A True Gut Renovation in Clinton Hill
A certain celebrity neighbor of ours is taking his demolition pretty seriously. He must have quite an entourage of workers gutting the place!

If I were a movie star who could pick chicks up and lay pipe at the drop of a hat, I would definitely prefer to live in Soho or the Village. Don’t even try to argue that chicks in Brooklyn compare to chicks in downtown Manhattan. There’s no comparison. Never was. Never will be.
Brooklyn’s great for families or couples looking for space, but not for players. Anyone who says otherwise has a serious fat fetish.
its public record where vince and his mom bought there home just as it is public record for anybody else who buys a home or a property in brooklyn or nyc, you just have to know how to access the records through nyc.gov. And these records should be public, if my real estate information is available to everyone, it shouldn’t matter that no one cares about it, vince’s info should be just as public. fu#@! vince if he wants special security, get the hell out of Brooklyn. Speaking of Jennifer Connelly or Heath Ledger, they moved in right at the top of my block, Carroll Street, into a house that required no rennovations or improvements with a wonderful Prospect Park view. buying a home in mint condition hasn’t stopped its value from going through the roof.
y’ala

Maybe he doesn’t like Manhattan? Maybe he likes living in Brooklyn on a nice block (with its problems, sure, but it’s not like his house is in the lobby of the troubled buildings on the corner) with a variety of people including newcoming yuppies, struggling families and hangers-out? Maybe he likes a street where kids can play on the sidewalk? Where he’ll be able to have a lot of room and a real back yard and a driveway to park his car? In a real neighborhood?
I have lived in the Village (Horatio and Washington; 7th Ave. South; 10th St. between 5th and 6th Aves.) and I’ve lived in Park Slope (Garfield Pl.; 11th St.) and I’ve lived in Clinton Hill, a block from the house in question and there’s no doubt that I like this place the best. Maybe I’m not the only one?
If he does flip the house, I hope he sells it to someone who really wants to live there.
He probably said, “Hey, mom. Wanna invest some of my money?”
She probably answered, “Sure, the real estate market is super hot in Brooklyn. I’ll buy an old house for you, renovate it, and sell it. We’ll both make money.”
He probably replied, “Thanks, mom. You’re so smart.”
It’s all about the mother. He’s helping her make some money.
Most likely his mother is in charge of the renovation and it’ll be flipped when it’s finished. My bet is he won’t sleep there a single night.

If it’s any consolation, B’stoner, I’ve noticed that the comments are getting less civil and less relevant to the post at hand on other popular blogs as well. So don’t take it too personally (if you were, that is).
if we just ignore them, maybe they’ll go away.
