Date: June 18th, 2018 7:38 AM Author: brilliant soggy institution "As New York enters the third decade of the twenty-first century, it is in imminent danger of becoming something it has never been before: unremarkable. It is approaching a state where it is no longer a significant cultural entity but the world’s largest gated community, with a few cupcake shops here and there. For the first time in its history, New York is, well, boring."

Date: June 18th, 2018 7:41 AM Author: Naked Gas Station "We have been almost a parody of multiculturalism on our little street. Black and white, Hispanic and Asian; straight, gay, and transgender; families of all kinds—extended, adopted, arranged by convenience or design. Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist. I would come home and see the daughters of our Sikh mailman, before they grew up, playing baseball in the halls. In the evening, I sat at my desk in a little space, in this building cubbyholed with other little spaces and held together by what was once described as “a hundred years of spit and dust,” and felt as though I were poised over the center of the world. Beneath me I could hear a hive of dinnertime conversations carried on in half a dozen languages, smell cooking that came from all over the world, hear someone ringing a gong and repeating a Buddhist chant."
OH WHAT A UTOPIA IT WAS!!! |

Date: June 18th, 2018 7:53 AM Author: Naked Gas Station There was a strong romantic notion of NYC as a diverse group of people collectively scraping by in tight confines working towards hard fought dreams in a city full of quirky places and characters. Those places are now Duane Reades. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4004472&forum_id=2#36264076) |

Date: June 18th, 2018 8:17 AM Author: Slap-happy black knife “Not long ago a rent-stabilized building would sell for ten or at most twelve times its rent roll—the amount of money, before expenses, that it generates in a year,” wrote journalist Michael Greenberg in a meticulous analysis that appeared in last August’s New York Review of Books. “Today it sells for perhaps thirty or forty times that amount, or ten times what the rent roll would be after regulated tenants have been dislodged.”
Confirms what I had long thought. The kick out rent stabilized tenants by any means necessary is caked into the buy price. Oddly this makes these buildings a profitable buy only for those sociopathic enough to systematically root out tenants. There are some protections but it is basically fill steam ahead to de rent stabilized nyc. |

Date: June 18th, 2018 9:12 AM Author: Slap-happy black knife This is not free market though, there are a set of rules, that few play by, that some get in trouble for breaking and others don't and it's all a big bizzare mess (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4004472&forum_id=2#36264270) |
