					  <description><![CDATA[Most New Yorkers are familiar with New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, but how many people have heard the name Kenneth Demario before? If you&#8217;re someone concerned with co-ops, condos or any real estate issues in the city, Demario is someone you need to know. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[With more and more people hanging out shingles as either interior design professionals&#8212;thanks partly to the popularity of television shows like Design on a Dime, Extreme Home Makeover and Trading Spaces&#8212;knowing who to hire for a job in your home or building can sometimes be a little tricky. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Imagine the biggest three-dimensional puzzle you can. Now imagine fitting eight million people into this puzzle. Putting the pieces together takes more than just luck. It takes enormous skill, precision and foresight. Those are three attributes that the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) works hard to cultivate&#8212;it&#8217;s their job to put that puzzle together and ensure that the people, buildings and infrastructure of all five boroughs meld together as seamlessly as possible. It&#8217;s not a challenge for the faint of heart. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[New York City&#8217;s governing structure is complex for a metropolis of 8.2 million residents&#8212;it takes a lot of people in a lot of departments and organizations to keep the city running smoothly. Some of those people (the mayor, for instance) are household names, while others are perhaps less well known. The members of the city&#8217;s community boards may fall into the second category, but the work they do for the city is no less important for being done largely behind-the-scenes. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ The Dakota. The San Remo. The Ansonia. Greenwich 
 Village. Gramercy Park. DUMBO. New York City and its five boroughs are home 
 to buildings and neighborhoods that are celebrities in their own right, and 
 preserving the historic character and impact of those buildings is an 
 important part of preserving the city's legacy for the future. One 
 group wholly devoted to preserving (and sometimes improving) that legacy is 
 the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission, the governing body 
 responsible for designating neighborhoods and buildings as official 
 historic landmarks. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Condominiums can provide all of the advantages of traditional homes, as well as affording other benefits such as recreational facilities, group activities and close proximity to shopping and other destination points. But the quasi-municipal nature of a condominium community means that elected representatives and property managers can have a myriad of issues to deal with in managing the neighborhood. This often amounts to amateurs dealing with decisions that a professional might handle better. Even among professional property management companies, some managers are more educated in the industry and more actively involved in their communities than others. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[For most New Yorkers, the search for housing is the least favorite part of the New York experience. If the size is right, the price is wrong; if the price is right, the neighborhood's wrong. And then there's that hideous bathtub in the kitchen. In an area as popular and populous as metropolitan New York, finding a unit that meets all your needs is darn near impossible. The Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) hopes to change all that. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Whether trees are categorically lovelier than poems, as Joyce Kilmer famously suggested, is a matter of debate. If pressed, I'll take Ode on a Grecian Urn over Charlie Brown's Yuletide entry any day of the week. New Yorkers will agree, however, that there is a certain magic present when, in the asphalt jungle that characterizes the groundscape in Gotham, a tree grows in Brooklyn&#8212;or, for that matter, in Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island or the Bronx. ]]></description>
