Two things surprise me. The first is, doesn't anyone use sponges to clean up messes? Wet, sop up, rinse, repeat. A sponge can last several months. Which leads to my next question: do all you rag-washers have your own washing machine? Isn't this Apartment Therapy? I feel funny enough washing the bathroom rugs in the communal laundry room, let alone a spew-glopped rag. I'm a minimal paper-toweler, but I have found no better way to dry eyeglasses than to blot them on a paper towel. Cloth smears or does not absorb, toilet paper and tissues leave flecks of paper dust.

Actually, the "low-income" moniker is incorrect. I looked it up. It's "middle-income." In NYC, "affordable" housing can mean low, moderate or middle (which is more than moderate) -income housing. You need to have make between $47,000 and something like $72,000 to qualify for one of these 9 houses. I'm curious who would choose to live there, though, because why would someone who has kids choose to live in East NY unless those kids had scholarships to private school? For that kind of money you can find a decent apartment in a decent school district in Brooklym Queens or the Bronx (like Riverdale). Perhaps the nine will be self-employed art/design people who need space. Apartment Therapy - Blogging Dwell... Glenmore Gardens |
