Pool Deprived Residents Take Advantage of Rain

That fool is just BEGGING to get West Nile Virus! What a dope. Please tell me that is a photoshopped pic! I can't believe anyone would be that dumb!

I know. It IS photoshopped. Had me going for a moment. Luxie, you should put in a shark with a Rob Speyer face coming up out of that puddle like "Jaws."

You are sick. Really sick.

I see the sockpuppets have been busy.

Check out this article about the city's plans for a complex with 5,000 units of affordable housing: http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20090625/FREE/906259977.

From the article:
This project is three years in the making—the city first announced plans to acquire the site in 2006 and completed the uniform land use review procedure in November 2008. In exchange for title to the land from the ESDC and the Port Authority, the city has agreed to pay $100 million. The funds will go to several capital projects in Queens that the Port Authority is overseeing. Details about those projects have not been finalized.
The housing component will create 3,000 units for family households of four with incomes between $55,000 and $158,000. The apartments are part of the city’s $7.5 billion New Housing Marketplace Plan, which calls for the preservation and creation of 165,000 affordable housing units across the five boroughs.
“The city sorely needs moderate-and middle-income housing—ask any police officer, firefighter, sanitation worker, teacher or nurse that you know,” said Housing Preservation and Development Commissioner Rafael Cestero, in a statement.
The Hunters Point South development is part of Mr. Bloomberg’s Five Borough Economic Plan.

Other than Dan Garodnick, has anyone else on this blog heard of the New Housing Marketplace Plan, and why haven't we benefited from it? (Being only partly rhetorical.)

Can we all just start getting along again?
Months ago Roundly Roger and I got taken to the woodshed by LL and others because of our disagreements about the TA (whose website I noticed now has eliminated the forum link that had been "under maintenance" for about 8 months).
We may have gotten carried away at times but at least the subject related to STPCV.
Now we are seeing numerous posts containing personal attacks. These posts should cease and I ask LL to try to rein them in.

At this point all I will say is that what you have been writing is not parody - rather it contains many personal attacks capped with telling me to F off .
I and I am sure noone else is laughing with you but we are laughing AT you

For the wannabe hall monitors of Lux Living, Ziggy and Beulah:

Definition of "control freak":

"In psychology-related slang, control freak is a derogatory term for a person who attempts to dictate how everything around them is done. Professor of clinical psychology Les Parrott wrote that "Control Freaks are people who care more than you do about something and won't stop at being pushy to get their way."[1]

In some cases, the control freak sees their constant intervention as beneficial or even necessary; this can be caused by feelings of superiority, believing that others are incapable of handling matters properly, or the fear that things will go wrong if they don't attend to every detail. In other cases, they may simply enjoy the feeling of power it gives them so much that they automatically try to gain control of everything around them."

I don't think many people will feel inclined to vote this blog as "Best Humor Blog" so long as it is controlled by a couple of nasty, abusive snipers who have brought it down to the level of some sort of gutter fight.
