While some of it is not so sturdy, it is not meant to be leaned on, but to allow the plants and grass to grow...that's the message that it connotes to those who are guests...they "get it". When the Oval grass area became an "open season" spot, it was one of the most "horrific" ideas because almost everyone used it as a "shortcut". Thank goodness the fence in place now around the Oval is up and monitored. Let's take that example into the grassy green acres around our buildings. Overall, the temporary fence idea (in some spots) should become permanent.

Most of us long-timers have resigned ourselves to the fact that the grounds will never be as they were and it is now a very noisy place to live and that we have to do our laundry offsite if we are to get it done properly. I do hear angry statements from people who expected to get a lot more quality of life for their money, though. They are the ones who say through clenched teeth: "Cant wait to get out of this dump."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-91016977132892442672012-04-27T11:15:40.649-04:002012-04-27T11:15:40.649-04:00I'll with you, too, Anon 2:38.

Why they don't comprehend that you can make money AND have happy tenants is beyond me. If you're going to rent to students, make sure they know that there are rules they have to live by and enforce them. If you're old enough to live in an apartment without parental supervision then you're old enough to learn how to behave yourselves and be a good neighbor. OTHERWISE GO LIVE IN ONE OF YOUR SCHOOL'S OFFICIAL DORMS and leave the rest of us here in peace.

Either the place goes condo and rids itself of the greedy incompetent management that allows the quality of life to deteriorate, or it gives itself up completely to the careless, clueless "new generation" those who scream, yell, curse, leave their dog waste and garbage everywhere, and have absolutely no respect for those that preceded them. One thing that does warm my heart is the knowledge that "karma's a bitch", and that those who enjoy their modern narcissism will be tormented by future generations (that they themselves raised).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-72635844220975417522012-04-27T08:03:21.034-04:002012-04-27T08:03:21.034-04:00>>It is much healthier to just move than to ...>>It is much healthier to just move than to remain somewhere you hate, consumed by bitterness on a daily basis.

There may be a few who are that miserable, but if they don't move, perhaps they can't because of age and/or finances. Many of the posters who comment here, or on the TA Facebook and previously on Lux's sites, are not "miserable." You mistake bitching about matters (that should be bitched about) for unenduring misery. As for the joy of those who are renting now (I assume you mean newer tenants paying market rate), are you serious? They seem to be more miserable than anyone else, particularly as they are getting stiffed in renewal leases and the lengthy wait for the resolution of the Roberts issue. As for the temporary students that are here, they don't care.Stuy Town Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538426011607971633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-34462387744172373692012-04-27T06:50:53.942-04:002012-04-27T06:50:53.942-04:002:38 i am with you.

Yeah, big business (big real estate) is killing the city for the middle class and we are seeing that happening here.

Even that recently those were glorious days. But the sea change has come (and gone) and this community will never reverse tack. Our lease is up in October and we're going to move out, and, oh, what a hard decision that was. But we're both in our mid-50s, ST "old-timers" to be sure, and life's too short to want to be bitter about a situation you're powerless to alter.<br /><br />I think there was a chance Lux's effort would make a difference, even if in drips and drabs, you know? Be part of the (admittedly) vocal minority asking schmucks like Tishman and Rose, "What the f*ck do you think you're doing to this institution?" and expecting a respectful, adult discourse. But PCV/ST isn't impervious to the machinations of big business, almost nothing is. The proof looks us in the face whenever we head out to Associated or the Oval. This is what PCV/ST is now.<br /><br />I thank God for the good years my hubby and I have enjoyed living here, but it's time to go, cheap rent or no.

Most of the folks here are great--I don't think I've met any of the people who are so insulting, calling people amoebas, etc., on this blog though.

And so do a lot of other tenants who live here. Good for you - and lucky you! - if you don't come across these kinds of people living here, although I would find that hard to believe. Just look at many of the dog owners who live here and how they let their animals go all over the lawns and the flowers, even while standing in front of a sign that asks them NOT to let their dogs do so. Unbelieveable, really.

Suing CW Capital and Rose Associates over the law that states that no more than 3 unrelated people may live in any apartment seems like a good idea right now. In fact, Mr Rose if you or any of your minions is reading this consider this your warning that the apartment above me is filled with unrelated renters (I have made you aware of this on several occasions yet you have done nothing about it) and I am seeking out an attorney to file a lawsuit against you and CW capital for allowing it to happen. I will see if the attorney thinks it should be a class action or if individual tenants should just sue you and CW. I heard about a tenants group starting up, if anyone has any info post it so we can get moving to get some tenants representation.
