					  <description><![CDATA[ Looking to save the planet&#8212;or just a few bucks&#8212;more and more New Yorkers are looking to &#8220;green&#8221; their lifestyles. Environmental watchdogs are quick to point fingers at gas
 guzzling automobiles as prime contributors to climate change, but according to
 the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration, residential buildings
 account for 21 percent of all carbon emissions in the United States. That makes
 housing almost as big a culprit as transportation, which surprisingly generates
 only about 27 percent of the country&#8217;s harmful emissions.

					  <description><![CDATA[For over two decades, The Cooperator&#8217;s annual Co-op & Condo Expo has been a perennial save-the-date for anyone and everyone associated with the tri-state area&#8217;s co-op and condo building communities. Since 1987, vendors, service providers, board members, building staff members and residents alike have been coming to the Expo to learn about new products and technologies, exchange information, network and improve how their buildings are run. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Timeshares have been around for decades, and these partial property ownership arrangements are more familiar to many people in part because of their increasing popularity. It&#8217;s easy to see why they are so popular: A family wants a vacation home, but rather than take out a new mortgage and buy a property outright, they pay to share an existing property with other investors. The fee they pay entitles them to use the property for a specified period of time at a certain time of the year. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[For anyone getting a mortgage for a new apartment, a property appraisal is part of the cost of securing their new place. In fact, for existing apartment owners, it&#8217;s one of the most important things they can do for their property. An appraisal is usually necessary to insure a building or apartment, or to secure financing for a project or renovation. Before a lender will cut a check, they likely will have the property assessed by a professional appraiser to ascertain its current value. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Emma Lazarus perhaps said it best in her immortal poem in which she spoke about the wave of immigrants that were welcomed to American&#8217;s golden shores. Generation upon generation of newcomers have chosen to settle in New York City and its boroughs to find their piece of the American dream. They came from every country, economic class and social strata to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, to Brooklyn and Queens, to places like Bushwick and Bensonhurst and many other neighborhoods, to start a new life in America. Between 1820 and 1860, a total of four million immigrants entered the United States, most coming through New York City. ]]></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 Big Apple. Paris has just as much romantic cachet. Rome is every bit as frenetic. London has excellent theater, too, and there are also esteemed financial institutions in Zurich and Hong Kong and Frankfurt. Tokyo and Mumbai and Jakarta have just as much population density, if not more. Berlin&#8217;s art scene is probably more robust. Kuala Lampur has tall skyscrapers as well. And the cabbies drive just as crazily in Naples. But no other city has all of those things, and more. As former Mayor Rudy Giuliani put it to David Letterman a few years ago, suggesting a new motto for New York: &#8220;We can kick your city&#8217;s&#8230;&#8221; Well, you can imagine. It was Rudy talking, after all. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[If one aspect of New York has remained constant since the city&#8217;s founding, it&#8217;s that nothing remains constant. New York&#8217;s own Washington Irving, the writer for whom Irving Place is named, groused in his September years that the city he recalled from his youth no longer existed. Too much had changed, he lamented. And that was in the 1850s, before the Civil War, skyscrapers, and Donald Trump. ]]></description>
