  1. As a point of comparison, someone is trying to rent a 2 bedroom duplex in Carroll Gardens for $3K on the bococa listserve right now. Believe me, I am a fan of Bed Stuy — if we buy that’d probably be where — but that makes some of those rents seem a bit high.

  2. “Yes, but you would have to compare based on just market rate renters’ incomes and unregulated rents to make the comparison.”

    Yeah – I realized that as I posted it. Rent regulation is evil and communist

  3. This is all very interesting. Good point about the median income and rents not holding up. We’re moving from Bushwick L train to Bedstuy JMZ train soon. The groceries near us are quite good, but we’ll probably still have to shop outside the area for meat and 100 percent whole grain bread — as we have everywhere we’ve lived in NYC, including Carroll Gardens. I swear, you can fall into anyplace for a drink or designer clothing, but running a simple errand is a massive undertaking.
