It’s the East Village and I’m there all the time.

Hobos, travelers and insane artists are an integral part of the neighborhood. Cheap, carefree neighborhoods are necessary for artistic development. This is why all the art and architecture schools were here. Most important historic developments since 1850 can trace their roots to a few blocks in this neighborhood.

Now we have all these rich idiots flying in from suburbia to be “artists” and they are complaining about a little urine or dope or hobos.

There are plenty of fake sanitized neighborhoods around the city and these fools can move there (if they can afford it).

Keep the Village RAW, REAL and CHEAP!!!!

How long have you lived there? Most New Yorkers still call it the Lower East Side, not the East Village.

The more I read your post, the more I don’t understand what the hell you’re talking about. Cheap housing in lower Manhattan? Unless you’ve been there for 40 years and are rent stabilized, there is no cheap housing anywhere in Manhattan. What artistes are doing, as well as students, are doubling and tripling up in apartments and splitting up the rent. Many of the old tenements are being renovated so that the landlords can jack up the rent. Rich idiots? Do you mean the corrupt Russians who have crashed into my town?
