  1. “Freedom does not equate to being physically and mentally able to make a living and be a success in NYC (or anywhere for that matter). All are welcome to give it a shot, however.”

    So basically if you’re out of shape or dumb, hit the road? You’re a judgmental ass.

    And I don’t disagree with everything you say – I totally agree that mopar was being a twit in the Texas thread. Also, Franny’s is my favorite restaurant in BK.

  2. ‘DH, for sure. NY is a tough place who are broke and trying to establish themselves. When I was a teenage runaway, it was fairly easy, what with all the welfare hotels around. You could get a room for a few bucks, save a few more, and then get an apt. I’m not sure if I could do what I did back then, today. ”

    yeah – that’s my point.

    i’m not complaining – i’m fine personally

    it just pisses me off when people get so sanctimonious about how awesome NYC is, then just dismiss the fact that kids graduating college now are worse off than 10 years ago as far as cost of living / salaries.

  3. “Where can I find information on rent stabalized tenants living in buildings that are converting to coops or condos?

    ishtar, depends on whether an eviction (unusual) or non-eviction plan. Under the latter, you have a right to stay put, continue under rent regulation, and continue to receive all the same services that you did before.
