and which of those reasons above is your primary reason for visiting that stretch of Butler so often?
The stretch of Butler in the picture is so bizarre. There are always stripped and abandoned cars, prostitutes in mid-day, and I’ve even encountered a dead dog. I’m surprised the car wasn’t on fire (which I have also seen).
Fare zoning is not reasonable precisely becuase of the reason Montrose says.
They aren’t talking about zone fares….yet. We did away with 2 zone fares years ago and I don’t think that when they spend this vast amount of money its only going to give people a discount. I would hate to have them put in the technology that will allow both zone fares and higher rush hour ones.
I sincerely hope they don’t institute fare zones for different parts of the city, like they do in London. Riders in the outer reaches of the boroughs have a long enough commute, often have to take a bus to the train anyway, and have far fewer options in terms of subway lines. Most people are out there because they can’t afford to live closer to the city. It would be criminal to further penalize them by having them pay more, or to see those closer paying less.
great pic.
In mailing a received from MasseyKnakal realty services (more a commercial/multifam broker than condo/townhouse realtor)…they claim in CB6 (cargar/parkslope) prices for multifam-mixed used props down 30% from peak, industrial down 40% and residential dev. sites down 50%. Defined as 2007.
I like this statement – For all except the lucky few who managed to sell during that time, that market never really existed. Realistically, prices were at least 10% lower than that peak for most of the last 5 years.
Stuy Town decision is out, and it went for the tenants.
Say goodbye to the real-estate bubble…
only 4 pages of brooklyn props in the catalog. most expensive at $2.88m…and that for mixed bldg on Smith.
Great pic of big open room with lots of window in Sweeney bldg in dumbo for $2.675 with bkbridge in background. I could live there.
