Development Watch: 160 Schermerhorn Tops Out
It only took about three months for the Schermerhorn House at 160 Schermerhorn Street to top out at 11 stories. Half of the 190 units will be for low-income residents and artists while the other half will be for the formerly homeless. Strange bedfellows for the new owners of the fancy 14 Townhouses next door….

Artist is a pretty generic term. By such bland terms, so am I since I draw a lot.
Be more specific. I.e. I paint urban scenery, I paint country scenery, I’m post modern, cubists, comic illustrator, graphic designer doing web pages, illustration, print media, photography, sidewalk drawer, design for greeting cards, drafter at an architectural firm, or married to a rich husband who works for living and I doodle around and call myself an artist because I spent 100K at a liberal arts college.
i love how some people’s idea of diversity is 10 rich people + 90 poor people
yeah. nice braod spectrum
For example, an intelligent hard working engineer making 90K a year, cant live in the apts reserved for the poor, nor can he/she afford the lux condos or town homes
he/she is told to fuck off, live out in queens somewhere
underachievers (to put it kindly) meanwhile are given handouts to live in prime locations, because some limo liberal decrees that they are important
and they call it diversity
i call it white guilt
i’m an artist.
i made 10 dollars last year.
and i live in a brownstone in park slope.
3:35 PM, what do you do for work and where do you work and how much do you make?
and what do you do for work, 3:30?
no one does realize this, 3:23….you are correct.
people have gained enormous wealth in the past 10 years…even with a drop off in home prices, anyone who bought or owned a home prior to 2000 has seen their wealth on paper increase by 100’s of thousands of dollars in many cases.
you are witnessing a lot of the outrage by bitter people who passed up opportunites to buy something because they didn’t believe in brooklyn’s future enough (but ironically now criticize others for investing in its future at much higher dollar amounts) or they were unable or did not want to buy for one reason or another.
it’s pretty transparent.
envy is one of the 7 deadly sins, you know…
Artists? Are these the same artists that are in line with Frank Gehry or Robert Scarano in architecture? The artists that design modern buildings with 8′ ceilings, 4″ concrete flooring, and 1/8″ paned windows? The artists that crumble a piece of paper and call it a sculpture and then a city overpays for it and plants it in a park?
Nah, I’ll do without the artists then. Seems like they don’t make artists like they use too either.
TONS of people in Brooklyn are making lots and lots more money now, with all the new wealthy residents. Does anybody EVER think about that? Contractors, stores, restaurants, electricians, plumbers, car service drivers, etc etc etc etc etc.
Tell me how is this bad for working class Brooklyn?
“because someone has established ludicrous benchmarks”
it was the real estate god. he made up all these prices.
