Back in November, when Tishman Speyer, the new owners of Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village, sent residents a chipper Happy Thanksgiving note, one Curbed commenter was heard to observe, "That letter is a clarion call that you're about to get fucked."
Comes today, to the Curbed inbox, a reader email that begins thusly: "Now that Tischman/Speyer own Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village, the rumors and horrors are beginning to circulate. First the horrors. Friends of mine who moved into a 1 bedroom non rent stabilized apartment last year for $2,200 just received their lease renewal."
You think you know where this is going. And you're so right. >>
