Isn't it obvious why Madonna is in there? She and her H&M, American Apparel gang of hipsters are just who TS are hoping to attract. With their trust funds, dry senses of humor and general disinterest in life, they would make perfect tenants. That's of course if they weren't all "dj's."

If Pal Joey had any semblence of a conscience, he wouldn't allow Tishman Speyer to advertise on Curbed, knowing what bloodsucking, lying, swindling bastards they are.

I heard from reliable sources that Tish Spy is actually not halting production of their pressurized walls due to the link between them and the recent TB outbreak among market rate tenants, but has decided instead to simply move them to the rent stabilized apartments, hoping to steer the epidemic where they feel it can "at least do some good," as a Tish Spy spokesman put it.

Oh, if only Jacob Riis were still around to document the conditions at Stuyvesant Town. He would be able to write a whole extra chapter in his book "How the Other Half Lives."

So that explains it! Those walls!!! Remember this?

NEW YORK -The 2007 tuberculosis scare occurred when a resident of Stuyvesant Town in New York City, Andrew "Drew" Speaker, (dubbed the 'TB Guy' by local newspaper, the T&V) flew from JFK Airport to Paris, France and back again while infected with tuberculosis. The incident sparked a debate in Congress on how to eliminate the squalid conditions that foster it, including growing numbers of young, middle income single people forced into living in crowded market rate Stuyvesant Town apartments.

"This outbreak is due entirely to Tishman-Speyer methods of treating prisoners, I mean tenants," raged Sen. Chuck Schumer. "We certainly have a right to complain when well prisoners, I mean tenants, are herded into cramped quarters with those who have been infected with tuberculosis. Mr. Speyer, tear down these pressurized walls!"

Well! It's about time!

Stuy Town Leasing Office employee of the month Patty Barnum was disappointed when she learned that pressurized walls are no longer a selling point. “I was able to close so many deals with the extra-bedroom jive, Ms. Barnum said. “You know, like, it’s really true, there is a sucker born every minute.”
