Wow.
I had to read this, just to see how air conditioner placement is racist. Let’s review why:
1. The air conditioners make a buzz noise. (As a former Ithaca resident, I will attest that it will only make the buzz noise in July and August.)
2. Apparently, the buzz noise is making porch sitting uncomfortable. Whereas the noise from the school busses every morning and the cars passing by on the busy intersecting streets are ok.
3. The buzz noise is disrespectful to trees (which do not have ears).
4. Someone is making a complaint (the article doesn’t specify if any formal complaints were made or if the resident is simply whinning to a third-rate newspaper). The complainer claims that rich people (in Cayuga Heights??) get better resolution of complaints because they are rich and white.
5. Therefore the air conditioner placement is racist.
I see.
These people are mentally ill.

Air conditioning in Ithaca, New York? What the hell is going on? Talk about a waste of money. Open a window; turn on a fan.
Simple ... Turn the AC ... OFF!! and Send all complaints to Mr. Moss’s home.
Damn I wish I could move... but ... NY’s Taxes already have me at the point ...
“NY ...Can’t afford to Live Here, Can’t afford to LEAVE!!!”
ummm, there's NO SCHOOL in Cayuga Heights...Oh, I thought perhaps they were only air conditioning the white students, and leaving the minorities to swelter in their sweatshop classrooms.
