These conversations always come up during a rapid demographic shift, it resembles the arizona anti Mexican conversation that has been going on for years. I have said this before on this blog, it would be interesting to hear from someone qualified to speak about it. So interesting, even going so far as making a derogatory term "yunnies" to identify "them". I dont really have a horse in this race, but I am watching with interest. I dont like the hate and suggestions of violence though.

The only people with the authority to accept their behavior or not are the landlords (who own the place and don't really care if the money comes from Connecticut or not, that's what landlords do) and the police, which everybody on this blog seem to hate and resent until it's three in the morning and the familiar "why don't they DO something?!" gets trotted out. The fact is, Crazy Eddie and others, that you might hate these kids, and you'd be right to hate them, but you really can't do much about it other than complain here, and we already agree with you. That's why we're here. But tell me, how are you going to banish them? Through righteous indignation? Through a corrective dose of "back in the day?" Well, good luck with that. I know it wouldn't have worked with us when we were knocking around once upon a time, but maybe kids are different now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-20611483030119430152012-11-21T09:45:16.377-05:002012-11-21T09:45:16.377-05:00I would LOVE to move to the UES/Park Avenue but no...I would LOVE to move to the UES/Park Avenue but not necessarily to escape frat-party noise. I would move so that my eyes would no longer be assaulted by the deplorable clothing, the sad schmattas, worn by the bland-looking NYU students as they schlump inelegantly around the East Village: ill-fitting sweatshirts and sweat pants that look like they haven't been washed in months, baggy cargo shorts and filthy flip-flops worn 12 months out of the year, and of course the highly offensive UGGS boots. There's really no excuse for UGGS. Children, you look like SLOBS. Acquire a sense of style or move back to the suburbs immediately.

Yes, there are unreasonable hours to do it. Those people suck. But saying people shouldn't practice because they sound bad or because it is simply loud is ridiculous. WE LIVE IN A CITY. Dealing with other people's shit is one of the concessions we make. The buildings many of us choose to live in create a situation where we hear things we don't want to hear. But we should accept it. People are going to have sex in their apartments. People are going to have friends over. People are going to play instruments. People of ALL ages, ALL types, will do this because these are things that people do. Again, we have chosen to live in a place of high density. This does not mean we all need to live silent lives where we are afraid to do more than tip toe around our apartment with pillows tied to our feet. It means we have to accept that we are all going to bother and be bothered simply because we live near one another, not because we or they are doing something wrong.

I am an NYU student. I moved out of housing and far away from the school because I was embarrassed by my peers and as equally annoyed as many of the long time village residents who are posting here. That being said, I wish the stigma wouldn't carry over to all us students. I promise at least a few of us were raised by good people and were taught to be considerate of others. We genuinely care about the city and the neighborhood. But THAT being said, I have encountered the loud, obnoxious behavior in every neighborhood I have ever lived in, the perpetrators being of all ages and types. Do you REALLY need to honk your horn repeatedly at 3 am on a quiet street to signal to your friend that they are taking to much time? Are you really not aware that when you smoke the odors filter up into my apartment? Is it REALLY a problem that I have a few friends over for the first time in six months at 5 pm on a Saturday and we somehow managed to make enough noise to bother you? I don't know and I curse at you a lot, but I also accept that these indecencies are what I choose to live with by choosing to live in the city. I am sure as respectful as we all think we are, we break codes we aren't aware exist. Many people = many codes. And sometimes it just takes a kind exchange between neighbors where you say, "hey, I recognize you do things one way and I do things another, so let us try and make a compromise."
