566 Hancock Street's Seen Better Days
This is a sad one.

This is a sad one. By last fall, the nine-unit building at 560 Hancock Street at Stuyvesant Avenue had been allowed to deteriorate to such a point that the Department of Buildings ordered that the building be vacated. Judging from a photo on Property Shark (which you can see on the jump), a handful of apartments were still occupied as recently as 2006, though the top floor appears gutted and windowless. What a shame—it’s a beautiful building. It looks like HPD has stepped in to put up the scaffolding but shouldn’t the landlord lose the building? This is a disgrace. GMAP P*Shark DOB
Wow. We’re into Jews vs. Palestinians, White Men vs. Native Americans. I’ll bet whoever built this building never dreamed that 100 years later, people would be trading such bitter invective over its deterioration.
Wasder: As the What’s press secrtary, let me answer that …
Have you ever seen a black skittle?! No. Why? Because the makers of skittles are racists.
Skittles are the candy of choice for racists who will go to any length to avoid anything black.
Why Skittles?
“Dear Fellow BRownstoners:
I know nothing about being proactive and taking a leading role in improving my life or the lives of others in my neighborhood of birth. In fact, I know nothing.
Although some of you see this as a sad event, this kind of destruction makes me feel better. You may not know this, but I was taught that the only way to make myself feel better is to try to bring others down. Self-empowerment and self-improvement are not part of my vocabulary. This should come as no surprise to you all since my vocabulary is very limited.
And please don’t expect me to answer your questions directly. That would require me think, formulate a response and – with my very limited vocabulary – attempt to respond. Such a process is simply beyond me.
In closing, I would like to warn you that I will continue to cut and paste irrelevant articles, find racism and class warfare where none exists and compalin about Brownstoner while reading and participating in all discussions on a regular basis.
Warmest regards,
The What
I complain, therefore I exist …….”
” it not those people who live there that have benefitted the most??? Their property values have gone up from a very, very low base. I’m sure they are all happy.”
So when the settlers invaded middle America that was the excuse the told the Indians! “We are here to make it “Better” for you??? ROTFLMMFAO!
When the Jews “took over” the West Bank and sent the Palistaines into Refugee camps the said the same thing!!!!! We are here to make it “BETTER” for you LMMFAOROTMFF!!!!
Oh man where is the “benefit”???
You guys crack me up and Dave you are finished… OH Man this is funny!!!
The What (Here have some Skittles, LMMFAO)
Someday this war is gonna end…

el nino…I like the phrase “Don’t engage the loons” especially since the What thinks its code.
No kidding, what. I can read and watch the news too. I am well aware of what’s going on. You deliberately misinterpreted my statement, but that’s ok, I expect nothing more. A few of your ideas aren’t even bad, although hardly original. I’ve been saying there should be a mandatory mortgage class for years, so I’m so glad you agree with me.
