“How we gonna vote for Barry now???”
The Pied-Pipers of Socialism being denied?
I hope so given the worsening job conditions if Obamao is reelected.

Landlords will make a killing voiding all the “rent control” deals of displaced residents. Expect property values around NYC to go through the (ahem) roof.
Pinging Captain Obvious.
Hopefully conditions improve for everyone there soon.
Oh come on!
All those homes that banks own, due to Obama and his RATs crashing the mortgage industry? I’m sure they’re just dying to unload a few hundred thousand houses real cheap.
Sandy shed a whole new light on the term “underwater mortgage” dinnit?
We lost power for a week a few years ago after a storm. We are always prepared. Thank god it was in September while it was still warm, not November.
The article was correct in that no amount of blankets will warm a child when it’s 30 degrees.
How about a little compassion Freeper friends,,, this hit ALL the residents, not just the ones we disagree with politically.
Many years ago I got snowed in, in a house that had no fireplace or woodstove. It was awful. I want to say I was without power for six months—that’s what it felt like!—but it was really just six days. I was not able to leave and hike out through the woods for reasons of health. At that point I swore that I would never again live in a house without a fireplace and/or a woodstove. As soon as I could, I made that true. Never never never never.
Maybe one silver living that will come out of this is that the know-it-all progressive northerners will learn a little humility towards the southerners they so often mock as dumb. Now they are finding out that we southerners know how to take care of community better than they do, because we rely on OURSELVES AND WE COOPERATE WITH EACH OTHER BETTER THAN THEY DO!!
Guess knowing which Chablis goes with which cheese doesn’t matter a whole hell of a lot now does it?
I’m no prepper but even I know how to stay warm in a power failure. Catalytic propane heaters are cheap, Coleman propane lanterns throw off quite a bit of heat, and if all else fails a few candles in a small room will keep you alive.
“”There’s really no amount of blankets that can stop you from being cold in 30-degree weather,”
30 degrees? Above zero? Sheltered from the wind?
Are you kidding me?!!!
The blessed configuration of DNA that resulted in the overwhelming success of the human species seems to have weakened considerably. The entire inbred sub-species inhabiting the Northeastern cities must be on the cusp of winning some sort of collective Darwin Award. It needs culling.
Can they not physically tolerate a few days of low-intensity “roughing it” that would pale compared to lots of camping I’ve done? Do they not know that people, even recently, have survived incredible rigors like the Battle of the Bulge and Stalingrad. Do they really not know that human mothers long ago figured out (without handwringing) how to warm their babies, so that the species could survive the historical sweep of human expansion north from Africa?
Do they really have no clue how to prepare to keep their families safe, fed and warm, even with almost a week’s warning? Long underwear, wool socks, neck gators, sleeping bags, food, water, etc - they might have had such practicalities in reserve for years if smart, but even the near-clueless could have woken up and ordered them in time with expedited shipping from EBay when the storm first got publicity. Sheesh!
Pathetic.
No problem, Czar Bloomberg will order that thousands of housing units appear. If he can make 32 oz. sugary drinks disappear, I’m sure that he can walk on water to bless the homeless, lay on hands to heal the sick and broken, break fish and bread to feed the multitudes, and make housing rise up from empty plots of earth.
Oh lord please don’t relocate them to Arizona again.
Don’t worry some Yahoo News idiots think this is going to spur the economy.

They will have a housing problem and it will take a Democrat to make is worse.
26 degrees there tonight.
