finally, some good news. JDSX: whomever thinks 200K is only middle class in lifestyle in new york or anywhere is completely out of touch with society. the real poor and middle class in new york live on far less.

Columbia I can take or leave, but I'd love it if Atlantic Yards was sunk without a trace, at least in part to spite that arrogant a-hole, Ratner.

I love how it takes a blind guy to see the problems of eminent domain, overdevelopment, and friggin' ugly architecture.

If he derails at least one of the developments that used eminent domain to secure property, I will cream my pantaloons.

In NYC an income of $200k is middle class in lifestyle but will no doubt be considered rich when it comes to taxes.

It is. talk about a silver lining in this saga. I hope Gov. Paterson will blindside them into his agenda. Pow, right in the kisser.

Wow. The only thing worse than a crooked politician is a well-intentioned populist with a horrible policy agenda.

And by wealthy, that means just about everyone. Because earning $150,000 is just like earning $150,000,000.

After the tabloid show of this week, people are just now realizing how huge it is for Spitzer not to be in office. Spitzer could not sign off fast enough when it came to develpment and construction deals. You will see Paterson most likely steer attitudes back toward affordable housing and tenant rights.
