I read a blog that said the most effective way to get people to do what you want is to tell them

...and that's all it was, a tease. It was more about the new high-rise ordinance and talked about Ashby a little. They kinda made it sound like it's still a possibility.

That's a shame. It's always nice to know what's going up around here.

a few years ago, while changing careers, i spent a few days looking at everything i could get my hands on. most of the work at home jobs i found are contract work (private contractors: technical writing, programmers, etc. basically, jobs for people with existing experience and credentials in a given field.) medical billing, admin....all require investment in equipment and sometimes training. good luck!

thanks for the advice

I agree, but for a different reason. The NYC charter refers to it as the "City of New York." Other New York cities take the same approach. For example, Albany is the "City of Albany."

Like a buying brand new car, the smart money lets someone else take the initial hits, then you can come swooping in later and reap the rewards of their starry-eyed expenditures.

As far as "less problems," you've never actually dealt with a home builder, have you? new does not necessarily equal quality, nor does it necessarily equal problem-free.

Open your eyes to the gem neighborhoods and homes out there!

Usually they start in mid-March.

Alright, thanks for your reply.
