I read this as "L.E.S. is no more," which kind of fits in with my current mental state, as someone mental is going to be inaugurated Friday.
It is true, the L.E.S. is a great location between downtown and midtown which has not been fully exploited. And demand for new development is high there. I hate what has happened on Houston and Ludlow all around Katz's. The high rises dwarfing all the historic tenements casting shadows. Delancey is also prime for high-rises too. I hope there will be more emphasis in livable urban planning. Oh, also,unfortunately, they going to want to run out every poor person they can that is in the way. :-(
Here's a short article about Toronto repealing landlord handouts that go some ways into explaining how some of these rich fucks got that way, because these kind of real estate welfare programs exist EVERYwhere, ESPECIALLY NYC:

This is only ONE of a FEW breaks that the moguls depend on, and they LOVE it when we subsidize their misadventures. Follow the money.....ALWAYS!
Isn't L.E.S. is More the motto of a LES artist? This rings a bell...
Should be trademark infringement.
