The Dead Forests of Stuyvesant Town



Folks who live in the Stuyvesant Town Oval addresses at the north-eastern part of the Oval have the pleasure of several dead forests surrounding them. Few things say how much Rob Speyer has devastated Stuyvesant Town than the dead trees that have been around for months and which show no signs of life.

Picture above is one of the dead trees. Below is one area, as you head up the hill from the 20 Street Loop.



Here you work your way down, near the loop off of 1st Avenue:



And below is Stuy Town 15 Oval. This looked nice in late summer of last year, when newly put in, but as you can see the once vibrantly green plantings are expiring. All these photos were taken this morning, April 20th.

Rob Speyer killed the trees and plants and the comfort, security and spirit of what was a wonderful community. His actions can't be defended and the damage he caused can't be fixed. He's greedy, ignorant, destructive and ugly.

Sad, sad, sad. Those of us who have lived here for many years can't believe the acres of mud, dead trees and general mess this management has made of our once well cared for community.

You ain't seen nuthin' yet!

Given the enormous negative cash-flow torrent, I don't think the landlord can even afford the bags of seed, let alone the hired hands to plant them.

Wait 'til the summer breezes start kicking up swirling clouds of dust across the Oval.

Brown is the new Green!

Rob Speyer is like a big dose of Agent Orange.

And those are just his good points!
