"Friendly" warning? That was anything but.
Let me introduce myself - I'm of those people you hold so much disdain for and I bet you your Dolce and Gabanna whatever you'd never know it by looking at me.
And as one of "thugs" (I'm female, btw) I'll have you know that I work for a hugely respectable non-profit organization that obviously doesn't pay well, but the reward is huge nonetheless. So without the program I wouldn't be able to afford to live in NYC and working to make the world a better place in my choice of career.
I'm sorry I'm stanking up your environment but I'm not leaving. So good riddance to your judgemental jerk ass and I hope you find the complex of your dreams surrounded by other pretentious snobs such as yourself.

i agree w/ the first response...what makes you so special? i too work to make this world a better place, and if you can't afford what everyone else is paying try washington heights or innwood and stop living off of the rest of us, my rent is high b/c you are sucking the system dry...

I agree with City Chick. How sad that you judge someone by their annual salary. The late Mother Theresa made next to nothing. You must think she's a low-life too. Very sad. Judge someone by what's in their heart, not by their salary or skin color.

Wow I'm amazed. Either you are joking or you are an incomplete two dimensional character of a person. You pay high rent because you are undoubtedly a mindless snobby consumerist led around by your wallet like the leash you use to drag around that overpriced purebred ratty little dog I'm sure you must own. Forgive me for prejudging you but it seems to be in fashion. I'm sure you can sympathize. By the way, I don't actually live in this building, I'm visiting a friend. I actually live in Gramercy Park in a building that I'm sure you couldn't afford...judging from the fact that you think Club Monaco and Urban Outfitters are signs of "having made it". You actually reak of new money so I guess it's just par for the course with people like you. What a disgusting little person. I wonder if you'll ever have a moment of self realization when you are on some interminable line at "Urban Outfitters"? Will you realize how not fabulous it is to be on a line that snakes around the clearance bin of reduced price panties? Perhaps one day, when you drag a $30 fig scented candle home to one of these shameful little litterbox apartments to replicate the atmosphere of some second class "boutique" you struggle to be able to afford to shop in, it will dawn on you - "I'm poor". And there but for the grace of a mediocre college education goes my work class ass.

I've lived at Hudson sicne it was first opened and I have never, I mean NEVER ever had a problem with anyone in the building. If anything all I can say is that some of the rather younger residents are incredibly rude and spoiled. They leave their trash in the garbage room on the floor instead of throwing down the chute as if that is too much trouble for them to do. I've had rude neighbors who don't hold the elevator even when they see me coming towards the elevator. But I have never ever seen "thugs" or hoodlums as you call them.

The reason you are ONLY paying a paltry $2500-6000 for your rent is because the building has set aside those apartments for those "hoodlums", who are probably still paying a higher percentage of their income towards rent than you are, not to mention probably working harder and longer hours for that income, in hot, stinky jobs where you wouldn't last a minute in your silly Urban Outfitter gear.

CityChick (and her sympathizers) - There is no more moral "right" to live in midtown Manhattan than there is a moral "right" to be able to own a Maserati. There are places called "Queens" or "Brooklyn" or the places in Manhattan mentioned in the original post. Using some of the logic on this page, why not just give every poor person free housing in Manhattan?
Maybe you're not a "thug", but many of the low-rent people who don't deserve to live in these buildings are "thugs". And I don't want to deal with them, especially when they're basically getting an 80% discount that I'm forced to help finance.
These type of programs are ridiculous. Yes, you got lucky and now live where you can't afford. Fine, the government is screwing me over and there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it. But don't pretend you're somehow morally "right."

Actually, Mr./Ms. Club Monaco, there IS a moral "right" to live anywhere you please. I don't know where in God's name you think you're coming from but, last time I checked, the basic rights of all Americans include being able to live in a decent, safe and clean neighborhood no matter how much money they make. It's a shame someone like you exists - maybe you should spend a few weeks in Cambodia or Darfur where living conditions are sub-par with human existance as a whole. Maybe that would change your views about how the American government is "screwing" you. Ass.
