Regarding efficiency.. I'm noticing more homeless wandering the east village pandering for money these days. With the rents approaching 4k/mo for a 1bdrm, people will probably not tolerate being harassed for money (was called an asshole the other day for ignoring a request for donation by a dude, who I can only assume is homeless). That said, I kinda miss the edginess of the East Village from years gone by...
