"THIS IS MY HOME" say 25,000 residents of PETER COOPER/STUYVESANT TOWN some for 63 yrs! 1/31/10

David Axelrod grew up in Stuyvesant Town, don't forsake US!

I live in Peter Cooper Stuyvesant Town, THIS IS MY HOME along with 24,999 others in my family, it is also....the biggest real estate default in US history.

I wanted to put a face on my community where some have lived since 1947! It's heartbreaking that we are being used as one man said, "monopoly pieces, these are people's lives we're talking about"

So today Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are now owned 100% by the taxpayers, does that mean I don't have to pay rent anymore because they are the owners of Peter Cooper Stuyvesant Town now that Tishman Speyer has walked away from the biggest real estate default in US history?

I have lived here for 15 years and this is my home. If it wasn't for Sty Town I would never have been able to afford living in Manhattan. It helped me live my dream.
