Moving Day

10 March 2009, 00.36 | Posted in Brooklyn, Random ass shit, homies, videos |

I had to move last week due to the unscrupulous tactics of the Hudson Corporation, who took over my building, The Cobble Hill Towers, and jacked every rent they could in an effort to force out as many tenants as possible. Why would they be doing this in a recession? Well, the building has been rent controlled for a long time and corporations sure don’t like that, so the Hudson Corp revoked the preferential leases that had always been offered by the previous saint of a landlord, Mr. Frank Farella, and pushed every rent to the max. Once each apartment is vacated, the unit goes out of stabilization and the Hudson fucks can charge whatever they want. Anyways, I fell vic to this and had to bounce. Luckily the timing just happened to coincide with the opening of a spot with my ill homies Anton and Alex in Prospect Heights and now I’m straight country clubbing it up all summer! But back to the Towerz, this place had spiral staircases that were barely even wide enough for a person, much less a couch, and my poor baby had to come down the hard way, well hard for her at least. Yes this is what moving is like in Brooklyn. Thanks for the help Java!
