					  <description><![CDATA[As part of a New York City Housing Development Corporation (HDC) project, Maple Plaza in East Harlem was constructed in the late 1990s in hopes that the building would help anchor redevelopment efforts in the neighborhood. The eight-story, 155-unit U-shaped building went up on 123rd Street between Madison and Park Avenues, and contained a state-of-the-art laundry room, a community room, and 87 parking spaces. There was also a corporate tenant--the Ralph Lauren Cancer Center--on the building's lower level. The Mortgage Insurance Fund was providing 100 percent insurance on a loan of $17 million, and all seemed to be a go for the much-publicized--and much-needed--co-op.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Several years ago, the only television shows on buying and selling real estate were late-night or Sunday morning agonizing, yet tantalizing, infomercials touting get-rich-quick products. These shows taught viewers that by simply buying the product, purchasing property at no- or low-cost, they could reap the financial rewards of homeownership.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[As the legislative session in Albany winds down, with the Legislature passing
the budget on time for the first time in two decades and the City Council continuing
with its business, now is a good time to take a look at some of the housing-related
legislation our elected officials considered during the year. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[For decades, the most desirable residential buildings were those with visible
security systems, liveried door staffs, concierges, elevator operators, keyless
locks, state-of-the-art intercom systems and video cameras. Over the course of
the last five years, as our war on terrorism has unfolded, these additional security
measures have become the norm for all residential structures, and are no longer
strictly the domain of high-end complexes. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[With annual meeting season upon us lots of shareholders contemplate leaving the
sidelines behind to join the ruling class. Before you decide to cross over, be
forewarned that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. To help
you make an informed decision, I offer the following crash course in director
basics culled from The New York Co-op Bible (where you can go for a more advanced
degree). ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[On May 5, 2005, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg proposed a $49.7 billion budget plan
for Fiscal Year 2006 that closes a once $4 billion budget gap and continues to
invest in education, housing, human services, public safety and economic development.
While the mayor's budget reaps the benefits of an improved economy, there
is still quite a bit earmarked that could impact the co-op and condo market and/or
the overall housing market.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[In a city as densely populated as New York City, government agencies such as the
Department of Sanitation of New York (DSNY) have their work cut out for them when
it comes to strategically managing the 365-day-a-year task of picking up the city's
garbage.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[In Atlanta, Georgia, it's illegal to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole or
street lamp. In Pueblo, Colorado, it is illegal to let a dandelion grow within
city limits. In Alabama, it is illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter
in church. You may not be arrested and jailed if you're caught pulling any
of these stunts, but make no mistake: these rules are on the books, and if you're
deemed unruly, publicly intoxicated, or otherwise disagreeable to the authorities
while tethering your giraffe, cultivating your dandelions, or wearing your goofy
mustache, they may decide to dust off these old laws and arrest you for them,
too. ]]></description>
