I have to agree that the only reason why I don't just say f*&k my credit--I'm breaking the lease is because of the type of people that live here. He is so ignorant that he didnt' realize that by seeking tenants like us he would have to deal with people who take matters into their hands(he told me when I came to see the apt that he was looking for young and educated).
I knew this wasn't Williamsburg when I came to see the apt. nevertheless he seemed to be willing to compromise at the time and I never thought I'd have to deal with ghetto garbage like the one we're dealing with.
I was also lucky enough to read John/Jenny's note before he removed it. Thanks for keeping us aware of the stuff that's going on.
But I have a question about this notice--were you guys mugged that night? Or was it an observation you made of the lowlifes?

no, we were not mugged. we were 'asked for a cigarette'. just then a cab pulled around the corner, and then the young black gentlemen no longer felt that they needed a cigarette. if not for that cab, though, i am sure that we would have been. up until that point we thought that the muggings were more myth and p[aranoia than reality, but now we feel differently.

Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:49:34 08/29/02 Thu why would you think they were a myth or paranoia. the cops were there, Ezequiel saw one of the muggings himself and why would people make something like that up? Everyone seems to be thinking this isn't a big deal unless it happens to them personally.

well, until then, i had not heard much about it, except that people were scared. people could be scared for alot of reasons. remember that i dont spend very much time in the bldg, and dont see very many people in it very often. after it happened, then i started asking some people randomly, and then i got more of the story. i would still like to get more details.
