Two days ago, my checkout girl was on a headset phone call talking about how she's about to "smash some bitch" if she doesn't realize she's stepping in the "fucking danger zone nigga".

Blackstone has no interest in serving the low to middle income PCVST residents, they're being forced to keep 5000 units affordable - forced. Otherwise they continue to jack up (on average about $500 per yearly lease renewal) the market rate units, turning over units year after year, filling them with privileged students/post-collegiates, various transients, generally those not interested in contributing anything to the community or their Stuytown neighbors. I live in ST, I shop at Associated, I see how folks are struggling. It's shameful.

I'd hate to see them replaced. Please don't "fix" what is working just fine. Not every supermarket has to be gourmet/fancy. Basic is handy, useful.

That said the Avenue C location (the one by me) is absolutely horrible. Can we please get some upgrades/improvements? I feel like the Avenue C location is totally neglected/forgotten about.

There's no need to "upscale" the location, and the Associated doesn't bring blight to the neighborhood and overall offer very reasonable prices. They go above and beyond serving the areas seniors by offering telephone ordering which is essential for those who just don't have computer access or ability. Especially in light of the DeBlasio administration's deal with Blackstone to keep 5000 apartments "affordable" for the next 20 years, it would be a slap in the fact to the city, that agreement, and their tenants. Hopefully, Blackstone will see the light and offer Associated a reasonable lease renewal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-12275849392717356722016-03-22T10:34:56.212-04:002016-03-22T10:34:56.212-04:00Would be a neighborhood success if this stayed as ...Would be a neighborhood success if this stayed as an Associated. Wouldn't mind renovations either. Good for Blackstone.. so far. That 8th Avenue landlord is a real #$%^ $168,000 rent hike is the highest I've heard of.
