um..not sure if it was mentioned or not, but a bike lane with a sewer grate right in the middle = accident (and lawsuit??) waiting to happen, no? at the very least a trashed set of rims...

Interesting perspectives but I don't think they differ much from the norm - especially from a competition POV as an earlier commenter noted. I think 4th Avenue needs to change a bit more for Le Blue to get (and stay) in the black. I do, however, find appeal in the roof bar and restaurant that they have in the works. To, me, this is the key. Pack a bar and nice restaurant scene into a hotel and it should work - who needs low vacancy rates!?! Again, cab parking lots and car washes need to die a painful death first. I'm sure at some point I'll consider suggesting a guest stay there for the sake of conveniency and staying close to my rental in PS. Pulling the trigger on that decision I can't guarantee

Not the biggest fan of dark tiles since they mask dirt and mildew but I do love the detail. Question - do you start from the center and work your way outward of vice versa?

I think the lack of interest in new development might be the realization that some new developments were thrown up quickly resulting in less than desirable workmanship. I think there is an attractiveness regarding residences built because someone had an earnest interest in a lifetime of equity and not just the cash from a quick sale to first time home buyers. However, getting into the market for some supercedes all else - even shoddy craftsmanship. (is that an oxymoron??)

...and besides, the URL is linked to a profile that first has to be accessed by other readers.

As a daily reader I find it rather interesting to know what other commenters/readers have going on. Perhaps they have started writing about a related (or even unrelated!) topic like green building or floral design on Long Island or a distant neighborhood and provide a unique perspective. To me, it fits with the viral nature of the internet. The last you'll hear o f me on this thread.

Easy Guests 2:11 and 2:38...breathe....not a spammer folks. true fan of Mr. B's work. And given the content and updates of my blog I really don't 'care' for traffic - if people find some of the content interesting (how I cope with planning my Fall 2008 wedding) then that's cool. If not, close the page. Isn't that how they all work?

Posted by: HerWayOrTheHighway at August 31, 2007 9:20 AM in response to Inside Third & Bond: Week 3

Mr. B, why not include URL as part of commenter's profile like your "old" comment formatting? Random traffic to my blog, however infrequent, can only be a good thing, no?

I did that - renovated a farmhouse in chatham we bought for 175k and turned a 200k profit (or at least cash in hand) which we used for a deposit for a house here in bkln - unfortunately at very peak of market.

I highly recommend this system however, since you get two houses for price of one if you have a decent price on a rental here in NYC and if you buy here you may never be able to afford a second home.
