Brooklyn Buyers Dominating On Prospect Park Sales
It’s been a while since we checked in with ye olde OPP. So how’s it been going? According to the sales office, the House that Richard Built is 30 percent sold, more than had been expected at this stage (move-in’s not ’til Fall 2008). There was a cocktail party last week at which recent buyers…
It’s been a while since we checked in with ye olde OPP. So how’s it been going? According to the sales office, the House that Richard Built is 30 percent sold, more than had been expected at this stage (move-in’s not ’til Fall 2008). There was a cocktail party last week at which recent buyers got to mingle with bigwigs from the nearby cultural institutions. (Just think of all the potential donations!) Perhaps the most interesting fact we learned was that most purchasers have in fact been Brooklynites, clearly not what the developer Mario Procida anticipated given his decision to locate the marketing office in Tribeca. Does it surprise you that Brooklyn buyers are leading the charge? As for current pricing, there are a number of units listed on Corcoran (including this $6 million rock star pad) at per square foot prices of between $1,500 and $2,000. Quite something, then again there’s nothing like it.

That makes perfect sense to me–you can be a jerk but you can’t pretend to be 3 different jerks. Good policy.
The 10 am post is simplistically negative, but it wasn’t from the same IP address, so we didn’t delete it. Being dimwitted isn’t a reason for having a comment deleted; being offensive or deceptive is. Posting 6 or 7 times in a way that creates the impression it’s 6 or 7 different people expressing the viewpoint when it’s really 1 is deceptive. We’re sure it happens all the time, but when this kind of BS is staring us in the face, we’re not going to ignore it. House rules.
i don’t see how the comment at 10am isn’t considered “simplistically negative”
i actually found that the most such comment on this entire thread and there is still stands.
also done.
If we were able to see that one person had posted several of them in a manner designed to deceive, we would.
What about all the simplistically positive posts? Why don’t they get deleted?
we just did ban them, but some of the peskiest members of the Brownstoner underworld have ways around that. we’ll see. that’s why you have to take everything, good and bad, with a grain of salt and avoid overreacting to comments that seem designed to get your goat.
But if it was based on an ip address, the person could simply be banned, no?
2:32 — likely based on IP addresses.
That’s what I get for chipping in too quickly…
