To Amherst Zoning and Select Board:
ReplyDeleteA half-million-dollar house converted into a slum where an adult opens the window and urinates onto the roof and throws parties for 400 people? Really. A half-million-dollar house ... you allowed this to be converted into a slum rental while Amherst taxpayers footed the bill for your paycheck?
Disgusting.
Last I looked, none of those people is paid.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the bathroom was full. Seriously though, I sure hope that kid does not have to register as a sex offender.
Actually the Amherst Select Board is paid a whopping $300 per year (nothing extra for being Chair).
ReplyDeleteoooohhh yeah i cant resist those wild gurls either 8=========D
ReplyDeleteI love it when people say that they want less government and that there's too much regulation in Amherst, but somehow find a way to blame government for the misbehavior that goes on on private property in the same town.
ReplyDeleteHello? It's not a police state, bro.
I thought that $300 was for childcare and most did not use it. Guess I was wrong.
ReplyDeleteIf he is convicted of indecent exposure he will indeed need to register as a sex offender.
ReplyDeleteOf course there's a prominent UMASS connection. Tacit approval of the students behavior.
ReplyDeleteAlex,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that the parents are so proud.
On a lighter, more technical note: interesting Moire pattern in your first photo (interference between the periodic brick and camera pixel patterns)!
ReplyDeletelarry, you are a true burden on this community. this town is trying to have a working relationship with its student population and your satirical ramblings only serve to drive the wedge further and further between them. the Umass Student Government Association is drawing up plans to lobby town meeting members for new legislation based on cooperation and compromise. You fail to recognize the need for smart compromise between permanent and temporary residents. Have you ever considered lobbying the school for new student housing developments closer to campus away from residential areas, or tighter restrictions on real estate rental limitations, disallowing real estate companies from taking on residential properties. The town makes thousands each week from students, and yet the only roads that go repaired are the state funded ones throughout the campus. You never mention the police neglect of tailgate drinking and noise, yet you consistently attack and demean student at nighttime. You attended the university, if I am not mistaken, and presumably attended noisy gatherings in your tenure here. Yet you seem to hypocritically cast judgement on these young scholars who, as one student remarked in a local news article, are just trying to "blow off steam after a long week of hard work." The student population deserves to live up to the notions of college life passed throughout society in their entirety. Once these misinformed and amotivated youth start a large initiative against these excessive and hindering practices, you will have little audience to hear your nonsense. Einstein was a dropout, countless writing greats an alcoholic, and the list could go on and on. Substance experimentation is part of growth, whether you agree with it or not. And with it, comes loud expression and noisy gatherings of peers. Please re-evaluate your stance, as this "humorous" banter isn't your strong suit.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
The Student Population of The University of Massachusetts
I guess that make me a Moire Pattern.
ReplyDeleteUMass is currently building 1,500 beds on campus for the Commonwealth Honors College. You know, students who deserve the title "young scholars."
I'm on the Amherst Redevelopment Authority and we TRIED to do a large mixed use development on campus that would have provided additional housing and it was torpedoed by neighbors worried about rowdy student behavior.
I have been shining a light on slumlords for the past year (and making enemies in the process).
Yes, I graduated from UMass/Amherst (back when it was still known as "Zoo Mass") and attended a party or two. But nothing like the Meadow Street Riot of September 9.
I think one of my earlier Anons responding to a previous clueless manifesto like yours said it best:
"We're tired of your shit and we won't take it anymore."
How can someone be charged with indecent exposure for being naked or semi-naked in his own home? Would the police have arrested him if he'd been skinny-dipping in his own pool with some friends?
ReplyDeleteYes, they would.
ReplyDelete"Last I looked, none of those people is paid."
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected. Since no salary is tied to the position, let the squalor spread.
Just who is it that presumes to speak as "The Student Population of the University of Massachusetts"?
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to go through that arrogant student's writing with a red pencil.
Once again, this looks like a spoof.
Between the adolescent "blame the town government" posts of Anon 9:45, and the adolescent "how dare you mess with our fun" posts of The Student Population of the University of Massachusetts, one is forced to ask:
ReplyDeleteWhere are the grown-ups?
Larry, you are a veritable gray eminence in this crowd!
Anon 12:26. Your entire argument is bullshit. Every word of it goes out the window when good, tax paying residents' lives are so deeply disturbed by student partying that there quality of life is heavily and obviously diminished. There is NO acceptable defense for the caliber of partying currently taking place. Richard.
ReplyDeletelarry, you are a large initiative against these young scholars who, as one student population and presumably attended the list could go on this community. this "humorous" banter isn't your strong suit. larry, you agree with its student remarked in their entirety. Once these misinformed and temporary residents. Have you seem to campus away from residential properties. The town is trying to campus away from taking on this "humorous" banter isn't your nonsense. Einstein was a dropout, countless writing greats an alcoholic, and further and further and the police neglect of growth, whether you are a local news article, or a waffle.
ReplyDeleteThat makes about as much sense as the original.
ReplyDeletesome of us obviously don't appreciate brilliant writing..........
ReplyDeleteGotta be an app for that.
ReplyDeleteLike I said: there's some serious spoofing going on.
ReplyDeleteKeep on drivin' that wedge, Larry.
ReplyDeleteThis wedge exists independently of Larry.
ReplyDeleteIt's a profound disconnect between UMass students and the people who live around them.
This one can't be blamed on the blog.
But I appreciate the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteYa know ... some of us ancients, who attended Zoo Mass, went to work after a long week of studying and taking classes. And we partied, just quietly -- too tired to be loud.
ReplyDeleteStudents who study AND work a job as opposed to students who study some and nurse an alcohol problem the rest of the time.......
ReplyDeleteFancy that.
well i guess sometime between 1950 and 2011, someone invented "fun".
ReplyDeleteI posted the original comment inspiring all this rebuttal. It was not a spoof. I understand that you residents have the right to a quiet, peaceful life in this town and I understand that the actions of some students here may encroach upon that. Yet do you think that this behavior will stop because of the coalition of internet commenters that frequents this blog? Or the police handing out noise violations? There are too many students for anyone to successfully control that to an appreciative level. We do work hard here, whether you all believe it or not. There are some brilliant minds at this university who have shared a beer and shouted with the rest of 'em. Some really progressive and interesting ideas are being generated here and the future really does belong to us. (I'm sure that line will draw up some protest.) I, along with some key students here are trying to muster up some motivation from our peers and draw up a resolution that may satisfy the needs and wants of both the permanent and temporary population of this town. We understand your grievances, but you must understand ours. We are the college youth, and we expect to be able to behave in a certain way, with a degree of responsibility and character. Do not generalize us fools or alcoholics or nobodies. We have ambition, we have direction, and we have intelligence. We simply want to test the boundaries of our own existence in the most easily accessible and proven way we know: by getting together and listening to loud music and meeting new friends. We all realize we've been too loud, but no one vests any faith in the theory of corralling us to a designated area and letting us do what we do. You give us the right to vote for leadership, to defend the nation, to drive automobiles, etc., but you do not give us the leeway to get together every few weekends and have a party. These gatherings aren't at the same place every weekend, they move around. So how is it really hurting the residents quality of life. If there was a 1 day construction project next to your bedroom window three times a year, would your quality of life really be hurt in any measurable way. I think not. No need for a red pencil here, folks, I am simply speaking my mind. No arrogance here either, I respect and understand your claims, and I respectfully interject with mine. For the record, I work two jobs during the week after my class schedule, which is six classes, with a double major in political science and communications. My roommate is a double major mechanical engineering and architecture. Another roommate a business major with a special focus in accounting. We all work, we all study, we all produce, we all contribute, and we all party. I welcome any DIRECT rebuttal. And to avoid all this "anon" nonsense, please, call me Brandon.
ReplyDeleteA communication major, eh?
ReplyDeleteWell, when you do manage to "muster up some motivation" from your peers to draw up a "resolution," try using that age old thing called paragraphs.
you're such a coward larry. you attack the most inconsequential things about my argument to generate attention and support for your side. this is war, pal. and I've got 20,000 troops.
ReplyDeleteYou're the Anon "pal".
ReplyDeleteWhat I affectionately refer to as a Cowardly Anon Nitwit.
hey buddy I told you my name in the second part of my rhetoric. you will lose this battle. and you'll be updating only in the republic of amherst on a hospital gurney as you wither away a bitter, cowardly, annoying little man. the only reason I address on here is because know you are too much of a coward of a man to debate people like me face to face. unless you'd like to threaten, harass, or stalk me Larry. Like you did to Councillor Awad. The town is not a fan of yours Larry, and neither are the students. You should be ashamed of your behavior, and your supporters on the insignificant website should follow suit.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.masslive.com/localbuzz/index.ssf/2008/07/amherst_select_board_to_larry.html
lets here your argument for the invasion of Iraq Larry. How about your stance on corporate tax law. How about your position on Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. Im sure whatever your opinions on those platforms are, they would be met with ridicule and disgust, and surely littered with your well known "humuor," which is more like a feeble collection of puns that my great grandfather would call outdated.
I think you've just been roasted Larry. I think you've just been roasted.
PS not sure if you'll post this one, but at least I'll get the satisfaction of getting you to read it.
BRANDON
Branded!
ReplyDeleteMarked with a coward's shame.
What do you do when you're branded,
Will you fight for your...party?
Branded!
Scorned as the one who ran.
What do you do when you're branded,
And you know you're a man?
And wherever you go
for the rest of your life
You must prove ...
You're a man!

ReplyDelete"...and you'll be updating only in the republic of amherst on a hospital gurney" <-- I'm not as smart as Brandon, so please tell me: Is that a threat? If so, is a 209A in order? Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteanon 1:07, you're right, you're not as smart as me. Whoever posted that ridiculous Paul Markham video is an idiot. No that was not a threat, I was simply saying that Larry is going to wither away old and alone while the students laugh and dance up and down Fearing Street. And Larry, I'm not going to give you any more traffic. This will be the last you'll hear of me, on here at least. I leave you to play in the sand with the likeminded fossils that are your dedicated, scorned, desperate for peace and quiet, proud taxpaying residents.
ReplyDeleteBrandon
I see you still have not learned the value of using paragraphs.
ReplyDeleteDon't let the cyber-door hit you in the ass on the way out, BRANDON.
Wow, I've been reading this blog for many years, probably longer than Brandon.....
ReplyDeleteLarry's made his mistakes.
He's gotten things wrong.
Like Brandon, and the rest of us, he has his flaws.
But cowardice seems way, way down the list.
Is the Town better off for him being here? On balance, I'd say "yes".
"anon 1:07, you're right, you're not as smart as me ..." <-- ah, the conceits of youth!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giggle.
I would post argument; but maybe Lary Kaliy atack my gramar or speling? Obviously Larry Kelley is a master at debating- the art of daintily skirting the other point of views' solid arguments.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe not.
