  1. “i dont understand this at all. queens is next at what? next at becoming unaffordable? i dont think the kinds of things worshipped by you know what make a neighborhood interesting, in fact it has the opposite effect. also pound for pound, queens is more expensive than brooklyn, but then again most people only think there are three neighborhoods in brooklyn. i truly hate nyc”

    you live in park slope

    you could move somewhere more “real” – pay less – and won’t have to be surrounded by the things you despise.

  2. “jackal, legion and I were discussing whether you might, perchance, encounter any untoward activity on the street on your way back to the office from lunch? If you saw something, say something.”

    Funny you should ask, slopefarm. After I left dibs and jb I went to Barnes & Noble to get a cup of coffee, and while I was there I had to use the men’s room, where I saw the most disturbing thing. Do you know what it was?

    rob- it’ against the law. Not that landlords follow those laws but keeping people out of an apartment because they don’t fit your ethnic taste is illegal.

    owners are allowed to discriminate based on anything they want if it’s a three family or less dwelling. i dont believe in discrimination tho, but i do people people have to right to saw who they want to move into their home and if they have a preference for their family and friends who are that ethnicity who cares. hello chinatown, no one gives a crap about that! hello hasidic areas of brooklyn! no one says anything about that.. big apt buildings tho run by management companies should definitely NOT discriminate however, that IS wrong. two and three family homes can do whatever they want.

  4. “Addendum to the minutes: Also discussed was floppy donkey dick, nymphomaniacs and gay bath houses.”

    Yes, thank you DIBS. This is why minutes are not filed until they are approved by the members.

  5. “If you saw something, say something.”

    Come to think of it,
    I did see a slutty looking NYTimes Weekend section
    hanging out in an unsavory part of town.
    It looked like it was getting into a WikiLeaks van.

  6. “DH – any bets as to which nabes in Queens will be the “next up and comer”?”

    well – ridgewood, as legion and i were discussing is already there thanks to the L train and bushwick.

    eastern astoria/sunnyside have always been the “next hot neighborhood”

    personally, i like jackson heights.

    queens is definitely next – brooklyn has reached critical mass as far as being way too expensive so that none of the people who make a neighborhood interesting can afford it anymore.

    i dont understand this at all. queens is next at what? next at becoming unaffordable? i dont think the kinds of things worshipped by you know what make a neighborhood interesting, in fact it has the opposite effect. also pound for pound, queens is more expensive than brooklyn, but then again most people only think there are three neighborhoods in brooklyn. i truly hate nyc
