Need Advice on a Plumber
With an influx of new tall buildings to the neighborhood and more tenants in our 4 story brownstone our water pressure has dropped considerably. As in you flush on the first floor and there's no water anyplace else in the building.
A plumber came and checked out the line from the water main in the street to the building and found that it was much too small, only 1 inch across.
Has anyone had a main line replaced? Do you have suggestions on a plumber to do this type of job? Please post or email me at smalliegirl (at) gmail. Thanks!

That is right down the block from this fixer:

Also a two family, but with a storefront and for under 300k! Any takers?

That's the same sign as the ones in the passage between the A,C,E and the rest of Times Square. Maybe the tenant is always there instead of at home surrounded by nothing.

There were men present as well as men and women of color. Yes, the majority were white women, like the organizer, but as it's been noted the way she organized probably got a whiter, younger demographic in the first place.
The people I seeded with were all local residents, most having lived in Bed Stuy a few years and two were also members of community gardens. As a gardener myself, I do recognize that there are infinitely better ways to plant seeds and take care of them, but that is not the ultimate point.
Also, everyone we ran into was positive about the project. One woman thanked us and another asked about how to grow flowers in her backyard. I think getting people talking with each other could be the ultimate goal and in that case it succeeded.
