Biff at 10:00…you said “all other things being equal” or something of that sort…or rent free or something. Like I said, there are many people on here (mostly Team Bear) who have no grasp on reality. But for just this one day, on just this one thread, I will abdicate to Team Bear for this purely intellectual excercise.
I much prefer the second one Biff. I’m a tradional sort of guy. I will wait until they reach the “all other things being equal” price equivalent to a Brooklyn townhouse price of, say, $1.5-2.0 MM.
The people of Harlem don’t want an asshat newcomer what who grew up in Brooklyn moving there. Cos only the people who were born in the neighborhood are alllowed to live there right?
dylanfan…the most neurotic thing I always encountered with people in Manhattan is when they always had to make sure the divider bar was there to put down in the supermarket checkout line. They were paranoid in some way that any of your food might touch theirs!!!!
It’s relative, I guess. I loved on the UWS for ten years, barely knew the eight people in my brownstone, let alone anyone outside of it, with the exception of the man who supered the large building on the corner of West End Avenue and my block. HE was friendly to everyone and thought New Yorkers were crazy with the privacy thing. He said people would give him a How-dare-you look when he greeted them.
UWS, the Village, Soho: like living in the parking lot of Woodbury Commons!
DeLepp….yes, the quiet and the trees are great here but can be found on some (very few) streets in Manhattan…smaller streets in West Village and the east 60s aren’t too bad as long as your not on a street that leads to/from the 59th street bridge. I’m waiting for the prices of those townhouses to come down to $1-3 MM Brooklyn level from $15-50MM. Just call me the Miss Muffett of Manhattan!!!!

DIBS, looking for a $1-3MM townhouse on the UES. Maybe we should change your name to DAVEINBEDSTUYROCKS!

I would choose exactly what BRG chose; a townhouse in a quiet street in Greenwich Village. Either one of these would work!

hmm interesting about BH. I live in Park Slope and have to say – people on my block are great and really friendly.
