Clarke says,
Recently on my blog, I put up an image of a mysterious flyer being
posted in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (where, in recent years, community
activists have fought real estate developers' plans to build luxury
high-rises, and the city's plans to site trash facilities and power
plants on the waterfront).
The flyer is a masterful parody of all this. It reads:
"WILLIAMSBURG DOESN'T NEED A SPACE ELEVATOR! The Space Elevator
Will Mean: Less Parking, Weird Ribbon Thing, Constant Loud Whirring
Noise, Increased Space Elevator Truck Traffic. Developers have
submitted plans to build a massive space elevator in Williamsburg!
This monstrosity, completely out of context with existing development
in the neighborhood, will be accessible only to the wealthy, forcing
thousands of average Williamsburgers from their homes and live-work
spaces! Jobs the elevator will generate (operators, repairmen,
astronauts) are certain to go to non-residents! Don't sit idly by and
let this elevator cast its impossibly long, cold, and very narrow
shadow over our homes! CALL 311 AND TELL THEM 'I JUST DON'T NEED THIS
SPACE ELEVATOR!'"
The flyer is credited to F.E.T.S.E.o.t.N (Fight Extremely Tall Space
Elevators on the Northside), and includes the URL of an
anti-space-elevator-in-Williamsburg Yahoo group.
Link. See also this proposed NYC rezoning plan, which includes a
number of proposed 8-35 story luxury complexes in a currently
working-class neighborhood with an average building height of 3
stories.
Link. While this flyer is most certainly a joke, space
elevators are not -- at least for some.

little as $7 a month and be folded into the cost of rent. Half the

Apartment Building Offers Free But Not
Permitted Wi-Fi to Residents
05/19/2004 01:26 PMAn apartment resident worked with his landlord to build out good Wi-Fi
coverage for free Internet access--but did he read the Comcast
contract?: The page documents how "JC" worked with his landlord to
build out ubiquitous coverage for the complex, incidentally
benefitting himself by eliminating his personal monthly broadband
bill. But he notes they're paying $60 per month to Comcast for their
Internet feed, and at that rate, Comcast isn't offering shared
Internet access in this fashion. Comcast clearly only allows use by
people in the same household, and used to charge extra per machine and
try to restrict sharing by locking down use to a single Ethernet
adapter address. Given the promotion that JC's story has gotten, how
long is it before either Comcast shuts them down or Speakeasy Networks
steps in and offers free access in exchange for promotion? Speakeasy
remains the only ISP that I'm aware of that encourages the shared use
of personal or business DSL and T1 connections at all prices. [link
