While we detect a slight case of schadenfreude from the LA Times in today’s article about bedbugs in New York City, it does mention a Heights resident:
LA Times: It’s Hard to Sleep Tight in New York: When Bonnie Friedman first heard about New York’s burgeoning bedbug problem, she felt lucky to live in an upscale neighborhood.”I remember thinking, ‘I’m so glad I live in Brooklyn Heights. I will never get a bedbug,’ ” Friedman said. Her first bite came a few weeks later.
And as many others have learned, getting rid of the tiny intruders is often a months-long odyssey that requires equal parts detective work, obsessive-compulsive cleaning strategies and emotional healing.“People in New York are used to cockroaches, where you have the exterminator come once but it doesn’t lay siege to your life,” said Friedman, a professor at New York University. “This does. Having them turns your life upside down.”
