>>And yep, trolls who cheer about the deaths of people in our community are vile.
It is no less vile than perma bulls who cheer for renters to get priced out of desirable neighborhoods in brooklyn and to be denied a chance to raise their family, all because they don’t receive TARP bonuses.

I think adding 10-15 IQ points to our kids would be something that pays off in the long run.

Maybe we could start with some of the posters here!!!!!
That NYT article on water quality was eye-opening. I can’t believe this is ignored by the EPA–it’s ridiculous. We are so lucky here that our supply is excellent (although the legacy of lead pipes is really holding us back).
Ugh, people wail and moan about a lack of “shovel ready” jobs, and it’s such nonsense. The fact that 20% of water coming our of the taps of the richest nation on earth are contaminated, maybe we can address that? How’s about a massive lead paint and lead pipe abatement project in NYC? I think adding 10-15 IQ points to our kids would be something that pays off in the long run.
And yep, trolls who cheer about the deaths of people in our community are vile.
Somehow I am not seeing the connection between TARP and the shooting on Monroe last night.
“See my opening comment in the OT.”
Look, the wall street-washington partnership ganged up to rape and pillage this country. Maybe the only way to build a better tomorrow is to first crash and burn. We can rise up from the ashes and re-build a more just society.

I want real estate prices to come down so ordinary working families who don’t get fat wall street bonuses can afford a decent life in a good school district. If it takes high crime rates to achieve it, so be it.
See my opening comment in the OT.
Let me put it this way…in a conversation where people are discussing the death of a 35 year old man the proper response is diametrically opposed to the one below (authored by you):
YES!!!!! Crime is on the rise in Bed stuy and the rest of brooklyn.
>>uh stevie? somehow don’t think you want to be rooting for more gun homicide…
