yeah rob – funny quote:
An apartment for $1,700 on Bedford Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant was stunning. “I finally find this glorious apartment, freshly done, and it is in a terrible neighborhood,†she said. It was also next to a vacant lot.

First comment below the article about Governor’s Island:
“We are laying off teachers but we are instituting free ferries? I am glad to see we know our priorities.

Amen Leo. Or maybe we could use the money devoted to free ferries and save one or two of the services that are being shut down in Gowanus (i.e., day care centers etc that keep young children off the streets)?
I’ve never seen so many of our pols in one place. Fortunately, they all kept their ribbon-cutting speeches short, which was especially good given the heat. Marty Markowitz is hysterical.
