‘If I did, I would be in one of those two homes as we speak posting on Villagestoner.com’
Not Villageidiot.com?
🙂
As someone who moved to Jersey City because I was priced out of the single family townhouse market in Brooklyn I’d have to say Brooklyn. I like the feeling of leaving Manhattan at the end of the day and coming home to peace and quiet to decompress. Give me a home on a quiet block in PS and I’d be a super happy camper.
Ever take a cab ride through those quiet blocks in the village at night? Cabbies honking, revelers spilling out of bars to have smokes and stumble home. I like my city to sleep sometimes.
That said, I’d be hard pressed to turn my nose up at this W. Village cobblestone street beauty:

“Hey Biff…do you have $24,895,000 I can borrow?”
If I did, I would be in one of those two homes as we speak posting on Villagestoner.com
I am not a member of the rarified, elitist, closed to the real world Park Slope Food Co-op. Nor do I wish to become a member of any Communist organization that forces its member to work manual labor.
DIBS: Many New Yorkers think of food as an “enemy” contaminated with all sorts of pollutants in and of itself, let alone what it could come in contact with by virtue of touching items you just *handled.*
But we can’t throw stones at Manhattanites on this score–to wit: the glass house of the Park Slope Food Co-op.
Hey Biff…do you have $24,895,000 I can borrow?
I’ll pay you back…IOU.
Those are hot!!!!
Location can’t be beat.
DIBS, I was just kidding. I know you’re not expecting prices to fall as drastically as that. As for the two properties I posted, I also far prefer the more traditional one, but wouldn’t complain if I was forced to live in the modern one, track lighting and all.
By the way, this might be the first time we can apply the term “intellectual exercise” to a topic in the Open Thread.
Hmmm. First off, I LOVE Brooklyn. I feel like most of Manhattan lacks the true neighborhood feel that you get in Brooklyn and that’s what keeps me here. I actually can’t imagine living anywhere other than Greenwood Heights. It feels like home to me. But, if it came down to cheaper rent available and convenience (show me a true one bedroom apt. with a full eat in kitchen and large bedroom with no real shared walls), if I could get it in Harlem, that’s where I’d go. The other boroughs don’t even exist in my mind (hope that statement doesn’t start a war) so I wouldn’t consider them.
That’s a good point, dittoburg. He’ll get PWNED there and someone will take a baseball bat to his head.
