If you buy the Remsen Street house, can I move in. I want to be close to the ‘promenade’. I hear that’s the best block to live on in BH.
Oh, and I’ll need to change that kitchen. Horrible granite counter top and backsplash!
And that bathroom. I really don’t like 12×12 marble tiles esp. in beige. Very 80’s.
It seems though that there is no respect given for differing opinions and that disturbs me. But, yes, we all have our warts 🙂 But I must say about Haiti, did the US govt. give a crap about them when they were coming over here in droves on makeshift rafts and inner tubes? Nope. We turned them around and pointed them back home and told ’em no to let the door hit ’em where the Good Lord split ’em. To pretend to care now is disingenuous in my opinion.
“I don’t think there is, or should be, a group think path on Brownstoner, we are all still as varied and opinionated as ever, and even opinions I find frustratingly wrong are as valid as those I agree with. It would be no fun or not even interesting to be here, if we all agreed all the time.”
That’s all I’m saying, MM, though I think you were more articulate.
And, BTW, I’ll still love you just as much even after bxgrl divorces me. (Just remember, it was she, NOT I, who said you had to live in the garage at the Gingerbread House.)
I actually agree with many of your sentiments regarding Katrina/Haiti, although I think we (the US gov’t) should help nonetheless, because it’s the right thing to do. Death and destruction is death and destruction, and can’t be quantified, we should help.

That doesn’t mean everything anyone says is cool. I find it admirable that the comments of Prop Joe were so disliked and rejected by everyone, even those who disagree on everything else. He would have been forgiven and accepted, or at least answered civilly had he changed his tune. I have no problem with groupthink in a situation like that.
AGhhh, was going to be short. We’re still PLUSA’s warts and all.

Remsen street is a lot more classy. That dining room is great.

CGar, there is still hope for you. Fights are not forever.
Snappy, it’s not that bad. Really.

Expert…JINX!
LOL…if that house is a Greenwood Heights fully detached frame house, bring it on!
“Snappy, you better shut up before someone drops a house on you too.”
she wishes, and that it was in Greenwood heights with contemporary finishes.
