week end á la newyorkaine

The duties of my job push (!!!???) me to travel much too oftenly to New York. Fall is obviously the best season to stay there ("autumn in New York. it lifts you up when you´re let down..) if you don´t want to get freezed in February or roasted in August. Roosvelt Island horror sights fascinate me now more than ever. Even if I hadn't to trip to New York obligée, I would certainly search for the way to stay there at the precise moments. My top neighbourhood now is the Bowery, with an excellent hotel at a rather reasonable prize (does anything like exist in N.Y?). Unfortunately, the Bowery borough has also fallen into the predatious voraciousness of Real Estate "gentrifiers". To "gentrify" in that city means filling real boroughs with unreally snobbish mid-western college middle class (mid-mids) applying to look sophisticated, newyorcan, (even intellectual, sometimes), and deep. Nothing of the aforementioned could really be taken seriously, of course, except for Real Estate predators, who get use ($$$) of this legendary snobbery. Voraciousness has reached its highests peaks in investors striving for gettting poor people out of their much-too-well-for them Mitchell-Lama apartments, that, as years pass by, have become real newyorcan lofty-roomy luxury. Gay scene doesn't result as novelty and exciting as a decade ago, maybe because of its growing influx in my motherland, Chile. Nonetheless, there's always gratifying surprising issues in old favourites, as the Roxy. Middle age gayness has a different taste, definitely, and I found myself wandering how could I manage to buy a now-precious Mitchell-Lama apartment in the now-upscale Bronx Co-Op City, getting some advantage of the city's proverbial snobbery, that makes such high quality buildings be so underpriced if compared with some stylish slums in the Meatpacker. I would really love to have a pied-à-terre there, a neighbourhood in which formerly Third-World Gay couples promenade cozily with their children into the very livable large and green outdoors of Co-Op City.
