It means instead the sort of disheveled person who sleeps on the E train and can be smelled from a long distance off.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/12/05/extra_extra_356.php#comment-778906 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/12/05/extra_extra_356.php#comment-778906 Comments Tue, 05 Dec 2006 18:56:10 -0500 <p>"Rich people" in Brownstone Brooklyn aren't paying their "fair share"? Should someone who bought their house for 25K decades back be forced to pay a mortgage's worth of monthly property tax? As it is it's damn near impossible to own a home anywhere half decent in this city. The solution should be to just drop taxes on apartment buildings, if you just want to be "fair," not raise them on homeowners. Why should this city have higher taxes than other cities? I know it leaves less to embezzle or blow on idiotic vote-farming projects around town, but that's the price the politicians should have to pay, but of course never will, because they have the sheep bleating for even higher taxes. Unreal.</p>
