Calling on “Miss Information,” is she living at Rob’s house?

*rob*
tyber i believe that is only on friday closing bells that we see zee flea mumbo jumbo.
I thought “Closing Bells” were supposed to be dedicated to variations on the theme of the Brooklyn Flea?
(Sorry – just feeling snarky)
“”affordable housing” options the city offers, and there are always quite a few, definitely join your communituy board because they get a 50 percent preferential pick”
WTF? Can you back up that ass-backward statement?
Being a CB member, I have NEVER heard of such hogwash.

ah really? i could have sworn… hold on let me go look, i have a clipping for one at my desk. brb..
wow you’re right guys! i guess i should read more closely!
“current and elilgible residents of manhattan community board 10 will receive preference for 50 percent of the units.”
*rob*
rob, all residents of a community district receive the preference, not just the 50 members of the community board.
*rob*,
I think that preference must be for RESIDENTS of the CB area rather than CB members.
FWIW I briefly filled an interim position on my local CB and didn’t apply for a full term because I became disenchanted with it, BUT I never heard of that kind of malfeasance.
