Let me be the first.... Stuy Town

Are people excited about this?

Jan. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Donald Trump may buy Manhattan’s
Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village, the 80-acre apartment
complex relinquished this week by owners Tishman Speyer
Properties LP and BlackRock Inc., the New York Post reported.

"Double standard in mortgage walkaway"

"Tishman Speyer Properties walks away from 11,232 Manhattan apartments because it can't pay its mortgage. That's good business.

Rick Gilson, a college custodial supervisor in South Dakota, wants to walk away from the mortgage on his mobile home. If he does, he'll be a deadbeat."

It may be upside logic, but the surge in strategic default mays may be a good thing and force the lenders to use better criteria for underwriting(i.e more conservative ltv rates, full doc and do quality appraisals).

the horse has already left the barn.

If trump wins my gold long position is gonna pay off!! Can you imagine the amount of gold needed to gild 80 acres?!

casino in the oval, fuck yes!!

might as well get trump in here and get the bankruptcy over and done with.

Hey, did you ever get your windfall lawsuit money? We know that rents have gone up on everyone else as a result: http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/33965-stuytown-lawsuit-costs-higher-rents-for-others https://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/35173-compass-rock-decides-to-raise-rents-midlease

Not yet! And you are wrong! Only about 1000 apartments with prior market-rate rents went up (and you think those should be market rate without any rent-regulation benefits, right?) and the vast majority of those are still below where they would have been without the lawsuit. But keep spewing lies, because that's what you do and you've admitted you didn't have the mental capacity to understand the situation on another thread.

I provided a link, right above. No lies. 1000 apartments paying more just while you are sitting home in Williamsburg waiting for that free money at the expense of either the NYS taxpayer or the working and middle class that the development was intended to support.

Where's your link about my mental capacity from the other thread?

Stuy Town tenants fume over bikini beauties sunbathing in children’s playground

Bikini-babe shock in Stuy Town kid parks

EXCLUSIVE

This kiddie park is being taken over by a bunch of boobs.

Co-eds and sunbathing beauties are baring teeny bikinis in Stuy Town’s playgrounds — pushing out children and outraging soccer moms.

Locals began heating up last weekend when the play zone near 20th Street Loop looked more like the Playboy Club.

SEE: TOTS VS. TEENY BIKINIS

“A lot of side boob on the playground this weekend,” one resident quipped on The Stuyvesant Town Report blog.

The site’s anonymous author griped: “This playground should NOT be used for sunbathing. We’ve heard that complaints were made, and now it’s time for management to . . . show some balls.”

“Think of the children!”

One soccer mom called it “a weird place” to sunbathe.

“There’s too many kids in here,” said Janine Cranmer, 46. “Sunbathe at your own risk.”

On Friday afternoon, two dozen scantily clad women soaked up rays as kids played in the shaded corners.

And last weekend, security guards booted tanners from the lawn after a kids-soccer league complained.

“A body’s a body, and they need to get over themselves,” said Katie Friedman, 23, a Hofstra grad who moved to the development in August.

She does yoga in the space, called Playground 10, an artificial lawn without equipment.

“I pay just as much rent as they do,” Friedman said. “Just because I don’t have a child doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be able to be here.”

NYU student Melissa DeBlasio (pictured), 21, watched as a guard told beauties laying out on benches outside the playground to sit up.

“This is so ridiculous,” DeBlasio said. “The sun’s out. It’s summer. People are going to be tanning.”

Kaya Gieniusz, 21, called the bikini crackdown “silly.”

“There’s just a lot of rules here, and they enforce them randomly,” said the Marymount Manhattan College student. “We pay outrageous money to live here. Let us sunbathe for a few hours.”

Still, one baby sitter told The Post the sun worshippers are making kids uncomfortable.

“The older girls I watch are a little embarrassed, and then the teenage boys come here. It’s awkward,” she said. “This is the difference between students and people who’ve been here a long time. For them, it’s more like a dorm.”

Tenants have been annoyed with management for seeking out a younger crowd for its buildings, where a one-bedroom rents for up to $3,555.

The private development also has a contract with NYU that has brought in more than 100 grad students.

Some tenants predict the tumult will subside once Stuy Town’s Oval Lawn opens in the coming weeks.

But Susan Steinberg, head of the tenants association, said all two-pieces should be banned.

“This used to be a very strait-laced community,” she said. “The sunbathing is tasteless, it’s not very classy, and it doesn’t belong in a mixed residential development.”

Why is Communiss football being played on the STPCV lawns? That never would have happened before decontrol, or even ten years ago, I can assure you. The whole community is toining ... toid woild.

The obvious solution is eminent domain on the cheap, and the construction of new NYCHA housing projects on all the unbuilt parts of STPCV. Every square inch.

HB, find the link yourself. You are good at remembering what you feel like remembering.

Just keep ignoring the truth. It's easy and you are so good at it.

The "playground" that they are talking about is a field, used for soccer, etc. People sunbathe on the lawns of Central Park.

AR, don't be mad.
