  1. My handwriting’s so bad that when I lived abroad my mother told me I only needed to write once a month – she could take the letter out every week & read a completely different message.

  2. snappy are there really that many luxury condos going to be turned into public or low incomce housing? i cant imagine. but it would be a weird social phenomeonon that if it does happen stainless steel and granite will become associated with low income living, much like parket floors has had low income stigma attached to it for years now. life is weird. personally i prefer plain white laminate (what are those things you keep dishes in? my brain isnt work right this morning and im blanking on what those are called… they above the sink and stove andstuff)

  3. Snappy, I’ll take a stab at answering your affordable housing question: it depends. I think each project will be individually negotiated with the respective lenders and developers, i.e., if a building was supposed to be condo but the bank is getting a decent enough return as rentals, no incentive to negotiate with city, but if the bank thinks they will need to foreclose, then they’ll talk. Seems possible that a bond issue could help finance any acquisitions.

  4. i dont want to cause permanent corneal damage snappy. just enough to lull me back into reality. i’ve had my eyes rubbed with a specific kind of small jalapeno pepper once and i fell to the floor screaming and crying and literally i was HOWLING i thought i was going to be blind for ever. one of the most traumatic events of my my 30s.
