Aw, there's a NY Times real estate "The Hunt" feature about Curbed editor Joey Arak's, his girlfriend's and their dog's transition to Stuyvesant Town. After deciding to pay more to stay in the East Village, they opted for a market rate apartment in Stuy Town at $2,850/month (steep, but a tenement nearby was charging $2,600). Even though he's read many horror stories about the complex, Arak said, "I love living here...I never thought I would have a dishwasher in my whole life.”

This is the problem with people in New York... our real estate standards are very low. Why on earth did you think you would never have a dishwasher?
Because NYC is where the upper middle class aspire to live as well as truck drivers in Florida or Arizona.
At Stuyvesant Town & Peter Cooper Village, the key problem for deregulated tenants, as I've heard it, comes at lease renewal time. One couple I met had their rent upped from $2,600 to $4,800 in two years.
What a fucking retard. Two years from now, he'll be yanking out that dishwasher amid a nasty rent dispute.
Oh, it's not a disaster? Feel free to browse our photos.
