer--the New York City restaurant wunderkind--as well as a new ballroom and conference centre, attached to the hotel which will be upgraded."

The bank says not all of the tenants will be super high end. Goldman also says it has consulted residents every step of the way.
