I have to laugh when a certain stalker claims that I don't step into the city.  I am in the city EVERY DAY of the week.  My office is IN the city.  The boundaries of the entity that I work for include much of the north-end of the city.  And, we actually do something positive to improve the lives of people who live in the city -- unlike someone who hides behind a username, whines incessantly but does nothing about it and makes bogus personal attacks against anyone who disagrees with him/her.

Schenectady's old 'Y' could become new apartments for seniors
Oct 7, 2014, 11:09am EDT

Norstar Development USA, a real estate developer building upscale apartments in downtown Albany, New York, is pursuing a different kind of project in Schenectady: converting an old YMCA into 60 apartments for senior citizens.
Norstar is seeking site plan approval from the Schenectady Planning Commission to convert the four-story building at 13 State St. into apartments, said Christine Primiano, principal planner for the city.
Norstar is scheduled to make an initial presentation at the commission’s Oct. 15 meeting.
It’s unclear whether the apartments would be market-rate or subsidized by the government.
Norstar, based in Ontario, Canada, is the 15th-largest builder of affordable housing in the U.S., according to the company website.
The YMCA closed its gym four years ago and moved to a new branch several blocks away. An attached residence for indigent men, with 188 units, shut down in June. The men now live in a renovated building across town at 845 Broadway.
The old Y is in a prominent location downtown, kitty-corner from Schenectady County Community College.
Norstart Vice President Lori Harris said the company is negotiating site control with the Schenectady County Metroplex Development Authority, which has been actively marketing the property as part of its effort to improve lower State Street.
“We need that to have standing to appear in front of the Planning Commission,” Harris said.
Metroplex Chairman Ray Gillen said: “If 13 State were to be developed for senior housing, residents would be able to access college programs, including culinary arts and music programs, shows at Proctors, movies, [and] fitness with both the new YMCA and YWCA located nearby and many other amenities.
(Page 2 of 2)
Norstar is one of the largest developers in Canada, with more than 4 million square feet of commercial, residential, retail and industrial space in its portfolio.
In the U.S., Norstar owns more than 3,500 residential units. The company is in the midst of renovating a former warehouse in downtown Albany into 29 apartments, office and retail space.

I guess you weren't paying attention or reading very carefully.  I said quite clearly and factually -- I am IN THE CITY everyday and my office is IN THE CITY.  So get over it, you and the he/she stalker are peddling a pack of lies.

Furthermore, it has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

Looks like great credentials -- at least from what is contained in that piece.

You do things to improve the lives of people who live in the city?   Tell us how.   Do you go tell them fairy tales, that YORU political party is doing wonderful things for them?   Are you being honest and telling them that the city is wisely spending their tax dollars on downtown instead of the neighborhoods where they live?   if so, I hope you go to confession every day.

Oh, and you work IN the city??????    What, one square floor tile??????   Oh wow, he MIGHT put his pinky toe on a floor tile

Kind of looks like DV, green with envy that others of his age are adult enough to be independent, own their own homes, don't depend on two mommies.

A Democratic renaissance for the foreclosure attorney's, moving van companies and bankruptcy attorney's. BFD more Section 8 housing downtown. Call me when the first new store or business from outside
the County not screwing the oppressed taxpayers moves Downtown. BTW, nice cameo by DVOR in horrible A-Jello's TV commercials. He can't find any supporters who aren't paid for? Bravo to Jill Polk and hope
to see DEM machine hacks fall in November. The DEMS need to get back to new curbing and parks in Beirut aka Lower State Street.
