  1. anyone interested in investigating this “housing asset renewal program” with me? base-case hypothesis: the city is using tax money to supplement the selling prices of condos, bailing out their developer friends and sourcing cheap luxury apartments for their supporters, all in the name of affordable housing and blight prevention.

  2. no lechecal, i think youre lying out of your ass. the M could NOT have been packed to the gills at 915, unless everyone is a last minute betty rushing to work or something. it was EMPTY. i.e. NO one at 9:02 exactly, i looked at the clock!!! you also claim the R is always packed and it’s always empty!

    seriously, avacado green and mustard. that shi+ is coming back again and all the people with their hideous granite countertops and stainless steal appliances are gonna look like a bunch of bell bottoms at a rap concert.

  4. had a freddy krueger freak-out on the M train this morning. im sitting there reading and look up and im the ONLY person in the subway car, then look in the next car over and it’s completely empty as well! and that was at 9am! sometimes i take the M train if it arrives but normally take the R because i prefer the bucket seats and the vintage orange color. Sometimes like on days like today i wish my commute was 10x longer, it’s the only place i get any reading done and i like people watching on the train, tho today there were no people thus the freddy krueger did i just wake up in a nightmare situation i had this morning! i guess everyone is gone for the weekend already? is everyone getting out early today? anyone have good plans? im cleaning out my closets. im a super neat freak and keep everything clean but my closets are always a mess and my drawers are even messier so i think im going to clean both this weekend and try to have a stoop sale tho im sure no one will even be around to buy anything.
