I live down the street from this building and I thought it was a Pratt 'thing'...i just think that it is out of line with the neighborhood...but then again I am not sure anyone in the neighborhood is expected to by such a place. As far as transportation I don't think it is anymore difficult then living in DUMBO, CGarden, or some other areas of brwnstone brooklyn. The transportation has not stopped folks from moving into the neighborhood and the 38 bus seems to be doing brisk business as the locals make their way to the Q,N,R,W or the 4,5,2,3 train lines.

Wow!!! nyguy were do I fit in as an asian cat who recently 'won' an affordable housing lottery in Clinton Hill? Oh...I get it, you probably don't mind living next to me because I am a 'good' minority as opposed to the blacks and latinos who are looking for affordable housing to raise their families like everyone else in the city. Here's hoping my bi-racial babies don't catch your kids 'cooties' in the 'sandbox of life'.

Wow!!! Those poor lawyers...I suspect at this rate they will have to start considering supporting their families through food stamps and family recycling ventures (I can see it now instead of composting on saturday morning lawyers will roam bklyn looking for old radiators to hawk) by the end of the decade. Or (gasp) consider sending their children to parochial/religious based private schools.

And they wonder why their children seem to go in a tailspin when confronted with life in college....
