makes the one bedroom in the Art Deco building in WT a couple weeks ago look pretty good...bidding wars to live across from Prospect Park...seems smart to me.

Who knew a 2mill house in BH could look just as uninspired and crappy as most houses in W'burg?!

the crappy ones in W'burg dont have cornices.

Crazy somebody paid all that money for a woodframe on Bergen Street.
Then again, if there's a big earthquake, all their neighbors in brick houses will die and they'll likely survive.
Believe it or not, NYC is on a major fault line. It would really suck if the big one hit.

Thata way,
That's what George Bush used to say about Bin Laden.
The truth may be painful, but it's better to face it than ignore it.

I love that Boerum Hill federal. A house does not have to be made of brick and covered in brownstone to have character.

The Boerum Hill house is really gorgeous in person.

That away,
I live in and own a brick house in NYC. I'm just making a point that wood houses generally survive earthquakes better than brick ones.
I'm not espousing any evacuations.
Chill, dude. . .

This coop is the size of a 1BR.
Sold for a Park Slope price even though it is in Windsor Terrace but it is across from the park.
Sweet deal!

I thought the Boerum Hill house was fine -- definitely move-in condition -- but surprised it went for so much. There's a first floor extension, and it's 22 feet wide, but the top 2 floors are fairly short (I think less than 40' long) so the total square feet wasn't huge. Also, really disliked the tenant apartment and didn't think it would rent for alot, but maybe people don't care about that. Also, that block of Bergen is not as attractive as typical Boerum Hill/Cobble Hill blocks, and it's not even zoned for ps 29 I think.

Even if you lived in a wood frame house, life as you know it in NYC would be altered forever anyway, if an earthquake hit. The other, more likely danger is a major hurricane hitting NYC. It's just like how S.F. and L.A. always have the looming threat of "the big one". It's there, you're aware of it. But you can do nothing about it but go on with your normal everyday life. However it does remind us all to keep a certain amount of cash, water and food in our houses at all times. Something more difficult for space-challenged New Yorkers to do, than for Californians with garages and big closets.

By the way the wood houses on Bergen are actually brick with wood siding over the brick.
