Plywood with weights over one hole and a smoke bomb down the other helps with the patience bit.

> it’s impossible to do significant development.

Changing the building's interior layout, utilities, demising walls, or changing the use represents significant development. You can do these things with LPC designation. You'd apply for a Certificate of No Effect, if I recall from the few times I did this as a project manager in the city.

Edit: The original poster changed their tune and claimed it couldn't be developed into a tower. They'd still be wrong though; see Hearst Tower as an example.

There aren't many interior landmarks registered with the LPC, and this building is not one of them. Exterior landmarks are required to preserve the facade and appearance; you can still do significant upgrades and modifications to the interior.

Cooper Union owns that land, right? I seem to remember something about that being a major source of revenue for them.

I may have been thinking about the ESB.

Also important to remember that owning the building is not the same as owning the land on which it sits.

I'm sure it probably warrants at least that much in repairs and upgrades to update and to comply with LPC and other City bodies. Those costs are priced in.

Try clapping out the syllables for "prism" with its singular vowel. The "m" is sonant, a speech sound that by itself makes a syllable.

I don't see many folks in wheelchairs on fashion show runways...

Take heart: You may finish a good book, but that doesn't mean that it's finished with you.

Yes, they have, but it's also pretty clear that the rating system titles are tongue in cheek.

I rather enjoy the rating system developed by the crew at Double Toasted. In descending order, each with a "high or low" option:

Better than Sex: This film is excellent, and pushes the boundaries of cinema as an art form.

Full Price: A very enjoyable film which is worth paying full price for in the cinema.

Matinee: Worth seeing in the cinema, but not worth paying full price for, or at least during the initial theatrical run.

Rental: Can be enjoyed, but still has a variety of flaws. This is worth waiting paying very little to see after the theatrical release.

Some Ol' Bullshit: The crew recommend against paying any money to see this film, and has very little that redeems it.

Fuck You: The crew actively recommends against seeing this film at all. This rating is typically given when a critic is angered or offended by a film's content, and indicates that it has absolutely no redeeming qualities.

Bitchin' Camaro, bitchin' Camaro

I ran over my neighbors

Bitchin' Camaro, bitchin' Camaro

Now I'm in all the papers

My folks bought me a bitchin' Camaro

With no insurance to match

So if I happen to run you down

Please don't leave a scratch

I ran over some old lady

One night at the county fair

And I didn't get arrested

Because my dad's the mayor

Not rare at all; it gets reposted every couple of days.

The "elves" are and have always been Chinese children in factories. This is an extension of the fact that Santa loves rich kids and hates the poor ones.

Sure, but you can barely hear it.

Kentucky Pop is also Meth-POP, BlackLung-POP, and Slept-With-POP.
