Wow Denton – that’s remarkable. Not sure what else to say without sounding weird – but hearing stories like yours, no matter when they took place definitely makes me feel a little bad for complaining sometimes!

“I agree with you. As someone who dropped out of HS school due to screwed up family circumstances, and left home, yet made it pretty far in life, I realize that things are much harder today. The first circumstance is the absence of shelter. Back in the day there were ‘welfare hotels’ all over that a person could get a leg up in.”
you know… it’s all of you old school gentrifiers who back in the day made all of those DISAPPEAR! so now those places arent available for people who want to live in nyc and not pay thousands of dollars in rent. evil, EVIL people you were back in the 70s and 80s, and in some cases 90s.
Guiliani may be a pitbull but I don’t think he has real track record on ‘good government’. He is definite partisan I doubt interested in limiting power of politicos.
Does have same personality even though different political outlook as Spitzer – egocentrics.
denton, I was scared I might somehow have my computer crashed if I said anything above 50, I would go for higher, say 70.

Yes, please, take more so that lazy, non working, welfare trash sucking at the teat of the government can get even more of something for nothing.
Bite the hand that feeds you too. When rich business owner’s taxes go up they are typically smart about that and find ways to cut costs so that they can retain more. Firing workers is a really easy way of cutting costs.
People really need to learn some economics before they spout this shit off.
“Back in the day there were ‘welfare hotels’ all over that a person could get a leg up in”
Not sure what “day” you’re referring to, Denton, but in 1986, I briefly lived in what was then almost entirely a welfare hotel, the Roger Williams on Madison in the 30s, which I believe is now a luxury boutique hotel.
I think you got it Cargar!

“I briefly lived in ” — another term for shacking up or 1 night stand?
