“the elder sweeping her stoop and offering a good morning; the doorman greeting a passing dog walker; the shopkeeper hosing his vegetables and chatting up the neighborhood kids.”
What is the MAJOR difference between these three people and a doorman? You don’t see this?
NOP, yes, I totally agree with you about that neighborhood feel. That said, you pay dearly in your Park Ave Coop for the monthly CCs and you should expect the very best. Unfortunately most doormen will never even begin to approach the quality of “very best.”
You are comparing apples and oranges. And like someone else said, in most parts of brooklyn there are very few doormen. The quality of the neighborhood is determined by the occupants, whether they can perform a pirouette, bras croise or any other move!
You didn’t answer my question as to what your CCs are. i suspect they are well above $3,000 per month and for that you should expect the best. Yous should also have central AC which most places on Park Ave do not have!!!!
I’m sure you walk around Brooklyn and Manhattan and notice that neighborhoods are created from thousands of social gestures between people who may know one another only peripherally but whose relationships are important to their quality of life: the elder sweeping her stoop and offering a good morning; the doorman greeting a passing dog walker; the shopkeeper hosing his vegetables and chatting up the neighborhood kids.
And these relationships can be observed across neighborhoods, price points, ethnicities, and housing types (from high-rise condo to brownstone).
They are so deep, in fact, that they help make New York a series of small towns, where shades of difference can be felt in a five-block walk.

Yeah — I posted that link about the fake townhouse and no one cared.

NOP = Mr Rogers
sounds like a plan DeLepp – lemme know!
Thanks DIBS. Don’t remember seeing it.
Kens, that was posted on here last week somewhere.
DIBS,

Part of the pleasure of living in the city.
