NYC, 1950.

Strangely moving. Sometimes you need to step back and realize what New York is and was. And, for many of us, why we are here. And why we fight to stay here.

Thank you, STR! That is a delightful little film. I really enjoyed it.

Some city and state electeds are fighting the good fight in Albany even getting arrested yesterday. There are some things worth getting arrested over, like INJUSTICE.

Thanks STR there is a great humanity to this video that is contradicted with modern day battles in NYC. In the news today Alicia Glen is making financial arguments which may be sound; and show she is more suited for an accounting job not a head of housing job. There is no humanity in her arguments.

Get Goldman Sachs out of government already! It is bad enough Goldman Sachs runs Washington DC but for self proclaimed progressive DeBlasio to put Goldman Sachs in charge of housing shows his hypocrisy. He lost my vote for 2nd term when he appointed her.

I'm sure Indians could say the same thing.

I think the reason there has been large absence of protections by pols to PCVST Middle Class since 2007 is because they were afraid of maniacal Cuomo and his bff Langone that have made a mess of all 5 boroughs.

Looking forward to the AG and SDNY cleaning up Albany reaching the very top!

Anyone who wants to comment but is afraid the powerful and unlawful lobbyists and their political puppets are tracking ip addresses can group share on a computer so there is only 1 ip address and the rest can stay anonymous. The more voices we get to hear the better and the louder we are to stop the Cuomo REBNY massacre on NYC.

Ava said it best

Ava Farkas, executive director of the Metropolitan Council on Housing, called the rally a “load of nonsense.”

“While real estate-driven corruption scandals swirl … Cuomo sits on Albany’s biggest pile of real estate cash and holds a bogus rally in support of corrupt rent laws,” she said. “No wonder his job approval ratings are going down as fast as working families’ rents are going up.”

Cuomo thinks if he screws us over slowly we won't notice.
For tenants he is proposing raising the vacancy decontrol f4rom $2500 to $2700 as if that makes a difference. This guy is bad news.

Both the GOV CUOMO and the REBNY/DE BLASIO plans stink to high heaven. Is that the game, you know tenants are getting screwed so you put two stinky plans on the table and make tenants feel appreciative when the less stinky one is approved? YOU BOTH STINK
NO TO 421a
REPEAL VACANCY DECONTROL

$2500 to $2700 does not make any kind difference. Who the hell does he think he is kidding. Once a jerk-off, always a jerk-off.

Cuomo is a corrupt jackass, and an ugly one at that. De Blasio is no better. Both of them are in bed with the REBNY and Wall Street. Strange thing though: WE are the ones who are getting f**ked every which way!

Come on, we bought it fair and square. At least the Dutch did.

How in the world could whomever track IP?

Anonymous said...

I don't give a flying fuck if they have my IP address! They can go to hell!

Maybe NSA can track IP addresses here, but that's about it. I don't even have that ability. (If I do, I don't know about it.)

Awesome. Ditto.

Nobody is "afraid" of paid lobbyist trolls or corrupt politicians owned by REBNY. But why the constant recommendations readers should switch to Twitter, group share one computer, stop posting significant www links?

Are they attempting to disburse legitimate criticism supported with facts via www links, or make searching for and locating the truth more difficult, or just part of a general strategy to dilute STR impact?

What is the dishonest agenda there?
