 Claude VonStroke, beloved chief of the Dirtybird clan, has put his sleek and custom Rolls Royce up for sale on Craigslist.
The car is a 1980 Rolls Royce Corniche, fitted with a custom JL Audio speaker system emblazoned with the Dirtybird logo. In true Hollywood style, it was also featured in Cam & China's 'The Baddest' music video. Marked as "excellent condition" and with only 61,000 miles on it (plus bragging rights about its previous owner), those considering adding the Rolls Royce to their garage will need to be ready to set aside a lofty $70,000.

 Halsey established herself as one of pop's premier young voices in the early ‘10s, when she posted confessional originals and cheeky covers online. Early singles like the spectral, searching “Ghost” and the generational rallying cry “New Americana” combined left-field pop explorations with forthright lyrics, attracting a passionate fanbase. Her cameo on The Chainsmokers' 2016 breakup chronicle “Closer” turned her into pop royalty; she's dug deeper into music's vast territory since, dueting with Fifth Harmony's Lauren Jauregui on the sumptuous synth-pop lament “Strangers” and pairing sunny soul with self-laceration on “Alone.” [MORE] |

 This week, the state changed a rule that will affect how homeless New Yorkers are able to transition into permanent housing.
Following state law, the city will now require individuals sleeping in homeless shelters to save about 30 percent of their income for future permanent housing, the New York Daily News first reported. The funds will be placed in a savings account maintained by the city and can be accessed, with interest, once individuals find permanent housing or are transitioning out of a shelter.
Municipalities are required to charge homeless individuals for rent to stay in shelters under New York state law—except for New York City, which became exempt from that law in 2010. The problem is that the city’s exemption was done “in a way in which really important tools were not provided to help people get back on their feet,” Steven Banks, commissioner of the city’s Department of Social Services, told the Daily News.
The requirement for savings was included in the 2018 state budget in a deal to continue with the city’s exemption. [MORE] |

 Cryptocurrencies are a religion as much as they are a technology. They almost have to be, given their adherents’ gargantuan ambition of fundamentally changing how the world works. This means they attract charlatans, lunatics, frauds, and false prophets, and furious battles are waged over doctrinal hairspliitting; but it also means they inspire intransigent beliefs which can, and do, unify many thousands of wildly different people across continents and time zones.

 An unregulated Mount Eden building will be the first nonprofit-acquired property to have its affordability maintained through the de Blasio administration’s Neighborhood Pillars Program.
The Bronx property, at 1415-1417 Wythe Place, was acquired by affordable housing developer Settlement Housing Fund with plans to pursue upgrades for the building and maintain affordable rents for all 58 apartments. The project is one of the first in the city’s Neighborhood Pillars Program pipeline—an effort run by the city’s Department of Housing and Preservation (HPD)—that provides low-interest loans and tax exemptions to nonprofit and for-profit developers to purchase and maintain a property’s affordability.

 This human-led curation is different from how Netflix typically makes its recommendations. The streaming service is famous for its advanced categorization system, where there are hundreds of niche categories that go beyond broad groupings like “Action,” “Drama,” “Sci-Fi,” “Romance” and the like. These narrower subcategories allow the streamer to make more specific and targeted recommendations.
Netflix also tracks titles that are popular and trending across its service, so you can check in on what everyone else is watching, as well.
The new Collections feature was first spotted by Jeff Higgins, who tweeted some screenshots of the addition.
If you’ve been opted in to the test, the Collections option is available at the top right of the app’s homepage — where My List would have been otherwise. [MORE] |

 The Great Jones Cafe was once a no-frills, slightly grungy Noho classic, serving up affordable, cult-favorite Cajun eats to the Bowery’s punks and artists since the 1980s. So when it shuttered last year after the death of owner Jim Moffett, locals mourned the loss of a true downtown icon.
But it’s back, and like the city itself, it’s both changed and stayed the same.
Now dubbed simply “The Jones,” a common nickname given to it by regulars, the space boasts the same orange and blue facade as always, black letters spelling out “JONES,” same neon EAT sign and Elvis bust in the window. [MORE] |

 Tech firms are expanding their grasp on Manhattan’s commercial real estate market, with this year’s leasing activity already outpacing its 2018 numbers. According to commercial real estate services and investment firm CBRE, the industry’s leasing activity accounted for 15 percent of the nearly 15 million square feet of office leases signed in Manhattan during the first half of the year, up from 10 percent in all of last year.
Commercial leasing group Cushman and Wakefield found a similar trend, citing that TAMI industries (that’s tech, advertising, media, and information) leased 74.3 percent more space in Manhattan by the end of the second quarter of 2019 than compared to the same time last year. [MORE] |

 The well-documented softening of New York’s luxury market has led many sellers of high-priced properties to slash asking prices—and even beloved, Academy Award-winning actors aren’t immune.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Meryl Streep, actual celebrity royalty, has re-listed her stunning Tribeca penthouse, which first hit the market last summer. When it initially listed, the four-bedroom apartment at the River Lofts condo was asking $24.6 million; now, the price has dropped to $18.25 million. The Oscar-winning actress also switched brokerages, from Douglas Elliman to Sotheby’s International Realty. [MORE] |

You’re not alone: Even though it may seem like there’s an exodus of New Yorkers to places like Los Angeles (or, heck, even upstate), the city’s population continues to grow. Between 2010 and 2017, it jumped by 5.5 percent, an unprecedented rate of growth that’s taken the city’s total population to 8.6 million. [MORE] |
