“totally valid question from someone who very well may be a potential buyer.’
Not to mention the fact that Brooklynishome says they live in Prospect Heights (not Williamsburg) on their profile, and seems to have a history of really level-headed comments.
Actually the question asked about the demographics of the building.
Having lived in a building with mostly older folks – I can tell you it’s no fun for a young person. If someone doesn’t recycle their soy milk – guess who gets blamed? The kid with the ‘saggy trousers’
yeah, also noise complaints while out of the country for 2 weeks.
totally valid question from someone who very well may be a potential buyer.
The housing market has bottomed… And if you are scared to jump in.. Just hedge it…. When I purchase my overpriced home in either HOboken or BH I will be buying some SRS… Just in case the housing market tanks again… Not a play for everyone… Those who are waiting for better prices have to realize dollars are being printed and the gov is purposely hurting the dollar.. Sure you may be lucky to get a great price on a foreclosure but you better be a cash buyer..
Those tributes weren’t demanded by the government and in fact are an expression of the pride and hope a lot of minority kids got from seeing the first Black president elected. In fact lots of us adults did too. Honestly, only a right wing spinmeister would try to make it into an indictment of Obama or a sinister plot to destroy democracy. (You can probably order your tin hat online.)

They did the same thing with Bush bxgrl. My argument is that they’re EQUALLY as bad. Please don’t rush to judgemnt…
The question asked implied that Brooklyn Heights is just full of old people, which you know gets him all riled up. That and people riding bicycles. And anything said by 11217.
Such disdain for public housing. There are some very architecturally distinguished housing projects in NYC, which lead the way in creating solid, healthful housing for the underpriviled. No need to be so snooty about “public housing being crap” that’s just know-nothing talk.

Yeah, when I was growing up I was SOOOO jealous of all my friends that lived in the Sheepshead projects. I mean, I NEVER got to hear gunshots and see crack being sold like they did. Lucky…

Unlike Minard/Sam.
haha Legion!
Didn’t want to go there – but thanks!
dirty hipster,
…and the smell of ben-gay (no homo) wafting through the hallways at all hours.
bxgrl,
you have to admit, NJ and VA are stinging rebukes of Obama’s economic program to date.
