I will go on record and say that the 2nd st house is definitely not in the better part of CG - east of Hoyt, more Gowanus than CG, and not one of the deep-fronted garden blocks. North of $1M for that tiny place is astounding.

I believe that they're making the move in part to put their little tyke into St. Ann's - I happened to be on a parent's tour of the school last year with Mr. Barney and the orange kimono clad Ms. Gudmundsdottir

I get so tired of the incessant ragging on NIMBY's. C'mon, face it, EVERYBODY's a NIMBY! No one wants certain uses or functions built next to their residence (houses of detention, environmentally-damaging facilities, Starbucks - I could go on).

The first step in any recovery requires an admission of the problem

judging by how slowly work has been proceeding on this building, I'm guessing that the fix is already in for Mr. Stein. If he were really worried about losing height/floor area, he would have been working like mad to get his foundations completed
