I like living here, although I hated it when I moved in. I totally agree the buildings are massive and ugly, they look like projects to me, terrible design, but they do try with plants and trees, and even lawns and benches and it's actually quite pleasant to sit outside.
Service people are great, I find, although I was a bit nonplussed when they called me by my first name -- not the way it is on the Esat Side where I grew up in white gloved buildings, but actually, it makes me feel young (which I am not).
Pet peeves: the maintenance, outrageously high compared to other coops, fromwhat comparisons I've done and it might yet force me out.
Second peeve of course, the insanely long time it is taking to work out the terrace problem. Every morning at 8am 3 workmen land on the terrace outside my window, blare the radio, talk, while I struggle to get dressed inconspicuously (I used to have the blinds open).
Don't know about other peoples' experience with neighbors, it probably differs from floor to floor. Mine are pretty remote, not unfriendly, but remote.
I have been here 10 years, never attended a membership meeting, my life busy enough, and I guess I don't care enough, but if I can answer any questions, I will be happy to try.

The service people call you by your first name and this is a problem?-- it is your name isn't it? Fortunately there isn't a defined caste system in this city-- yet it seems you would prefer one?! Maybe move to the Lincoln Towers equivalent in India.
whoever you are above...u r just an ass....i guess when you are anonymous you can say whatever you like huh ??? big shot !
There seems to be quite a bit of animosity in Lincoln towers. Maybe we all need to take a big breath and not be so hard on each other. It's only a sign that you are hard on yourself, which is sad. Perhaps we should have a big primal scream and then just chill.
I might be purchasing a place in Lincoln Towers, however I have a fear there the apt will not appreciate in the future years. However the size of the apartments are great. What do you think? Mait is high, does it always go up? Are the people wo live in the buliding diverse, by age? I fear that it will not be a good investment because of the outside structure.
???HELP???
I am debating if I should buy a place in Lincon Towers?
Is it like the projects? I love the apt, I am afraid it will not appreciate in the near future?
HELP
