Real Estate

And that's a NY Magazine article? Quoting one idiot hallucinator that claims to have owned 100 houses at age 20? Without any debate or study if this trend is widespread and if its source is racism or just profiteering from a MAnhattan to Brooklyn trend. Arent young artists that came to WIlliamsburg or Bushwick first being hurt the same way now by the new affluent Manhattanites joining the Brooklyn crowd? IS that racist or just cashing out on a economic trend? Might be morally wrong either way (depending in your moral conscious) but definitely not racism induced. The answer of why this is an article at all... is that the writer wanted to smear the hasidic community as racist but that would be too outrageous. So the writer instead took the stupidest of the bunch and quoted word for word so to imply that hasids are racists. That is a good way to sell his book. To cover her/his ass the writer put in that disclaimer that efraim doesn't represent all hasids. Good try at anti semitism. Gibson preaches about racism while spewing the worst antisemitic stereotypes. If writer isn't implying that Efraim represents all than why is this one interview newsworthy. What a slimy hater. Ill remind the writer of the words of Martin Luther King: Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. I hope the writer will learn from those beloved words.

How about that sitz bath! I guess I would advertise it as a bathtub for a small dog or something. Curious about the the stained glass window in the bathroom as it looks more mission/craftsman or maybe art deco style and is not in keeping with the other stained glass windows (see pics of the window in the stairwell, above the shaving sink, and the fireplace room). Kitchen is really unique, not everyone's cup of tea, but a good chef could have a lot of fun there.

The article incorrectly identifies a "convent" to be renovated as part of the project. The structure to be renovated was actually a "rectory" or home of the parishe's priests. The convent was located around the block on Aberdeen Street. The convent still stands but is no longer in use.

The wood and copper tub is the standout detail. Anyone have lived experience with one of those? Not sure if it has benefits or downsides or is just a unique, anachronistic thing to have around . . .
