    "Michael Kelly, the housing agency’s new general manager, said it had 'turned the corner' on the project..."

    People are still using that phrase without irony?

    In reply to New Condos For The Poor
    I'm only in favor of a "put them in the condos" plan if they tear down these low-income eyesores. These buildings are so poorly-built, and depressing -- the sooner we replace them with more energy-efficient structures that are better lit and safer, the better.

    @meechybee: The one thing that jars me about Chelsea, is that smack dab in the gallery district are tons of public housing structures like the ones pictured. I'd be all for the modernization of these buildings or complete tearing down of them.

    So where do the poor people live while they do renovations? I mean, they can't expect them to go to their summer homes in the Hamptons- not at this time of year.

    Ah I love The New York Times. Their trend stories are always about a year late. People in England are already so over Keep Calm and Carry On they are taking the piss out of it in books you can buy in paperback.

    @elinorwhyme: In fact, the New York Times itself already covered this story! They seem to be months behind reading their own publications.

    Why is it every time is see the letters BBDO or hear about what a "chief creative officer" or creative director thinks about something I just want to burn shit down? Like the building in which they work.

    You want a out-of-work journalist to come to your house every morning and read the paper to you? That's $45 a year.

    All somebody has to do is obtain a membership, copy content and put it out there for free. The future seems to be shaping up where nobody has money but yet everything is free.

    @Cheap Shot: That's exactly where we're heading. I know young business owners who are more interested in drawing traffic to their business's website, tweets and Facebook presences than paying for advertising in print or on the web. If the "this group subscribes, this group buys ads, this group creates content" model is that broken, then kiss everything as we know it goodbye. That said, I'm not convinced what replaces it will be awful, although awful is definitely a possibility.

    This is a great idea, as long as we're living in 1997. But 12 years later, everyone expects to get their news for free, so this will not work at all.

    Doesn't the last scene of "Heaven's Gate" take place in Newport? Coincidence? I think not.

    Don't want the print OR electronic edition? That'll be $445 a year. (Now that's how to save the newspaper industry!)

    Someone needs to show that delusional old poop a computer soon... Even if whoever finally does it ends up getting fired for keeping this fascinating invention from him for all these years.
