  1. DIBS;

    How do you know that?

    I could just as easily make a breezy statement that the majority of old homes in Brooklyn are $hitboxes that for many years were neglected, carved into SRO’s or rentals, etc.

  2. When I went to look at Satori – that was one thing we thought that those panels did not look like would hold up.
    I say blame it on the engineers who designed and/or the asian country where manufactured.

  3. “Not sure if the brokers would pay $100 for each one though.”

    $100 for a floorplan???? WTF!!! DIBS, you have to stop thinking of the rates you pay your ‘workers’. I must be a union worker, cause I would charge more.
    .20 – .25 cents per square foot is my rate AND I don’t eyeball anything. I measure every square inch of a space.

    What’s a typical space?
    To measure a 1,000 sq. ft. apt. will probably take me (one person) 1.5 hours to measure.
    A four story townhouse, half a day.
    Depending how much crap is in the way.

  4. benson, apples and oranges.

    I’m only saying that ALL new development does NOT fall into your category “a” That’s my whole point…the majority of new development in brooklyn over the past 2-5 yeears HAS NOT BEEN WITH A “WELL ESTABLISHED DEVELOPER.”

  5. Denton;

    My comparison did not address taste or “workmanship” (whatever that is). It addresses DIBS’ contention about the lack of transparency of the product quality in new-build purchases.
