I don't think that's a bad price to rent a place like that, my hunch is that there just aren't a lot of people looking rent something at that price in this neighborhood, whether or not it's a good deal for the space.

I doubt this study will change people's views very much. I think they care more about the quality of life stuff than the price impact anyway.

Man I love those two houses. Isn't that white one where the Halloween show is?

As crime continues to rise, I'm pretty sure people will be willing to put up with floodlights if it means not getting mugged!

They'll get there, it'll just take some more price cuts. I can't believe that the second oro's going to see the light of day though.

this affects anyone who wants to sell their place for more than about $800,000.

These developers hired Scarano almost exclusively based on his ability to squeeze more square footage past DOB, and then they sue him. I'm not buying it.

Interesting. I agree that people aren't willing to pay much of a premium for green but that all else being equal they would prefer. that could be enough to make a difference in a crappy market. please show us photos when this project is done, lisa!

I ate here once in the wintertime a couple of years ago and remember it being very good comfort food on a cold night. I wonder how it works in the warmer months.
There's a house up the block from here that has the coolest little one-room cottage in it.

So how long does it actually take? Anyone gotten one recently? can an invidual request one or just a business?

I had a good schnitzel there this summer--and a nice cold tap-drawn beer. it was exactly what the doctor ordered. i did notice there weren't a lot of other people in the restaurant though.
hah!

"Huh" is right. I'm no market bear but saying NYC is UNDERvalued right now is nuts.

I walked by this place the other day and, from wat i could see in the windows, it's going to need a lot of work. Price too high.

I wonder what Whole Foods' carrying costs are for that site. Anyone have a ballpark guess about their monthly burn rate?

Wow, I think that $2.5 for that Slope house was a good deal. It's beautiful and in a great location.

I just had the goat there and loved it. It was my first time but I'd definitely go back.
ooooh, this should be good. the only downside is that Brownstoner will never be able to eat in this town again!
