A Dollar and a Dream
“Kit Schultz, for example, is 28 and just arrived from Columbus, Ohio. In some ways, her story could have been told anytime in the last 50 years, and in other ways, it’s very typical of right now. She lost her job as a nanny late last year and found her prospects were dim. Before Christmas,…
“Kit Schultz, for example, is 28 and just arrived from Columbus, Ohio. In some ways, her story could have been told anytime in the last 50 years, and in other ways, it’s very typical of right now. She lost her job as a nanny late last year and found her prospects were dim. Before Christmas, she went out for drinks with some old college friends who are living in Brooklyn, and they invited her to come out and stay with them. So she packed a van, headed east, and arrived in New York on New Year’s Eve. A new year, a new life, she thought. Now she says, I am having a great time here, but it’s also very hard. I’ve never been this poor in my life. I don’t exactly know what tomorrow’s stories will be or even how I will pay my cell-phone bill. But I am confident this city will continue to open up for me in ways that I cannot even imagine, and I look forward and forward.” — New York Magazine
The solution is simple every renter just start cutting back on the rent amount by 200-300 dollars. If homeowners don’t like it move to some place cheaper and rents will come down so you will not have to work your fanny off to pay some deadbeat homeowner. Bailout for renters!
Rob, sometimes you’re fine, but yeah, this is off your game. It makes me once again imagine you sitting in the room of your shared apartment, smoking too much pot and whining. In twenty years, successful or not, if you continue on this dark path you’ll just be whining again about losing your looks. Don’t do it.
New York can be anything you want it to be. Make the most of that, and don’t worry about what you don’t have.
Geez, also, kids today…
GET OFF MY LAWN. (I know it’s an imaginary one, but still.)
Actually if you had any CLUE what Smith’s was, The What, you’d know that a hipster has never set foot in that place.

Whatever the hell that means.
“I walked by at 9 am Saturday and people were drinking inside – it’s like, have some ambition you sh*theads. They’re reverse Asshats. the door swings both ways, my gentle generic.”

No fan of gay marriage either, but if my partner should have a heart attack and was in ICU I wouldn’t be able to visit him or hold his hand in most of USA.

“Eh East New York! Now do you understand what’s going on here?????? These are the same retards that walk down the street and smile in you face but write nasty things about people who was born and raised here! These retards are no better then the people they try to marginalized!!!!
The What”
Let’s not over-romanticize ALL natives; many of them are unwashed, smelly, backwards creeps who never bothered learn to use a computer or other modern things and now do nothing but stand outside dumps like Smith’s Tavern here in Park Slope, “keeping it real.” I walked by at 9 am Saturday and people were drinking inside – it’s like, have some ambition you sh*theads. They’re reverse Asshats. the door swings both ways, my gentle generic.
