Rob, I sincerely wish you the best. Being a consumer is part of life, but it doesn’t have to be your life. Your comments come from a particular perspective and even though people get on your case sometimes, you make interesting points. No matter where you live, you will have to deal with the economics of living and NYC is an expensive, crazy place. But you don’t have to get crazy about it. If you get angry every time you meet a trendy person or notice some overpriced consumer item that is priced for its trendiness, you will lose your mind. Relax, Rob. Keep in mind the good things you get from your connection here. Don’t worry, be happy.

then sounds like reading or viewing too much ‘media’ and pop culture stuff. that is TV, TimeOut, and all that junk.

kens, yep hired your dude. All very odd. We don’ even have an elevator! Part of the problem is that we’re a big lot but the amount of residential space is only about 75%. Next step is an architect I guess.

rob, sometimes people use alcohol and nicotine as medication.

I’m fine with paying taxes though it should be equitable. I’m paying more than the 1 family across the street and that has 5 floors.

Going to make me a tea partier.
