but I dont know the right word for what I am trying to say. I find it hard to explain - but things are changing and not for the better - maybe its me.
I just dont feel that friendliness I used to. I was trying to think what could cause this change - is it where the new people are coming from, what area maybe?
Yes maybe NYC is a lot more unfriendly then other areas and large cities no matter where, could be added to that theory. One thing I thought was maybe the multiple home ownership could be a reason for TV becoming more unfriendly. When I first came here TV discouraged multiple ownership but I think forbid it. As they did not want TV to become and invest property community. I really think they were right in there rules as most of the other rules.
The reason I believe this is if anyone has worked in an area like Bedfort Stuyvesant (Bedfort Sty) in Brooklyn NY, or Harlem in NYC. Well I have and IMO one of reasons they became ghettos is the apartment house and private home were owned by slum lords - the renters only rented and did not own. When the city helped people buy there own home the turn around began. Now to compare there and here. When you live on a block with two or three rental homes the neighborhood is not the same as when everyone owns there own home and works on it and keeps it looking nice. Maybe I have said enough as many posters to TOTV have multiple home and will defend there position - yes this America and everyone has a right to make money and succeed even at the expense of others and yes I know this is not NYC --- I need another drink of Kool-Aid. As you can see I am not and english major forgive my writing that rambles on and my punctuation

Huh? I mean, really, huh? You can't expect anyone to take this seriously, can you? Huh?
