Grab your spade and join your fellow residents Saturday morning to help Stuyvesant Town finish the landscaping project they clearly can’t finish on their own. Starting at 7AM residents are encouraged to finish planting the rest of the expensive trees that Peter Walker and Partners left un-watered and ready to die. After all, you are paying for them.
Somewhere, Alfred Joyce Kilmer is rolling in his grave.

Rumor has it that the trees and bushes are from California and purposely dried out so that wildfires can ignite spontaneously or with just a burning cigarette butt or two tossed in the right place. The program is designed to smoke out illegal subletters and rent-stabilized tenants.
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant?
Anyone knows an ant, cant
Move a rubber tree plant!
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your gettin low
'stead of lettin go
Just remember that ant,
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant!
Eeew! That starved-looking creature strapped to the hospital cot should have the caption: "Closer to Belsen than Bellevue." Creepy!
Can you say "boondoggle?" The economy of Mexico depends on such as this.
You all sound like a bunch of parasitic rent stabilized tenants. You all should be living in Queens or some place more appropriate to your class.
Or maybe the planned Oval Detention Center.
What a bunch of ingrates. Don't you and your whining readers realize that the purpose of the landscaping project was to weaken the soil's ability to soak up ground water and enable mudslides on the walkways - thus giving Stuy Town that rustic look. The smartly designed and well thought out flat curbing increases this beautiful feature.
NEW YORK -- Tishman-Speyer's "final push" involved the forcible planting of the last of the landlord's 200,000 dying trees and plants by residents of Stuyvesant Town after more than 120 gardners mysteriously collapsed late last week. Tenant laborers complained of wide-ranging physical abuse and heat-stroke, which resulted in a number of fatalities inflicted upon them by security forces. Management deliberately refused to allow the residents to cool off by dipping their feet in the Oval fountain, while keeping them planting continuously for the entire day in practically tropical heat. Falling down was risky as strings of careening golf carts were known to drive over many who collapsed.
At 10pm, the residents finally got the last of the plantings in the ground. They were then granted a reprieve by Rob Speyer, allowing them to return to their apartments.
The Tenants Association is calling upon the DHCR to investigate the atrocities.
This market rate parasitic tenant is pissed that this place isn't living up to what was promised...bitch.
