The rentals , and that what they are in most cases , multi family rental apartments , owned and rented by others that don't live there , are occupied by people who don't even know how to put out the trash properly .<BR/> NYC just looks at it as more tax income .<BR/> The rentals look at it as a place to litter , disregard stop signs , and steel bikes from a neighbor 2 houses away ( proven ).<BR/> The original residents look at it as a degradation of the neighborhood , loss of parking , and security risk .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991126101914346398.post-51475985721900035782007-11-23T12:08:00.000-05:002007-11-23T12:08:00.000-05:00Do What You Want In America?What is most troubling...Do What You Want In America?<BR/><BR/>What is most troubling to me is the disrespect for neighbors and community.

I fondly remember playing with friends in the street(baseball, football etc). I was there for the 4th and can count the few kids seen.

There are good things here. There are untold stories and pictures that aren't shared. That's why we created this blog.<BR/><BR/>Some have different views on McMansions.
