If you're not already gay, this promo for Z100's Stuyvesant Town Apartment Giveaway will have you swearing off vag for the rest of your life.Local radio station Z100 and Stuyvesant Town are giving away a free year-long lease to a furnished Stuy Town apartment. Nikki Stern, Director of Leasing at Stuyvesant Town, and an overly caffeinated, nameless gal pal give you the Mineola meets Bronx Beat perspective on the apartment one lucky winner will crap up.
Stern, seven months pregnant, and her perky friend chirp away for five painful minutes in a cavernous sounding apartment which only intensifies their heinous accents. The gal pal's enthusiasm for the benign Huffman Koos furniture is frightening as is her over use of the word 'gorgeous.' The only thing lacking in the ovary-orientated piece is where the contest winner can find the nearest Pink Berry and Tampon Hut.
The cheap commercial further shows how desperate Tishman Speyer is to fill their Stuyvesant Town apartments. In a city where the need for affordable housing is at an all time high, it's anyone's guess why Tishman Speyer is consciously appealing to Long Island's trashiest.
do any st apartments offer north views of the empire state? maybe pcv, but st?
Just so you know, this is what is accurate about that computer-generated picture: the floor, the position of the front door and the kitchen doorway, the window, and the wall color. Left out are the radiator under the window, the kitchen door, the ubiquitous beams (ceiling and walls), the true proportions of the room, including the ceiling height. The view, if it were real, could possibly be to the south--that's definitely not the Empire State Building. Having once had an unobstructed southern view, though, I think this is another computer fantasy.
From 2000-2005 I sublet a friend's north-facing "D" apt at 272 First Ave, and that was precisely the layout, although the views of the Empire State Bldg and Chrysler Bldg weren't as grand as that photo depicts -- conspicuously missing are, yup, you guessed it, trees and other ST buildings! The vantage point through the "window" suggests ST buildings are 20-25 stories tall.
BTW, "swearing off vag" and "Tampon Hut" is some juvenile, weak-ass shit. Yeah, LL, it's probably for the better you're hanging it up.
Not yet
In yet another desperate attempt to salvage some value from their disasterous purchase of STPCV, Tishman Speyer is proposing to demolish several buildings and build 30-40 story edifices to house the kind of people that according to TS and The Lord Mayor (for life) Bloomberg belong in Manhattan, i,e, NOT US.
Have to agree with you there. That sounds like something the [real] girl would write.
As if I would entertain the notion of taking literary criticism from someone who uses the term "weak-ass shit."
And is this the "girl" who pines after a convicted murderer?I am so confused.
Girl is a published author whose work I greatly admire so I'll take that as a compliment. My tone has been consistent since day one. Glad you woke up.
I'm referring to the real Girl who writes a character that's hung up on Scott Peterson.
Oh ok .This whole issue of commentator imposters is getting quite confusing. Could this be another example of a cyber assault by the North Koreans or are Jerry and Robbie Speyer now hiring people to disrupt this site?
I deleted fake Girl and if her creator starts again he'll be deleted too.
Thank you for the compliment. This piece is yet another brilliant piece of satire by Lux that obviously went waaaay over your head. "Tampon Hut" has been used on LL since the early days of this blog, and is a hilarious reference to the changing neighborhood catering to NYU students.
But to each their own...so if you find the content of this site offensive, why don't you simply pack-up your sock puppets and go elsewhere, instead of boring us with your unsolicited and inaccurate criticisms?
On a separate note , I read this morning that "poor" Ruth Madoff is looking for a new apartment now that the feds threw her out of her and Bernie's penthouse apartment but that some landlords don't want her in their buildings.
Rest assured , Ruthie, that Uncle Jerry will gladly rent you an apartment in STPCV as long as your check doesn't bounce
If Lux follows your moronic suggestion and "hangs it up," believe me, you'd have an angry lynch mob of thousands of LL fans who do love his brilliant writing and satire, including this latest post, on your doorstep.
But hopefully, Lux won't listen to such stupid "advice."

Seriously , are your that dim-witted? Why are you insulting Lux?
Well, when you consider who the cowardly puppet master is that's hiding behind the Totally Tished Off alias, irrational insults and verbal abuse is not at all surprising!
Jesus! What a couple of pigs those two are! Now we know what is bringing on the rats, roaches and assorted vermin.

Even my computer is grossed out hence the double comment!
Is there ANY fix to it at ALL? When you compare 'girl' versus 'giri', it made me wonder if it was possible to change the formatting of my name, and sure enough, I went from 'dryamaka' to 'DR yamaka' faster than how 'Chastity' went to 'Chaz.'
I guess my question is can you actually format your name to anything you want so long as you're logged in as your actual user account? That would answer a lot here. It seems that's not a very effective way, and allows a seemingly unlimited amount of abuse to happen, eh?
Answers?
Not sure why you care about an account that isn't yours but since you asked I deleted the person because they were impersonating an existing commenter for the sake of causing trouble.
Regardless of the display name, I can tell who is fucking around so if others tried that they'd get booted too.
He's too interested. He's the one who "solved" the mystery of "girl" and "giri," it was his IP address, and now he's trying to take the focus off himself by suggesting that the problem is with the site. I could be wrong but it looks like the only problem is him. Eh?
I LL
ok that was I HEART LL I guess it thought I was using HTML !
So boot the bitch and quit the wining?
There was no myster, Lois. The same thing has happened to many MANY times on Wiki where shared i.p.'s, etc. become an issue and I had to do the research myself to find out how the hell someone could have my name when in fact it was mixed characters.
AGREED!
again, riiiiiighttt .
right
Wiki THIS.
Note to AOL users: When registering your name with L's & I's, use every version of it you can with the upper and lower cases to avoid the situation girl found herself in. That kind of nonsense is common there, especially if you do message boards.
Personally I hate AOL but it has its persistent users.
Other ISP's may qualify but I wouldn't know.
That video is nauseating! I would hate to live downstairs (or upstairs) from that apartment. You can hear the heels clicking around on the uncarpeted floor and their duck-quack voices just bounce off the walls. If that's not sending a subtle message that noise is acceptable if you move into ST, then I don't know what is. I like the kitchen though. My kitchen is circa 1947.
Ziggy, I know that woman deserves to live in Hell and this would be quite appropriate for her, but don't you think we have enough problems here!
'Sokay if we go back on topic? Is anyone else just a little bent out of shape that the effort, the hard work, that we put into keeping our apartments and making them homes is being trivialized and kicked to the gutter by the fact that T/S and this idiotic radio station, Z100, are treating an apartment in Stuyvesant Town as a trinket to be handed out to an accidental tenant in a random contest?
Well, it may not bother anyone else, but I pay too much of my monthly income in rent to find this even the least bit amusing. We all know that T/S doesn't give a fig about the tenants, or the negative publicity they keep generating for themselves, but I would have thought that a radio station would have been a little more in tune with what makes for good community relations and what does not. Apparently I was wrong.
I would rather not have to spend the time doing this, but I intend to start writing letters to the businesses that advertise on Z100 and ask them to withdraw their business from the station while this travesty continues. I hope that one or two of the literary mavens here might do so as well.
Talking about problems - you know who I saw feeding the squirrels last week in PCV? - Bernie Goetz! I see him occasionally in the complex and one of my neighbors said he lives in ST
I have seen him here many times- he doesn't live here but he LOVES squirrels and that's why he's here often.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjF5ccIrP8Q
All things considered, we may want someone like Mr. Goetz around here, provided his aim has improved.
What they are also doing by this is adding insult to injury to the thousands of people who were on the waiting list to get an RS apartment here.
You are absolutely right; I hadn't considered that, but it really does trivialize the efforts of those who signed up on the list, and then put up with perhaps deplorable conditions elsewhere until they got to the top of the list.
It also trivializes the sacrifices of the original tenants - the WWII vets who originally qualified for an apartment on account of their sacrifice during that war, an apartment that can now be had just for being the lucky clown in a radio contest circus.
From yesterday's NYT article "With Senate Astir, Governor Will Delay Same-Sex Marriage Bill":
"Mr. Espada said that he expected the Senate to take up the mayoral control measure next week, and that bills intended to bolster rent control laws were likely to be shelved, at least for now. Mr. Espada and other top Democrats have forged close ties to the real estate industry."

Girl
I saw that too. Thanks for posting. We need to show vup en masse at the next TA meeting, which will likely be in September and express our displeasure to Tom Duane ,who for all his joking, never gets anything done for us on RS.
Thanks for the article, GreenGirl. This is very, very depressing and disheartening. They are so sleazy and conniving up in Albany. I just hope and pray that the judges who will decide the Roberts case haven't been bought and corrupted by the real estate lobby the same way the Senate so-called Democrats have. I have zero faith in the democratic process (and the Democrat party) in New York City and State, especially since Bloomberg was able to buy the election, overturn term limits and will probably be buying himself a third term.
I definitely won't be voting for Tom Duane. He is a useless, one-trick pony.
This is an excerpt from an email I received from the TA a couple of days ago:
Watch J-51 Arguments LIVE on the Web
The New York State Court of Appeals will hear arguments on the J-51 "Roberts" ruling on Thursday, September 10th. The court convenes at 2:00pm. You'll recall that the State Appellate Court ruled in March that Tishman Speyer - and MetLife before it - improperly deregulated some 4,400 Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village apartments while receiving more than $24 million in tax abatements under J-51, a City program intended to encourage landlords to improve their properties.
The Court of Appeals recently announced that all oral arguments will be available for watching and listening live on the Internet. To watch the action as it happens on September 10th, go to www.nycourts.gov/ctapps/. ; That's the site of the Court's home page and there's a convenient button to click to connect to the arguments.
The landlord was given permission by the Appellate Court to appeal the case to the state's highest court. If the ruling is upheld by the Court of Appeals, it will be a landmark victory not only for residents of our community but for market rate tenants in other rental apartments whose owners have accepted J-51 benefits.
Landlord organizations have mounted a well-funded effort to reverse the ruling. If it stands, Tishman Speyer must restore the affected apartments to rent-stabilized status and reimburse current and past market rate tenants who have been paying rent overcharges. If the Court rules for the Defendant, not just Tishman Speyer and MetLife but landlords throughout the city will dance in the streets.
Beuhla - thanks for posting about watching J51 online. We no longer live in ST and would have no idea this was going to be available.
Where is Liz Krueger in all of this? I remember voting for her a few years ago, but never seem to hear about her now. Up until recently I never paid much attention to Who's Who in the political realm - I just knee-jerk voted for whoever was the Dem!
First the TA and now Tom Duane. Before ziggy/Beulah get started on yet another campaign to tarnish the rep of another ally doing work on our behalf, please allow me to note that Tom Duane has been a long-time tenant advocate and has counted Michael McKee (a name everyone here should be familiar with) as a friend and ally for more than 30 years.
If you two want to take potshots, how about aiming at those Dems who sacrificed tenants back in Feb when they gave Espada charge of the Housing Committee in exchange for getting Malcolm Smith installed as Majority Leader? And what do you think it cost Sampson and the Dems to get Espada back in the fold last week? Here's a clue, besides getting named Majority Leader, Espada and his top advisor Stanley Schlein (a high-powered real-estate-industry lawyer and lobbyist) can now be sure that vacancy decontrol repeal is dead, at least for the time being.
Just hold on a minute, Mr. Know-it-All. First off, I am NOT taking potshots at the TA and never have done and I don't see where Ziggy was taking potshots at it on this thread. I am a paid-up member of the TA and admire what they have done and continue to do. I'm not a big fan of Tom Duane and that is my perogative and before you go barging in accusing Ziggy and me of tarnishing anybody's rep, just stop and read what was said first. You have such a high and mighty attitude and just love to get on that soap box of yours. Have a nice day.

Sorry for posting twice--didn't see that it went through the first time.
Re: Tom Duane working on our behalf. I have been to just about every TA meeting and rally for quite a while, and Duane always shows up to remind us of his glorious past fighting for tenants rights and promising to lead us in various activities. To date, what has he organized? Has he led us in any sort of action to show our solidarity against TS and the rent laws? The answer is no. He's a big bag of wind, as far as I'm concerned. Did we see any leadership from him on this issue in the State Senate? I don't think so.
I, too, have been wondering what happened to Liz Krueger. She impressed me as a thoughtful, intelligent person who could be counted on to support the issues that are important to us. I still can't figure out how a nonentity like Malcolm Smith managed to get into a position of "leadership" when there must be more capable people around.
I googled Liz Krueger and she still is in the Senate and claims to be a tenants' rights advocate. She does seem to keep a low profile though! I have a feeling that the old guy who she replaced (Roy Goodman) would have been showing a bit more alacrity that she has so far.
Green Girl
That is precisely my point. Tom Duane is a nice guy who is great at cheerleading but short on results ,at least with respect to RS.
Roundly- I have been at the vast majority of TA meetings for the past 15-20 years and I have witnessed many politicians pandering for our votes in that time. The only 3 who actually did good work are Steve Sanders, Eva Moskowitz and Dan Garodnick , with the jury still out on Brian Kavanagh.
Need I remind everyone that for several days at the beginning of the Senate saga, Tom Duane disappeared and was , by a number of accounts, seriously considering joining the coup over the issue of gay marriage.
I understand the importance of that issue to him but he is an elected official who should put the interests of his constituents first, and he did not.
Green Girl
Exactly my point. I have attended most TA meetings for many years and many politicians have spoken there, some of them numerous times. The only ones who truly did something are Steve Sanders , Eva Moskowitz and Dan Garodnick, with the jury still out on Brian Kavanaugh.
RR- An ally is not someone who just cheerleads at meetings.For years we have heard Tom Duane lament the lack of a Dem majority in the Senate. Finally the Dems gain a majority and the Reps stage a coup with Estrada .What is our State Senator's initial reaction? he disappears for a number of days , with numeroous reports that he is seriously considering joining the coup beacuse of their promise to vote on gay marriage.
While I understand the personal importance of that issue to Tom, he is an elected official who , in his role as such, should be primarily concerned about his constituents.
RR-if gay marriage is a top priority for you then Tom has shown he is your man. But ,for me (and I believe the vast majority of RS tenants) reinvigorating RS is a far more important issue. We need a representstive in the State Senate who agrees with that and "walks the walk not just talks the talk". To date, Tom has been just the latter and the recent incident regarding the coup indicates to me that the issue of RS is simply not quite that important to him. And that is not good enough!
sorry .i thought i deleted the first comment
That's the feeling I have about Senator Duane. All talk but no action -- unless it is his pet project. But, I'd still like to know what happened to Senator Kruger. Is she in a different State or part of the State or what? She seems to be MIA.
Of course I meant Krueger, not Kruger. One shot of moonshine at Beulette's trailer in Beautiful Upscale PCV and I'm out of it!
We were redistricted out of Liz Krueger's district a few years ago and added to Tom Duane's. Liz Krueger is still in the State Senate.
I wasn't disagreeing with you, just adding my voice.
Thanks for the info, GreenGirl. Even if she's in a different district now, I'd still like to hear a bit of voice from Ms. Krueger concerning the saga in Albany and the shelved (probably for ever) legislation that affect us rent stabilized tenants throughout New York.

Green girl
I know you were agreeing with me. I didn't intend to write anything that meant something different.
The link is posted above, why re-post?
I noticed this in the rules: "The Apartment does not include utilities. All utilities and utility set up are the sole responsibility of the winner." How can this be?
Who the hell proofed these contest rules? It's littered with stuff that looks like it was written by either a first year law student or a lawyer who isn't familiar with contract law. 'Rent free' = 'rent-free', and I'm pretty sure I interpreted one part as saying the 'winner' was responsible for paying taxes on the net value of the 'prize' of $37,000, which is a big fat lie (I think if I had to pay taxes on what I already paid in rent for this place I would shoot myself).
Go go Gadget- get a better legal team.
When you win something, you owe taxes on the value of the prize. That's not an error in the rules.
ziggy- What do you mean, Duane's "a nice guy who is great at cheerleading but short on results, at least with respect to RS." What do you base that on? For most our lifetimes the convenient legislative arrangement in NY State was for Dems in the Assembly to pass every sort of pro-tenant legislation under the sun, secure in the knowledge that their efforts would die a certain death in the majority GOP Senate. All that changed only this past February when Dems gained their two-seat majority. Most of the term was taken up with, per usual, passing the budget. Nevertheless in that short period of time Dems were able to kill the odious Rockefeller drug laws, fund new addiction treatments, and finally start hearings on the The Forest City Ratner Atlantic Yards' deal. Next up was a campaign finance reform bill to cut max campaign donations from $56,000 to $7,500, gun legislation, and rent reform legislation that included repeal of vacancy decontrol. During this term, Tom Duane was working with Michael McKee's tenant group Real Rent Reform putting together a bill that would have completely overhauled the Bloomberg's rubber stamp Rent Guidelines Board. Among other things, the bill required that all mayoral appointments had to be first be approved by the City Council, that the makeup of the board would give tenants more equal representation, and which would have lowered the rent increase on vacated apartments from 20% to 5%.
All these efforts were killed by a successful effort to purchase the defection of Democrats Pedro Espada and Hiram Montserrate, engineered by Tom Golisano and powerful business lobbies. People are REALLY angry at Albany over this, and rightly so, and now there's a strong current of "throw the bums out." Fools act out wildly when they're mad, smart people pick their targets more carefully. Tom Duane isn't one of the "bums." The bums on the Dem side are easily targeted: the Gang of Four Dems who threatened to caucus with the GOP back in Feb if they didn't get their way: Carl Kruger, Ruben Diaz, Sr, Pedro Espada, and Hiram Monserrate. There are additional Democrats that were being targeted by tenants groups for going suddenly soft on rent reform back in May after receiving big donations from real estate lobbyists, but Duane isn't among that group, either.
Beulah- I'm not a know-it-all, just a guy who likes to do a little research before I go shooting my mouth off. For a person who, and I quote you, "never paid much attention to Who's Who in the political realm - I just knee-jerk voted for whoever was the Dem," you talk a lot of shit about Tom Duane, evidently based only on nothing more than "the feeling" you have about him.
No, I fully understood it...but that would be in total violation of law forbidding taxing rent on apartments, unless mortgaging it, but you can't buy PCV-ST units!
RR
I like Tom personally, but I think he showed his priorities when he disappeared for several days.
You may think he isan effective legislator- on the issue of RR I believe he is not. I will grant you that I doubt he is one of the Dems taking landlord money but politics is the art of the deal and RR has been a huge unresolved issue for more than adecade because of Bruno. I believe RS should have been one of the first issues addressed by the Dem -controlled State Senate , not suffled aside to be dealt with "next term".
If true RS reform occurs prior to the 2010 campaign then I will vote for Tom, If not I will look for an alternative. As far as I am concerned, after the budget this isthe most important issue before the State Legislature
I'm not gonna get into another thingy with you, ziggy. This is the last I'm gonna write about Duane on this thread.
You don't like Tom Duane, but give no concrete reasons for it in your rambling comments other than that he went missing for a few days after the coup. Guess what? The minute Espada and Montserrate bolted, rent reform was dead for this term, per the plan by Golisano and the real estate lobby. There was nothing Tom Duane or anyone else could do to resurrect it.
Now we're back to where we were in May, only it's much worse: the Democrats' new post-coup arrangement with anti-tenant Espada as Majority Leader means that Pedro and his 3 buddies have an even tighter stranglehold on the Democrats and rent reform than before. All Espada has to do now is to threaten to bolt again if he sees legislation introduced that fellow Dems may want but that he and his lobbyist friends don't. So you're dreaming if you think rent issues will be addressed any time this term. (NOTE: a number of Senate Dems (mostly from Manhattan) oppose this arrangement, instead preferring a power sharing arrangement with the GOP that would leave Espada out in the cold.)
But back to Duane's going missing. What many people didn't realize at the time of the coup (including me) was that a lot of very angry people were mistakenly blaming Duane for the coup, thinking the Espada/Montserrate defections were over his same-sex marriage legislation. I suspect that had a lot to do with his going underground. We now know - as the Village Voice, NY Times, and New York Magazine have all reported - that the reason for the coup was not same sex marriage, but pending rent reform legislation (and on a very related note, campaign finance reform).
Here's a scenario I was wondering about... 2011 rolls around.
Rent stabilization is up for renewal. These clowns in Albany
delay and stall and do the same garbage they're doing now.
The date for renewal comes and goes. Is rent stabilization
in essence then over?
Yes.
What makes you think that could happen?
Aren't there laws to protect such a thing?
The rent stabilization law in NY has a sunset provision. Currently that means that unless extended by both houses of the State Legislature and signed by the Governor, RS will end in 2011 (I believe in June). That is the leverage Bruno and Pataki used over the last decade to significantly weaken RS. They offered the Dems a choice, a weaker law or no law.
At onee time the City Council controlled NYC RS but Lindsay ceded control to the state in the 1970s.
I don't think that would happen, I know that would happen.
Rent regulations in NY State sunset, meaning that they are enacted for an agreed upon time, after which time they expire unless they are renewed by the state Assembly, the state Senate, and finally signed into law again by the governor...before the expiration date.
The renewal process is always a huge battle, the real estate lobby lavishes money on key politicians. If rent laws were allowed to expire, EVERYONE who is currently rent stabilized would be affected, including seniors.
I remember all too well when the RS laws were about to expire before. I think it was 1997, but can't be sure. We were all on tenterhooks while the pols dragged it out - I think Sheldon Silver made us wait an extra day because of the Jewish sabbath, which I'm not saying he shouldn't have. I also remember that at least one elderly person in either White Plans or Yonkers committed suicide because the stress level was so high when it looked as though the laws were going to expire. Only God knows how many people suffered heart attacks brought on by the stress. We'll just pack up and leave New York if the RS laws expire, but some folks won't be able to do that.
For the life of me I can't figure out why Lux would be winding down this site..
That awful creature, Espada, is being interviewed by Dominic Carter right now on NY1.
I can't comment on the rs because I'm not rs, although I realize the profound impact on the community and our city.
One thing I cannot stand is this absolute piece of sh*t Espada and his friend Montserrate. Who votes for these people? Do they stand a chance at re-election? Will this be an issue in their campaign for re-election, which could toss it to their Repub contender and screw housing altogether? Does anyone else think it was a sneaky move for Espada to squirm his way back to the left once he realized he had no chance? What a drama queen- he just loves the attention he gets from this crazy mess I bet.
And Monserrate- that guy has it coming for him once he's finally indicted (if ever soon). I feel like such a second-class citizen next to these guys. They make mobsters look like saints.
Ummmmmmm... so he can have a life and/or a career?? Just guessing.
So given the sunset clause and the situation in Albany,
what hope is there that the laws WON'T sunset in 2001.
Is there any hope?!?!
Sorry, I meant 2011, not 2001!
Espada started his career as a tenants rights activist, and first ran for office as a champion of the people/advocate on issues of poverty and healthcare. Now he steals from his constituents and then gives some of it back in the form of badly needed healthcare in an underserved community via his network of non profit medical centers. (Espada's medical centers are under investigation by AG Andrew Cuomo after employees were arrested for steeling $$$ from the center to finance Espada's campaign).
He is not a part of the Bronx Dem machine. He gets elected by moving around to different districts where the incumbents are weak. He always has $$$ to spend, but nobody knows where that $$$ comes from because he refuses to file campaign-finance disclosure as required by law. High powered real estate industry lawyer/lobbyist Stanley Schlein and Steven Pigeon, Tom Golisano's aide and coup mastermind, have both recently become Espada’s top advisers. That's probably a pretty big clue as to where his campaign $$$ is coming from these days.
He'll tell his constituents that he did what he did in June to reform Albany and because Latinos are under-represented in leadership positions. If you're interested in seeing rent regs renewed in 2011, you might want to consider volunteer or donating $$$ to one of the Tenants Groups that will be targeting Espada for defeat in 2010...
Yes there's hope. Beulah brought up 1996. That took a HUGE battle to get rent regs renewed after GOP State Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno publicly promised members of the real estate lobby that he would end them that year once and for all.
Three terms of George Pataki dealt a bad blow to all tenants and thanks to vacancy decontrol, the numbers of rent stabilized tenant voters are smaller today than they were in 1996. But rent regs can still be renewed, though it will be critical for everybody to join the effort. It would also be helpful to have a Dem in the governor's mansion and a stronger Dem majority in the State Senate.
"Espada ... gives some of it back in the form of badly needed healthcare in an underserved community via his network of non profit medical centers." This is a standard technique for winning "hearts and minds." It's the sort of thing done by various groups elsewhere--provide a social service that the regular government should provide but doesn't, and people will become dependent on you and regard you as the lesser of two evils, even though you're not acting in their interest or the larger interest in any other way.
Sarcasm is difficult to convey on the internets ;)
Beulah, that's disgusting. I'd never heard of that upstate senior who suicided- sent a shiver up my spine to think of what possibly could have been going on in that poor person's mind regarding their rent that suicide was the only option.
We should pull some $$$ together and start an anti-Espada campaign once he's (surely) up for re-election!
There were spates of suicides in Los Angeles, Boston and San Francisco as well for the same reason. Not everyone can afford to own a home and when rental property is seized upon and tenants gouged by greedy landlords/developers it creates a situation of hopelessness. People who complain about creeping socialism in this country should take a step back and look at what is causing it. Uncontrolled avarice does not equal healthy capitalism IMO.
Why do you need to be sarcastic? What's the point?
Shut up. I wasn't talking to you.
Beulah
It istime to sic the dogs on Loath
Nah. I'd only have to have them de-wormed.
So sorry we weren't amusing you with all the boring politics and rent comments -- should we get back to talking about Bernie Goetz's love of squirrels and giving people shit about re-posting?
But in the meantime, "Shut up. I wasn't talking to you,"...that is too brilliant, practically Dorothy Parker-esque! Thanks for keeping the place all scintillating Algonquin Room and shit.
Oh, she already did! Beulah's sock puppet dogs
Loathemyspace's "shut the fuck up" comment to the meddlesome, control freak Beulass was the absolutely perfect response....concise and to-the-point.
Bravo!
I've come to the conclusion that girl and loathe are trolls who are determined to destroy this site. What they have againse LuxLiving, I do not know. I just know that they are poisonous, vindictive troublemakers who need to get lives. Maybe they're jealous of Luxie's success because they each have a lame, inconsequencial blog about nothing. One writes about a murderer on death row, the other writes and uses an ugly dol (probably a reflection of herself) and entertains herself taking stupid photographs - even of her own ugly size 14 feet. They have NOTHING to offer except their Heathers-like immature trolling.

Bravo!
Meddlesome control freak? That's not my impression. But the way you two continuously ride her borders on meddlesome control-freakiness, IMO. The website is a stalk-y weird touch, too.
"One writes about a murderer on death row, the other writes and uses an ugly dol (probably a reflection of herself) and entertains herself taking stupid photographs"
That's really, really, weak. If it wasn't for unconventional creativity you'd have no place to fight with people all day long. Snap.
I'm not interested in fighting with people all day long, but I am sick of being attacked by these two individuals who go out of their way to be nasty. I didn't start this war of words and I think you know that.
Beulah....you really shouldn't hold yourself up as such a shining example of decent online behavior. Below are just a handful out of hundreds of your nasty, inappropriate comments:
"You're sick. Really sick."
"Go to hell."
"Now if I said something like that, I'd have the Bobsey Twins on my case!"
"Common human decency'" is not something girl is into."
"Like watching kids on a seesaw - up pops Frick then up pops Frack! LOL!"
"BTW, "swearing off vag" and "Tampon Hut" is some juvenile, weak-ass shit. Yeah, LL, it's probably for the better you're hanging it up."
"Have to agree with you there. That sounds like something the [real] girl would write."
"Asshole."
"I see the sockpuppets have been busy."
"Naw, I'd only have to have them de-wormed."
"Just hold on a minute, Mr. Know-It-All."
"You love to get all high and mighty on that soap box of yours."
Wow. For once I agree with Beulah. She didn't start this one. And it's your site and you can do whatever you want, but you just swung and missed.
Actually i think you would have to give the dogs rabies shots.
Not all of those quotes are attributable to me. For instance, I never made any comment about "Tampon Hut" or the [real] girl. The other remarks, yes. But let's take it all in context and see the vile things you have said to me over the course of the threads - things that have prompted my responses quoted above. I don't have the time or the patience to go back and dig them up, but you know they are there. Stuff about taking phsychotrophic meds, getting laid, scum-encrusted, rottweiler, are a few little endearments that come to mind. Quite frankly, I think that compared to your crude prose, I'm quite civil!
Thank you, Lux! Apparently, Beulah can't tell the difference between art/reality and satire/reality.
Beulah writes:
"...the other writes and uses an ugly doll (probably a reflection of herself) and entertains herself taking stupid photographs"
Lux.....I seriously think you should ban Beulah for the above comment.
Girl and Loathe have nothing against me, my site, or any perceived success I may have. To childishly mock their side projects, which has had nothing to do with any of the back and forth banter, is lame especially since they are both quite accomplished in the "real" world.
I participate on many online forums and if I don't like what someone says about me, I ignore them, and it stops.
I can see why I only stop by once a week now....
I'm not following this ridiculous thread. All three of them have antagonized each other at various point in time.
But then I'd be a Nazi and that talk doesn't go over well...
Of course she started it. Loathemyspace explained to peaches that her comment was ironic, and Beulah butted-in with:
"Why do you need to be sarcastic? What's the point?"
She was deliberately being provocative and stirring the shit. As usual.
Girl, I don't get you sometimes. You agree with me sometimes, then lambast the hell out of me later, and the same with Beulah, Ziggy, etc.
Is it just a general disagreement with views of the individuals or disagreements with the individual comments by each commentor?
And if you reply, can you pleeeeeeease just give a straight answer without the use of a bad word? :( I'm being serious- I'm not getting into the soapbox, impassioned speech here, just looking for a straight answer.
I agree with you about the ongoing antagonism.
"Beulah replied to comment from Loathemyspace | July 14, 2009 11:41 AM | Reply
Why do you need to be sarcastic? What's the point?"
Actually she did instigate her nemesis this time. It was obvious what Loathe meant.
I actually thought that Loathe was being positive, for once, when she said she couldn't understand why LL was winding down the site because she said it when there was a serious discussing going on about rent stabilization. When she made the remark to Peaches about being sarcastic, I was quite surprised. BTW, anything I say to Roundly Roger (Mr. Know-it-All, etc.) he's quite capable of dealing with himself and needs no assistance from the sidelines! Right, RR?
I read it a little differently, girl. Loathemyspace's response to peaches made it clear that she was dissing somebody's comments when she said "For the life of me I can't figure out why Lux would be winding down this site.." It came right after Beulah's "1997" comment, so Beulah probably figured it was directed at her. Beulah responded by asking why she had to be sarcastic. I have no dog in this fight and I thought Loathemyspace's comment back was ridiculously over the top. And now I'm outta here.
It was an honest question. I hadn't realized she was being sarcastic until she made it clear that she was.
Sorry, I don't mean to step on your toes, but I only shot my mouth off initially because I read Loathemyspace's comment the exact same way you did.
Now I really am outta here...
Oh, please. She made an innocuous observation about all the political discussion going on. I think you're the one being over-the-top with your reaction, but it's understandable since you were the one doing the most of the political bantering.
No, I didn't figure it was directed at me. I made the silly mistake of thinking that Loathe was being nice for once in expressing the sentiment that she wished Lux wouldn't close the site down. However, I have better things to do and have to go to work. Come to think of it, last time I said that there were off-the-wall remarks about Nurse Rached and the airport. Totally inapplicable, nonsensical and although I'm sure they were intended to be insulting, they missed the mark because they were pointless.
All I remember is you bizarrely calling me a "poop head" simply because you misunderstood my post about the laundry room, when I was agreeing with your point the entire time.
Can't we all just get along?
Ugh, again with the comment from yesteryear. I asked you about a current item of note, and you bring up something from ages ago. I was trying to extract an honest answer you know?
Beulah writes: "I made the silly mistake of thinking that Loathe was being nice for once.."
Being cruel is so much a part of your character, that you just can't seem to stop.
girl, you seem to be able to dish out insults with great vitriol and the intention to maim, but you are so thin-skinned yourself. If "poop head" is the worst thing you've ever been called, then you are certainly getting off lightly. When I told you to "go to hell" it was in response to your "Zeig Heil" remember. Don't dish it out if you can't take it. Grow up.
I'd rather ask YOU why you felt the need to impersonate me on this board? Seems like I'm the one who should be asking the questions.
Actually, my comment was in response to something incredibly sadistic that YOU posted. And quite appropriate!
Is it so bad that there was a political discussion going on? Is this site exclusively for satire?
Impersonate? Ughghghghg, will it ever end? And if 'poop head' is all your 'virgin' ears can handle, take a hike. I get called worse on a daily basis by a boss or client.
And ps- you have still failed to answer my original question:
'Girl, I don't get you sometimes. You agree with me sometimes, then lambast the hell out of me later, and the same with Beulah, Ziggy, etc.
Is it just a general disagreement with views of the individuals or disagreements with the individual comments by each commentor?

I said something sadistic? I seem to remember we were talking about the thug who had been stalking and assaulting and robbing elderly people. I said he would experience surprise and pain if he mistook me for a victim. He would because I have a black belt in karate (among other things) so he would be very surprised at rather small woman flipping him on his ass and it would hurt! I think someone who assaults and robs the elderly and frail is sadistic, not someone who can stand up to such a person and stop them in their tracks.
Beulah writes: "I made the silly mistake of thinking that Loathe was being nice for once.."
Being cruel is so much a part of your character, that you just can't seem to stop.
OMG, talk about a disconnect!
Yeah, impersonated. You were busted, dude. And for that reason, you're in no position to interrogate me.
On another note: new boss as of yesterday, sat with her today. She, too, lives in Stuy Dorm and is in the process of re-negotiating her lease (it's up at the end of this month).
Funny thing: she talks with the Leasing Office and they're only willing to lower her rent by $300 from the $3500 she pays on her one-bedroom in the Oval. So effectively, she'll be paying $3200 for her 1br, when they're currently going for $2400 or so. So what she pays for now and has for the last year + is only being matched by what was offered by ST just 6-8 months ago and is a far cry from what is offered to brand new residents today.
WTF?
Get over it, get over yourself- no one impersonated anyone. Damn me for being just so insightful. Nice way to change the topic.
(again, failed to answer my question).
Someone did impersonate her and that person then antagonized another user on the site.
May I ask which, if any of you (Lux excepted) truly feels they are bringing anything relevant to the party?
The fake girl's IP was linked to you. Nobody else here. Why'd you do it?
Answer YOUR question?!? You have a lot of nerve interrogating me after what you did to me here. Even if your nonsensical "question" made an inkling of sense, which it doesn't, I don't waste time with liars and what you referred to yourself as in another post....a "JD." That sure fits.
Some people pronounce "liars" and "lawyers" exactly the same way. Eh, doc?
Girl: I thought Lux banned the imposter; no? I'm confused.
And Yamaka, did perchance you mean yalmuke?
Actually my post about "not understanding why Lux was winding down the site" wasn't directed at anyone in particular. My point was that the ensuing conversation about Tom Duane had actually nothing to do with the intial post.
And not surprisingly, Beulah has to make it personal "the other writes and uses an ugly dol (probably a reflection of herself) and entertains herself taking stupid photographs - even of her own ugly size 14 feet."
I've actually never taken pictures of my feet (which are size 9) so I have no idea WTF you are referring to.
Fortunately Girl and I will continue to have a relationship with Lux long after this site has run it's course, while the posters above will go back to sitting in their apartment steaming about everything wrong about PCVST , and doing nothing to improve it.
My guess is that if I met you Beulah, your karate skills would go right out the window with your newly shitted pants. To quote Go Ask Alice , you are a major league
cyber cunt.
yalmuke?
typo sorry
When Lux said he was stepping down I teased him with the funeral wreath avatar. I was looking forward to which avatar I would pull out next.
Please tell me they'll be a 'next' Luxie baby pumpkin sweetheart honey bunny to the stars.
Pretty please.
And just to be clear, I've never had a problem using the 'reply to comment from' tab on this site, and I wouldn't suddenly stop now. I didn't realize Beulahs' comment was directly above my post, and my comment wasn't directed at her. If it was, I would have clicked the "reply to" tab.
I try (see above)...evidently there are more important issues to banter about.
You call that interrogation? Yikes. What's funny is that last week I noticed a period when you were siding with Beulah (and it was only because she agreed with something you initially said), then you bi-polared yourself over to the offense again. Gee, it seems like you're only nice when people agree with what you say, you dictator.
I asked for a simple, respectable answer, and you FAILED MISERABLY at providing the appropriate answer. Let me guess: 'you're not the boss of me I don't have to answer if I don't want to...wah wah wah!'
You act like such a spoiled, childish, whiney little child. You bitch and moan when people either disagree with your views or downright don't care, then raise hell to further yourself as you try even harder to get people to see things the way as you. Well- tough. Too bad, so sad. Just cry about it.
You are absolutely no better than the bimbo girls who terrorize the hallways of these buildings- the very ones we want to get rid of.
I'm not sure what you mean. Sorry! :(
..and the very girls who laugh at you when you try to talk to them.
Exactly. Obviously, they're not such "bimbos" after all!
Lux shut down the imposter girl's account, and as Lux posted here, the IP was linked to Dryamaka.
I prefer people of the male persuasion- wouldn't matter to me if she/they looked or not, silly! :)
Lux already said he shut it down (pay attention). And stop antagonizing and patronizing to make it seem like people agree with anything you say...ever....ever....ever.
Hey, troll, I was responding to yetai's question:
"Girl: I thought Lux banned the imposter; no? I'm confused."
Ok, have your bottle and go to sleep now.
Awwww......poor upset little imposter boy! Too stupid to have figured out that the IP would be immediately traced back to you! Snap!
ok
Here's an item from today's NY Observer titled "Joseph Strasburg, Landlords' Super in Albany: http://www.observer.com/2009/real-estate/joseph-strasburg
OMG, this guy is scarey. He kinda looks a bit like Rush Limbaugh. Wouldn't be surprised if he is working with the Emperor Bloomberg.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the New York Observer is owned by the Speyer family.
It is owned by Jared Kushner , member of a wealthy real estate family which owns 666 Fifth Ave. His girlfriend is Ivanka Trump.His father went to jail. There is a big article about him in NY Magazine this week
Well, I was half right - it's owned by a bunch of crooks. ;-) I think the Speyers or the Tishmans once owned 666 Fifth because it used to be called the Tishman Building (used to go to a nice bar "Top of the Sixes" up there many, many moons ago - in my youth). I think it's quite aptly numbered 666 because it's owned by devils!
Interesting he said he didn't think there'd
be an elimination of stabilization in 2011.
Wonder if he's lying on that front.
