Bloomberg: What the hell is his problem?

"For your own safety stay in rooms with no or few windows."

DICK!

do you live in a glass house or something? you know what they say, man.

studio, WITH WINDOWS

uh yeah we all have those fyi

I know that you think that every thing that bloomberg/the/ mta city of ny does is 100% just to fuck w/ you, but I mean, if the hurricane does get bad then people probably should attempt to stay away from windows. what do you want him to say? "I am buying a 1br for everyone in the city who lives in a studio" if there's a part of your studio that's further away from windows, you should probably be there. if things go apocalyptic, I dunno hang out in the bathroom.

fwiw I'm also in a studio w/ large windows right now too, outside of nyc but more directly in the hurricane's path

"stay in a room with no windows in your apartment" is just something a guy w/ a panic room and several bunkers says

do you have a bathroom

we have a 2br but there's nowhere away from a window. I guess the "worst" windows are ones facing S or SW? Or does it not work like that?

Morbs, shut the fuck up and get in the bathroom with your Joel McCrea stickers collection.

lol morbs this one is a bit of a stretch

I'm not gonna sleep in the bathroom, iatee, but i recommend you do

that's like... standard hurricane SOP

IN FLORIDA WHERE PPL HAVE HOUSES, YOU HICK

i have to imagine that in the vast jungle of nyc someone, somewhere, has an apartment with two rooms

what are you even complaining about at this point? do you think bloomberg is in some way responsible for the hurricane? do you think he could be doing things he isn't doing right now, if so, what exactly?

an overwhelming majority of residents of new york city do not live in studios, I remember looking at the breakdown somewhere.

what pct live in apts with a windowless room? don't answer.

it may be annoying (i have a 1-bedroom but the living room and kitchen have windows) but it's sensible advice. the mayor of Hoboken recommended the same thing FWIW.

i mean, this is a silly thing to get pissed off with Bloomberg about!

it shows the automatic-pilot elitism, typical of all high-level pols but rather pronounced in him.

this is insane

that we don't have windowless rooms?

Yes, but I, for example, am in a tenement 2Br and we have windows in every room.

right but there's still a decision you can make w/r/t which room seems safer

which was basically all bloomberg was saying...

yeah fyi every single government official and broadcaster on the eastern seaboard has said this exact thing in the past 2 days, angrily reviving a thread about one of them because of your political opposition to them is just well it's just almost too morbz

also it's not like there's gonna be some correlation between 'people w/ a room w/ no windows' and 'rich people' - lots of the 'worst' rooms in the city are gonna have no windows and lots of rich people are living in glass-y window-lovin skyscrapers.

OMG Morbs, the "stay in a room with no windows" is also advice they give you in a tornado here in the Midwest, this isn't like something new Bloomberg pulled out of his ass just to piss you off.

if you're so worried about debris flying through your window, then go to a shelter.

really, this is just pissing and moaning for the sake of pissing and moaning.

yeah, reading boilerplate 'Prompter shit from the fuckin' Midwest is another example of Bloomie's expertise.

xxp

Alfred, shouldnt you be picking up teens at the video arcade?

hey let's find an example of an office-holding politician you admire and agree with who has issued this completely standard and logical warning -- oh right n/m

"shall we play a game of donkey dong?"

iatee already said it, but there are plenty of the new yuppie/hedge-funder condos that have tons of windows. this is just basic safety, not another sally in the Class War for Christ's sake.

then again, maybe Dennis Perrin lives in a studio walk-up and can write a suitably angry opinion piece about all of the "clueless" politicos. won't do shit, but hey you gotta keep occupied during the storm amirite?!?

i do like the idea of windowless rooms being the mark of the high class

"i finally knew i had made it when i could sit in a dark, small, windowless room during a tropical storm"

The only windowless room I remember being in, in Brooklyn, was ian j0hns0n's! we smoked some shit.

Perrin lives in Michigan, dilly

also not all rooms w/ windows are the same thing - an older tenement w/ a window to a central shaft area / small courtyard would presumably be less dangerous than a window facing a large open on-the-grid-avenue

i'm not really worried about the windows, but there are two skylights for which the covers don't seem to be very well attached. and the ceiling has leaked before

FIX THAT, BLOOMBERG

what about if you have a window big enough for a cow to be blown through what then

I don't think anyone on ilx lives in staten island

this thread's revival is Exhibit A as to why politicians don't (and shouldn't) try to court the chronic malcontent vote.

I was generally happy with the Democratic Party in 1974-75, fyi

2 years out of a 200+ year run isn't exactly a strong refutation of a charge of chronic malcontentism.

Progressive Era was nice too

so now I'm 200+ yo?
