Incident..I thought you spotted a cop....
If you don't want people from approaching you blindsided, just lay your favourite axe on the seat and I guarantee, he'll just move on to the next vehicle.

maybe she saved money all those years and bought the new place CASH so her payments would only be maintence and taxes. Also a lot of rent control aprtments are disgusting as the landlords will do nothing to repair the building unless they are forced to.

Thanks for the response. That shaftway is understandable...
I just need to find the actual specifics in the zoning, to see what is and isn't grandfathered... Depending on if, way back when, these windows were put in legally (with permits) or illegally may determine quite a bit.... Anyone else (including icechute) any more ideas?

Ladies and gentlemen, the main reason I can't be bothered to post on this site anymore is precisely THIS thread. It reads like the insecurity of 14 year olds on a high school blog that aren't confident enough to just be at peace with themselves and the people around them. THAT'S WHAT'S FUN ABOUT BEING GROWN UP! "Hipsters", don't DEFEND yourself. It will GO NOWHERE with people out there willing to create a thread about putting down people. THAT 'OLE US VS. THEM. Fear mongering. They are insecure with themselves. Let's focus on the election and intelligent things! Whee!

Although you may be legally allowed to cover his window, I think it may be most polite (and nice for you as well), to build a shaft way in the space where his window now exists. This will give you both some light in that area.

So then, she moved from a large 2 bedroom rent controlled apartment in Brooklyn which was costing her $700 presumably with heat included to a SMALLER 2 bedroom in Jersey City "joggable" to Journal Square. For the demotion in size and probably in quality of neighborhood she gets to pay almost 3 times as much per month...$1860 per month (assuming a 30 year fixed mortgage at 6% for the entire amount.)
Add in closing costs, higher insurance costs on the property instead of just contents, possible cost of HEATING and hot water (not mentioned in the article geared to generate interest in Jersey City real estate.) And her transportation costs will rise too...nothing beats a NYC monthly unlimited Metrocard...and anyone on Harrison Avenue will quickly tire of getting back and forth to Journal Square on foot 10 or 12 times a week so that's a crowded slow bus AND the PATH to work and back. The reason for the move, perhaps her building will go co-op and perhaps the co-oping will be under an eviction plan, are both highly unlikely. This sounds like another JOE THE PLUMBER story to me. (In reality, people with rent-controlled 2 bedroom apartments hang onto them longer and harder than their TEETH and landlords almost NEVER get a non-eviction plan approved...certainly not when most of the tenants are paying miniscule rents.) So again, this is just more Real-Estate-Speak, a language unto itself. And have you WALKED on Harrison Avenue lately? It's a block north of Cummunipaw.

I think the funniest part of this story was when you attmepted to tell the attendent at the drive thru what occured. Did you actually think it would have done any good. They (the WINDOW) only know donuts and coffee, less responsibilities to be had.

I don't think I am above all this and that's precisely the point. No one is any better than anyone else around here (except maybe Yagger, because that was a good post!) I do think your attitude is a little immature, but that's because I am really old and have been around the block and learned long ago not to make massive blanket statements about people. I now see that you meant to be funny with the original post. So humor is just another thing we disagree on. Rock on, Brian_em. There are orphans starving in remote parts of the world who I have to go tend to now.

Nice defense Brian. "I know you are but what am I?" Thats a sure sign that besides immature, you are also not clever enough to come up with anything on your own.
He said "bro"! Hahahahahahahaha! You are right,. this thread is hilarious! Only problem, we are laughing AT your pathetic ass instead of with it. Keep up the good work. Quote:

In a bad economy or even a good economy, St. Lucy?s Shelter can always use extra food and things. Happens to be my shelter of choice. Although I?m tempted to hand-over a buck here and there to panhandlers, the unfortunate truth is that he probably is a junkie, and it will just go to a drugs that are killing him and the dealer who?s driving around the City in a Lexus probably living on our tax dollars. Next time you see him, tell him you just dropped off some lasagna at the Shelter.

Sssshhhhh!!!! If you don?t want to be called a Yuppie, stop letting-on that it bothers you so much! Same goes for Hipsters and stroller moms.
I happen to think you?re all a bunch of dorks?But, why so defensive? You?ve done a hell of job gentrifying downtown, so God Bless you and Thanks! I?ll see ya at the coffee shop!! And, something I just noticed as far as luxury buildings go, they seem to have a very short life. Like, the one?s that went up 10 years ago already look much older than their years?.Same for some McMansions out in the burbs. Obviously, this is the cheapness factor and was inevitable, but I just wonder where we?ll be in 25-30 years?. Think they?ll go from Luxury to low-income? Will we tear them all down and build again??? Will you guys still be here or will there be a new generation of dog-walking, coffee drinking, Artist-neighboring, neighborhood gentrifying, Che Guevara shirt-wearing, post-college liberals who love the word ?douche?? Come on, man....laugh at yourselves. p.s. And, if you could use your magic Hipster Dufus powers to get that Trader Joes approved, I?d really appreciate it..

Jmayla.
If I'm immature, you are just as guilty as I am. You think you are better than me because of the way I think. ANd that's fine. that's life. Not everyone is going to like or agree with me, and I' totally cool with that. But if you really were "above" all this, you wouldn't be trying to reprimand me so much. It's supposed to be a humorous thread on a website...Chill Out.

whole foods stock is getting battered right now so any plans to move in to JC is probably delayed until further notice.

Amy--the very same thing happened to me at that DD drive-through. The man approached my passenger door and reached as if to open it. I sped out of the line and drove back around, to see him walking away toward town. I did not feel bad--in fact I was pissed off that my space was invaded and that I was afraid. He did not have a cup or a sign--the hallmarks of panhandlers--so to me, he was looking for something else. But he looked a little out of it anyway. I told the attendant in the DD window, but I don't think she knew what the hell I was saying.
