i'm from the gov't and i'm here to help (less)

Only you would post a link when the frigging links don't work

Idiot

Have you talked to a therapist about your uncontrollable need to interject irrelevant bullshit where it doesn't belong?
There are hundreds of rant-filled political blogs, why fuck up Streeteasy?

Ditto on maly. This is streeteasy not politicseasy! Fk off soc sec Chking fool!

Is it boateasy?

One of the reasons I don't post here that much is because if I want to read about politics, then I will read a political blog, not a RE site. There is almost nothing on SE anymore about real estate.

Can't wait to see what they plan on cutting.

HAHAHAHA!

PS: Love the HTML.

absolutely affects RE..

looked at purchasing a building in Union City, NJ off boulevard east.. Property taxes out of whack..

teachers making over $100k, don't contribute a dime to their own health benefit plans, superintendent making 300k with benefits/pension/etc.. yet horrid school district YOY..

Unions/local govt looking for more money for their pensions = property taxes up = affects my RE excel spreadsheet

redbaiter--constant applier of pasties he's rearely read, let alone understood--don't make the mistake of reading his garbage and trying to understand his confused random loop

and, of course, by the time you've wasted the time trying to uderdtand his illogic, and then further wasted time explaining; he's already launched onto numerous other unread pasties

what's imcredible is that he hasn't moved onto posting on a site more appropriate for his roy cohn inspired blather--certainly there's a fox/beck/hannity site where readers would find this vomitus quite palatable

Awww, the liberals don't like the message, so they conclude that you shouldn't post it anymore.

No..it's not about what he posts, it's about it being endless and illogical and inappropriate--and his crap alone is not even vaguely matched by the sum of all commentary from other-than-right perspectives

so it's one moron flooding this real estate site with NeoMcCarthyist tripe, much of which he hasnt even read or understood

A WP article about Republicans looking to have significant fiscal discipline is NeoMcCarthyist tripe to you. This is why liberals can be scary.

can't you read?

its not one article or two articles.

its the endless barrage -- how many posts do you think riversider makes in the average week? how many of them are political gibberish saying the same thing over and over and over?

if someone wants to read the washington post, they should feel free to do so.

i often read the washington post--i dont want to read it and the mountains of garbage piled here, all as filtered by redbaiter

i want to read about NY Real Estate here.

LICC, if I want to read about "scary libs" and all that shit, I can very easily find hundreds of right-wing blogs. Streeteasy offers a pretty unique oportunity to discuss NYC real estate. That's all I want to read here. Is it too hard for you to understand?

Riversider titles his discussions pretty clearly. If you don't want to read it, don't click on it. Just read the ones you want. Why should the people who enjoy the posts not have them because you don't like them?

Is that too hard for you to understand?

"One of the reasons I don't post here that much is because if I want to read about politics, then I will read a political blog, not a RE site. There is almost nothing on SE anymore about real estate."

Did alpo, the guy who *only* posts unintelligent (and often unintelligible) political posts, really just post this?

LICC, your solution would work if by ignoring Riversider, it would make his threads disappear from view. His posts add nothing positive or relevant to real estate, and are just empty BS cluttering the discussions. I think the lack of focus or intelligence hurt streeteasy's reputation. How many people finds themselves clicking on a discussion on their first or second visits to this site, and get turned off by the juvenile and aggressive political banter? Between the constant trolling of the county/comm crazy and Riversider's mindless and endless cut&paste, it's not unusual for half the discussion threads to be completely irrelevant. This is a problem.

and LICC, you subscribe to redbaiter's politics and apparently you enjoy his neo-mccarthyist-filtered version of the world--I dont--and I dont like having to sift through it as i try to enjoy streeteasy

prez seems of recent to have tired of attempting to balance redbaiter's relentlessness--i'd just as soon they both cease, but didnt mind that prez sought to balance what will be a neomccarthyist blog with the occasionl insight on real estate

and i read, as you might imagine, much that reinforces my politics, away from streeteasy, and i dont see fit to apply pasties re that all the fuching day long

"Seriously, riversider get the fk off se. When's the last relevant nyc re post youve had? You and juliarge fk off." After you get off. You have vulgarized the web site.

Sounds just like barney and obama.
Hugo Chavez defends state takeovers of apartments
(AP) – 1 day ago
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Facing a wave of criticism from business leaders, President Hugo Chavez is defending his order for government officials to seize control of residential complexes.
Chavez promised Sunday to crack down on construction and real estate companies that he accused of unjustly boosting prices, which he labeled "housing fraud."
The president, a self-proclaimed revolutionary who idolizes Cuba's Fidel Castro and is currently on a visit to Havana, called his decision last week to order the expropriation of six residential complexes and "the temporary occupation" of eight gated communities in Caracas and other cities "an act of justice."
Venezuela's consumer protection agency and state prosecutors are investigating complaints that construction companies and real estate firms are illegally charging buyers high interest on unfinished apartments, even though the buyers settled on a price years ago and made down payments.
"We have decided to put an end to this type of organized crime," Chavez wrote in his weekly newspaper column.
Companies accused of violating consumer-protection regulations deny any wrongdoing.
Apartment owners affected by the measures have had mixed reactions.
Some don't like having soldiers posted near their homes or fear the measure could encourage pro-Chavez squatters to invade buildings still under construction. Others applaud the measure, saying it has protected them from unscrupulous business practices.
In some mostly middle-class residential complexes, groups of neighbors have implemented security measures aimed at keeping squatters out, such as organizing around-the-clock surveillance teams and putting a siren at entrances to be sounded in case of emergency.
Apartment owners from one of the expropriated complexes — El Encantado Humboldt — issued a statement over the weekend criticizing the state takeover and throwing their support behind the company responsible for building the gated community, saying it never stopped construction as government inspectors have alleged.
"We strongly reject the expropriation measure," the statement said. "We are content with the construction company's development of the project."
Critics of the expropriations and temporary state takeovers, including Chavez's political opponents and Venezuela's largest business chamber, warn the government's measures will scare off investors and aggravate the country's housing deficit.
More than 1 million of Venezuela's estimated 28 million inhabitants do not have adequate housing while millions more live in dangerous, laberinth-like slums ringing the South American nation's cities.
The government plans to invest $1.5 billion next year to build homes for poor and middle-class families, Chavez announced Sunday.
Opposition politician Julio Borges accused Chavez on Sunday of trampling private-property rights and steering Venezuela toward Cuba-style communism.
Borges told a news conference that Venezuelans don't want to live in "a country of slaves, where the government is the owner of everything and the people aren't owners of anything."
"We want a country of property owners," he said.
In a telephone interview with state television from Havana on Sunday, Chavez alleged that some construction and real estate firms are funding opposition groups. He did not provide details.

actually, julia, your descent into mental illnes is somewhat amusing--so hang around, if you'd like

someday.......maybe.......

Any criticism i receive from the likes of wbottom is a compliment.

when have you received anything other than criticism on this site?

maly, your problem only seems to be one with you and some other liberals. If streeteasy thought it was such a problem they would do something.

"when have you received anything other than criticism on this site?" You're the one hidden and grey wallowing in shame.

juliaaaaa...it's almost 4pm...meds time.....

no meds wbottom, it's against my religion...Atheism.

Licc, that's a rather breathtaking absence of logic. There are many solutions to this word problem:
1 Streeteasy is happy with Riversider, they love him and think political rants enhance their site
2 Streeteasy is tired of policing the discussions, which add little to the site's profitability
3 Streeteasy is annoyed with all the trolling and general stupidity, but generally tries to focus on revenue-enhancing activities
4 Most people have voted with their feet, which is why discussions are restricted to the same 10 posters.
