I disagree - 1. I'm not from Ohio - born and raised in southern Europe. 2. You really should get back work and stop criticising signage in Park Slope; Get a life.

I disagree - Sorry but all of BK is not going to look like Smith Street or 5th Ave. Get over it or just move to Manhattan.

It's a great sign. Sorry it doesn't fit with your mallification of Brooklyn. Yeah, it's tacky - but I've seen much much worse.

My experience was awesome them. Get an estimate. A lot of my friends/neighbors have used them and I've heard nothing but good things.

I lived on State Street for years and it is Boerum Hill. Sure, it's the dividing line between downtown BK and BH, but TRUST me, State Street is NOT Fulton Mall. It's Boerum Hill and a very lovely street. I miss living there.

My neighbors used Verazanno to redo their floors and they are BEAUTIFUL. They are fairly priced and very pleasant to work with.

Bowl of Dicks,

Totally agree.

Yes, do go and see for yourself. It is a darling neighborhood - very clean, beautiful architecture, cute shops, cafes, etc...Go see for yourself. The movie theater is great too - $6 movies on Tuesday and Thursdays.

Cobble Hill is gorgeous - just a tad boring.

I know it was a harsh description but it's pretty true. It's not a neighborhood you want to live in if you aren't late 30's with kids...Not too much going on other than wine bars. I know - I lived in Boerum Hill forever and left recently for the reasons above.

Pretty, safe, clean near good trains...Can be boring unless you are in late 30's with a family. It's for whites with strollers who frequent wine bars.

All of you have waaay too much time on your hands. Who cares if they are ugly - um, you don't live there. Get over it. There will be bad architecture - fedders ac units, etc...I can't believe the rants you get into over them.

I live in this building too and must say it's THE BEST deal in Brooklyn! Bushwick rocks!

Blackstoner - if you don't like the Payless, Target, etc...in Flatbush then simply stay in your yuppie favorite areas of Carroll Gardens and Park Slope. You can buy your American Apparel tee stroll around Smith Street and feel great about not shopping in a "ghetto establishment".

Yes, I do believe nice construction can exist in low to moderate income neighborhoods. The post made me angry because the term "future crack house" was used to describe what may occur if these homes did not sell. Do you REALLY think if this construction was in Park Slope and wasn't selling that Brownstoner would ever think to call it a future crack house?

I don't think so...

"Crack houses only move into neighborhoods that allow them."

Um, okay Charles Bronson...

Posted by: Nanook at July 18, 2008 1:14 PM in response to Who's Gonna Buy This Stuff Now?

Thanks Bill, but please know I am not a sensitive weirdo who is easily offended. I read the post and thought if these homes were in nicer neighborhoods, the term future crack houses would never even come up. Yeah, they are very ugly and then one in Bushwick is (unfortunately) on my street. I walk by and frown when I see the tacky construction, but I'd never associated crack with it. Yes, it was a joke, but I didn't laugh.

Posted by: Nanook at July 18, 2008 12:10 PM in response to Who's Gonna Buy This Stuff Now?

It's offensive - plain and simple and I'm voicing it. I'm over it now...

Posted by: Nanook at July 18, 2008 11:45 AM in response to Who's Gonna Buy This Stuff Now?

I understand the market has tanked, but as a homeowner in Bushwick I am truly offended by your term upscale "crack houses". Sorry the homes you picked out are in low to moderate income neighborhoods: Crown Heights, Bed-Stuy and the Wick but contrary to what you think we don't have people squatting and smoking crack in homes that are being constructed. I know these neighborhoods are shocking for your white laced eyes, but please note, we can't all afford to live in your white over priced yuppie neighborhoods: Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, Park Slope, etc...You should be more responsible with your words.
