More complaints, I'm seeing a pattern here.

I say keep'em - keep all of'em. The vast majority of them are more hardworking than any punk ass pot smoking hip-hop listening teenager or young adult will be at the jobs they do.
As for fucking up the economy, if you wanna prevent THAT, then start deporting AMERICANS from New York City! Not just ANY Americans, I'm talking about the 10 million hipsters, "trust fund" kids, and other pasty-white ugly-ass over-educated wanna-be-cultured penis-faces who are swarming here every day from the midwest, California and everywhere in between. They're coming here to pay DOUBLE and TRIPLE the rent that the genuine native New Yorkers are paying and thus driving all of the genuine native (and thus, truly interesting) New Yorkers OUT!
How do we round them up? Here are a few suggestions:
1) Raid every Starbucks in the city;
2) Place an ad on Craigslist for a $3500 One-Bedroom apartment in the East Village and handcuff the skinny unshaven "expensive-but-looks-like
3) Listen very carefully for people speaking in an inquisitive tone - meaning simply, SAYING things in a tone that sounds like they are ASKING. Native NY'ers say, "I'm going to a party Saturday night." Penis-faced trust-fund brats say, "I'm going(?) to a party(?) Saturday night???"
I would love to know what their meaning of "Diversity" is too because I often hear them talking about how they love the diversity here but to me, since 2000 or even a little earlier, everyone I see in Manhattan is a carbon copy of the guy/girl next to him/her. Each one thinks he/she is so interesting though because he/she probably "backpacked around Europe or South America" - you know, "roughing it" (with their parent's money).
A good example of these dull morons is the "star" of that New York Times commercial. She's the one who says (or sings), "So-the-deal-issssssssss....."
Oh jeez, please deport them all back to their homestates, PLEASE!! What happened to the days back in the 80's and early 90's when nerds like these would get their asses handed to them on a platter for no other reason than being white??? As a white male native NY'er, I would much rather have those days back again!!
My brother is a police officer in Manhattan and he tells me that almost every call he goes on where he finds some type of madness going on, it will usually be some black guy or hispanic guy from the Bronx causing a scene and terrorizing hipsters, yuppies or other Newbie Yorker. He said he loves how each & every time, the Newbie Yorkers are cowering in corners or pretending not to see so they don't have to do anything to help - not a dumb idea since it could be dangerous - HOWEVER, he can always tell the Newbie Yorkers because they're the ones who - AFTER the police have corrected the situation and brought peace to the establishment or street corner - will crawl out from under their rocks and begin armchair coaching the police to each other. "Why does it take 8 cops to break up a fight???" "Why do they have that guy lying handcuffed on the floor???" "Why are all these cops here??? They needed all these cops for one guy??? Why? because he's black?" But meanwhile, before the cops got there, they did NOTHING on their own. Too dangerous and, oh, I guess they didn't know if the person had a gun or not. But the cops should just ASSUME that he didn't. They just like to act big in front of their hipsterettes.
You see them, they're the ones who smile at the group of black teens on the subway who are acting like animals in a jungle - you know, just to let them know that they're not racist. One day I got some satisfaction out of seeing a stupid hipster girl smile at a group of black girls who were having a conversation at ear piercing levels and disturbing the entire subway car. She was blonde, blue-eyed, and looked like she fell off the turnip truck from Arkansas but wanted to let them think that SHE too understood what the sistaz were laughing at. Well, one of the sistaz said to her, "What the hell you smilin at??? I know you??? I don't KNOW you! Whatchoo smilin at???" Man did her face change. I think I heard her say, "I'm really sorry??? I'm not like racist???" (She was saying it, not asking it)
I can go on & on & on about these imbeciles because the only entertainment they provide is the entertainment of making fun of them because they are the dullest, ugliest, most ignorant, people with such little life experience but hardcore degrees and think they know it all. Fuck them!!
Rich "wanna-be-poor-looking" skinny dorks. They're taking away our city and DESTROYING everything that made it what it . . . . USED TO be.
If you moved to NY after 1996, this means you! GO HOME!!! _________________________________________________________________________________

9th street bike lanes

So it is not enough that your snot nosed brat mobiles in navy blue of course, litter the street polluting and what not as you tote 'local' to yoga or someplace I could never imagine. It is not enough that you clutter the side streets as you unload godly amounts of bullshit, what could it be, you all order from Fresh Direct? It is not enough that you can't park and block all lanes of traffic so you can giggle as you bang the sidewalk and apologize to the people you frighten on the sidewalk…..No, you must also block, drive-in, stand, wait, cackle and cell phone banter in the freshly painted, totally off limits to you bike lanes. They are called bike lanes for a reason….and yes yuppie swine I will begin to key, spit on and kick your cars, like I do to the car service off of 5th avenue.
Why don't you ride a bike or walk too, it might help with the stick up your ass.
Living In the Shadows of Gentrification
I was born and raised in downtown Jersey City in a diverse working-class neighborhood. My family has been here for 5 generations. Around the late 1980’s many artists began moving in drawn to it's affordable housing and it's proximity to NYC. Shortly after, year after year the waterfront began to get raped by greedy billionaire developers. This cleared the way for the anxious yuppies, trust fund hipsters, and pompous post-grads jogging with their purebreds. Gentrification had begun. Saturated in pseudo-cultured smugness and highly susceptible to corporate hype and herd instinct, the soulless now swarm to the open houses, and townhouses they read about and think they discovered.
Although gentrification in and of itself is not a malign social development, the systematic displacement of existing low-income life long residents as a result of neighborhood gentrification is. Although one of the principal and values of urban development is to provide new housing for all kinds of people, with a wide range of incomes, the reality is that for the most part, new developed urban communities provide new housing for outsider upper-income households only. Although the city promotes the arts, most of the artists that were part of this community for many years have since been evicted from their lofts which have now been replaced by luxury loft spaces advertised as “artist live/work studios”, but offer no low-income options for the artists that were evicted. Housing projects will also be redeveloped and are usually moved further from the luxury residents and transportation hubs. We need to keep our new residents safe from the Blacks, right? Poser-vigilante imbeciles scan the neighborhood in their cars and racially profile who they feel may be a criminal lurking near their condo as they report to their new Guardian Angels friends. The city will become segregated between classes; there will be no middle ground. Who is considered good enough to live here now?
My family had never owned our home, but we always paid our bills and taxes, and we’ve always worked hard to improve our lives. Although we’ve had a great relationship with our landlord for many years, the security of what we considered our home is now being threatened. In many cases once a realtor or developer take over your home, they automatically raise your rent 25% and will only give you a month to leave or pay regardless of how long you have lived there with your family. Like vultures with checkbooks, trust fund kids come with their rich parents to scan over my family’s home while it’s on the market. Jersey City's new gentrification and over-developing is pushing low-income working populations, and affordable housing options out of the area. The people who have considered this neighborhood their home, and have lived here when things were bad, will be denied the right to live in this new city vision.

Living In the Shadows of Gentrification
continued...
As the downtown gentrifies and hideous luxury skyscrapers dwarf the peaceful downtown area, the city will become more economically and socially divided. Developers and politicians want this to be a neighborhood of upper-class residents, rich foreigners, trust fund kids, with trendy cafes and high-rents. Views of the Hudson are now obscured by visually unappealing condos. We are told it’s progress, a renaissance, sipping apple cosmos and organic lattes while giggling about your new $500,000 boxed studio. The same people who ignorantly called Jersey City dirty, a ghetto, dangerous, or simply put it down because it’s Jersey, are now flocking here on Sunday excursions to balloon open houses during this real estate feeding frenzy. Any diversity or character that these once affordable neighborhoods had is being killed off by these hip-yup douchebags.
The city has no problem finding space and money for new golf courses that only cater to elite millionaire members who were never even a part of this community. What is being lost in this greed-driven delirium is affordable housing options for the lifelong residents who are being evicted. The cranes loom high above as greed tells the herd where to flock, where to eat, and where to shit. Many lifelong residents in this community are now being shit on.
