The Brooklyn Paper reports new developments in the Norah Jones’ great window scandal of 2009. First, it turns out that the famous singer’s designer originally applied to punch three new windows in the brick side wall but that it was Jones herself who pushed to modify the Landmarks application to add a total of ten windows. Second, the Cobble Hill Association, which has been up in arms over the LPC’s approval of the request since it was made public, has counted up the number of similar houses with windowless side walls that it says are all vulnerable if the Jones precedent is allowed to stand. The tally? 70.

I’m sure these numbers would fall should the residents around the world hear of this plight.
Oops, sorry, I just noticed that the good doctor switched to speaking in the first person. Please carry on…
Does the good doctor always speak in the third person?

The good doctor had a typo and reposts.
The good doctor has considered the question at hand and offers his diangosis. Sunshine is the best disenfectant. Let the sunshine in and let us remember that property rights are paramount especially in comparison to the fetishistic worries of fascistic pusillanimous pussyfooters who have no concept of the sanctity of contracts. Ms. Jones shall be the Queen of her domain and shall be allowed to install as many windows as she sees fit. My only fear is having to hear her drivel when I set forth into the marketplace.
If the residents don’t like the windows, they can always egg them. There’s already president for allowable egg-throwing.
Did she get approval by boring the LPC to tears with her music and telling them she would only stop playing if they voted in favor? Just thinking about her Starbucks soundtrack elevator music makes me want to go take a nap.

I’m immensely bored by the continued coverage of this ‘story’.
