I couldn't comment even after refreshing tens of times, but now that I switched to firefox, (I use both of them) it works prefect.

Hey malymis, I understand your grief when you look at those pictures, and you realize that the Jewish community is expanding, and there are more and more Jews around, well my only solution to you is probably that you should move to Iran or some other terrorist or fascist country. [EDITED BY ADMIN]

It's a Karl Fisher site, he has it on his website.

Good idea I think.

Mr. Brownstoner, you have to do some serious thinking, as it seems you are far off the same page as your readers, see it from the fact that Yassky won in his district on your poll.

Wow, I think it's great, keep up the hard work here, and don't think it's going by unnoticed.

This building has to come down in a few years, cause they don't own the lot, they leased it from the owners, so thats why they made a temporary building, and thats probably why they don't want to invest too much money to cover the exterior.
Not that this will completely satisfy the critics, and I understand them completely, but just to defend them a bit.

Jeremy, I'm a devout reader and commenter on this blog, having expressed my opinion here on many issues, so I will try to give my 2 cents here too.
I don't know about you, but I am a hasidic Jew, -although not associated at all with the group that build (if we can call it so)the synagogue-, so I can tell you when Jews are offended, and when not, you cannot come and tell me if I'm offended by any deed or comment from different person, as long as you have not experienced on your own skin, the feeling of being "different" and a member of a particular minority.
I have been troubled, to say the least, my many comments AND posts on this, and similar blogs, referring with very unkind words and terms towards hasidic Jews, I am NOT accusing our dear author the Hon. Mr. Brownstoner of being an anti-semit, nor some of the commentators, but the lack of sensitivity, is very very obvious on this site.
Let's say. for sake of this debate, that many developers of those all ugly-ass buildings in Brooklyn are Hasidic, so what? out of tens of thousands, there are some who you can probably count with your fingers, that do their business in a way very not appreciated by most people, and I totally understand them, but they are a few, their may be a lot of projects, but most are from the same developers, this does not give a reasonable excuse to mention Hasidic Jews in such negative terms, and certainly not all hasidic developers.
Some of the most beautiful projects in Brooklyn are developed by Hasidim too, The Gretch, 55 Berry, Pacific Blue, the toy factory lofts, the chocolate factory lofts, to name just a few, so my main point is, Don't blame all apples, because you have a few rotten ones.
And to Mr. Brownstoner, sorry if I come out here as being harsh on you, I love your work, and appreciate your much time and energy devoted to this site,-one of the first sites that I have to read each morning- it,s just one place where I think there is a lot of room for improvement.

272 Berry looked like a bargain, until I checked and saw that the size lot is just 16x50, well, this price will probably have to come down, although the pics of the interior are very appealing.
