I sometimes read brownstoner on my iPhone. And to read comments you have to flip down and down 100x. Does anyone know a trick to get to the end of the page quickly?
“As homeowner in same I disagree. Our neighborhood may not have quite the same investment upside as CHN or Stuy Heights but I do think that the pace of change in the neighborhood is well ahead of those and that creates its own upside. ”
What change Wasder????!!!! Jackasses overpaying to live Ghetto Fab???!!
Housing prices have doubled, even tripled and no see the problem?
The basic right of Shelter is number one and overpaying hurts everybody ( less money to spend on other things)!
When the wormhole collapses I hope the ‘tards still have Brownstone Love..
“A real NY sports fan would NEVER root for a Boston team.”
I agree, which is why it’s going to be difficult rooting for the Bruins if they play the Habs. But I’ll choose the lesser of two evils and cheer on Boston and then hope San Jose or Chicago trounces them.
As homeowner in same I disagree. Our neighborhood may not have quite the same investment upside as CHN or Stuy Heights but I do think that the pace of change in the neighborhood is well ahead of those and that creates its own upside. If you bought at a reasonable price, I bet you will see appreciation at a decent clip in our neck of the woods while simultaneously enjoying an already vibrant neighborhood. Not say that Stuy Heights and CHN are not vibrant but that the density of amenities and proximity to other cool neighborhoods is greater here.
Now if you are one of the buyers spending 1.3 to live here maybe that equation is not quite as favorable.
You really need about 4″ bed of finely crushed stone when you lay those pieces of bluestone. You can’t lay them on soil and expect them not to buckle and heave.
Yeah, a few years ago, I had a “contractor” working on the cornice which worked out fine. He said he could fix a couple of slabs which had lifted over time.
basically, he just dug them up and threw them in place again. Didn’t work, within a few months one slab had cracked and depressed.
I found a couple of new slabs at the base of the coal chute and had a mason come in and set them properly.
tamping each layer and so on. Still good 5 years later.
A backyard is much more forgiving though, no freeze thaw cycles to displace them and no constant foot traffic.
