And, if you are down, you will need a good drink! Stuy Town offers their "Deal of the Month," which is, you guessed it, a discount on drinks at the local bar!
Don't you think serving alcohol at our Five Stuy Cafe is not far behind?

Come On, You Need a Stiff Drink and Stuy Town is Here to Help
This month's rent comes with the Stuy Town usual, heavy and glossy brochure on why it's great living here. Of course, you will be invited to join the new Stuy Fitness at 14h Street and take part in a raffle for a year membership. I assume that if you win, the membership is free, but you have to sign up first (and pay?) before you enter this raffle. Another money-making scheme idea brought to you by your friends at Blackstone.
And, if you are down, you will need a good drink! Stuy Town offers their "Deal of the Month," which is, you guessed it, a discount on drinks at the local bar!

I hate those stupid glossy brochures. Now they are addressing the move out dumping but of course it continues. When you allow it it will be abused by the low life demo who lives here.
Totally agree on the gym....a huge ripoff and horrible promotion to get "interest". Did they really need a 2nd gym? much better use of that space if they had asked the community.
BUT. What's wrong with the deal of the month being for a local bar? These promotions go out to ALL of PC and ST; some people use it, some don't. I wasn't complaining when the deal of the month for a few months was pet care (I don't own a pet). Just saw it and threw it out. I do agree that glossy, expensive leaflet is dumb and unnecessary. Give us the split of paper and and envelope; probably save $30k/year on the production and mailing costs.
Not sure how I feel about beer/wine at the cafe. Everyone brings it onto the lawn anyway, why not make it more convenient and embrace it. A lot of us work during the day and its nice to grab a drink while outside our home vs. paying high prices at bars, etc. But I do worry about the college kids getting smashed at the cafe and annoying people. hmmm.
A stiff drink is needed indeed. Brookfield bailed out Kushner. The same Brookfield that the TA is in business with. Kushner is the nastiest East Village harassing slumlord according to city news. Can't wait for the day the TA is exposed.

Where? I have this month's brochure in hand and I don't see this.
Okay, we know all about "amenities," but are they suppose to be free? Are they simply the perks of living here and should be nothing else? We know about "for residents and their guests," (though current politicians seem to be unaware of this), but if something is for residents and legal if it is so, aren't these amenities for free? Otherwise, there is a charge, which is money-making and therefore profit-making. Is a building complex in the business of making extra profit from its tenants?

Here we see the same thing. Prices for apartments can be "preferential" but upon lease renewal time, the rents can go up. New residents can be displaced because of this.
From that article:
>>Many developers declined to discuss their practices on rental concessions for this article. One, Brookfield Properties, offered a statement on a two-month concession for a 14-month lease at the Eugene, a new rental in the Manhattan West megaproject. A representative notes that the concession “will be lifted at some point, especially given that leasing is ahead of schedule and how positively the market has responded to the building.”<<
Prices at that cafe are high. If they serve drinks there, they will likely be as high or higher than outside.
They just tell about free pickup and mention dump sites for”bulk items”
Here a thought why don't the owners stop spendng millions on cheap clown crap and reduce the rents of all of us.
<>
The "owners" of Stuyvesant and Peter Cooper Village spend millions as they do, and millions as they don't because of their objectives and desires.
THE FOLLOWING IS ONLY A BRIEF, REPRESENTATIVE LIST OF WHAT THE OBJECTIVES AND DESIRES OF BLACKSTONE AND THEIR SERVANTS ARE:
Destruction, suffering, misery, infighting among people living/passing through here; the creation of filth and unsanitary conditions; unrelenting noise; the murder of numerous trees, bushes, and other living beings; dangerous vehicles both of Blackstone's stock, and all others, motoring through our pathways; dog wastes strewn about; public drinking all over the grounds now; children urinating on trees, as well as college students urinating and defecating in building stairwells (luxury living), sex practiced in the stairwells with used condoms thrown about; the commodification of just about everything they can think of, along with running illegal commercial enterprises; the hiring of dozens, hundreds (thousands?) of workers who replace union and longstanding loyal workers here; who perform ludicrous and ultimately hurtful "jobs" such as managing "Living Styles," who are ORDERED AS "PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS" TO DO NOTHING TO PROMOTE PUBLIC SAFETY; who are "musicians" wailing shrieking and banging guitars to help breach our leases vis-à-vis quiet enjoyment. (The list of subcontractors, probably illegals, entertainment specialists, etc. is mind-boggling and appalling and depressing.)
As I began: the list goes on. The "chief" of Blackstone, Stephen Schwarzman, is a clinically verifiable psychopath, identified as such even by other less than humane denizens of his own world. Read this to get a taste of WHY Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village have become (a) hellholes; (b) slums; (c) shitholes; (d) all of the above, and more, and worse:

As is correctly stated: THE FISH STINKS (AS IT ROTS) FROM THE HEAD DOWN.
Those "in charge" here are well below the estimable Mr. Schwarzman and well on their own way toward moral putrefaction.
If I paid $2500 or more per month to live here I would need to be drunk to sign the check.
5 18 pm tell us old wise one, where would you live? do you work? do you have childreN? You know nothing.
1259 PM, there are better places to live even in New York. Also, New York isn't what it used to be. It's becoming as characterless as a stretch O'D Sunrise Highway. Just one chain store after another and nothing to breath but fumes. Deafening noise is even worse than Sunrose Highway in the rush hour.
Clearly I know more than you. I'm pretty sure rocks know more than you.

I was looking at a video of what San Fransisco has become, where the rich to not mix with the peasants. And that's what we are slowly getting here. It's more important to the politicians to talk about diversity in this city (this in a city that is one of the most "progressive" in this county) than to talk about the middle class and how the city is putting its big foot down on anyone who is not rich.
More than 3500 is the market rate for one bedrooms here. That is highway robbery. Families can do better elsewhere. That is why they can’t fill the apartments. 2500 is still not terrible for Manhattan but market rate is much higher here.
Battery park city is beautiful and you will pay less than here. Of course, you might not get weekly movies to make you feel better about wasting $3500 per month. LOL...dopes!!!
