Seriously, RCN gets most improved award; TWC is only worthwhile for the 1 or 2 years of introductory pricing, afterwards it goes through the roof!

It's Management's job to enforce the rules. And every one of us should speak up when we see someone abusing the property. If the person is from the outside, tell them they're not welcome here. <br /><br />Today's example: I see a young guy let his dog pee on the walkway. I tell him that that's not acceptable and he has to curb his dog. He tells me it's a puppy, and he's training it (he gave it a treat after it peed!).

They cheerfully amble along letting the male fidos pull them to mark every other tree and trash basket until fido finally takes a crap on the sidewalk. Then they scoop it & go home. The female fidos can stop at any moment and just pee in the middle of the sidewalk. Yes, the owners don't care about sanitation but they so much don't care, their minds are a million miles away from even being remotely aware someone might think all the peeing & defecation disgusting.<br /><br />I used the link: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dsny/html/contact/requests_canine.shtml<br />and filed a complaint.

I agree sadly. This morning I walked past the "crescent garden" and was struck by how uninspired the landscape is now. It has the look- and-feel of a Lowe's Garden Center plant nursery ... Random bushes and shrubs clumped and deposited in no particular design concept with zero impact. Add to it the charming one-cut-above black chicken wire fencing and you get a suburban box store garden nursery center.
