No Takers For Red Hook Piece o' Crap

It was with little surprise that we noticed last week that this pair of super fugly houses at 41 and 43 Wolcott Street in Red Hook have not found buyers yet. When will the builders of shlock get a clue. The unfortunate aesthetics may only be part of the difficulty in selling these places. The other? The front-porch views of the Red Hook Houses. GMAP
While it isn’t *only* Hasids who build this shit… This is textbook hasid housing. I see it all over brooklyn going up, and then one day I see the hasid developers, usually two brothers in a Toyota Sienna mini-van, arguing with the Hispanic guys about something… never noticing things like how freaking ugly a giant metal piece that says ‘fedders’ looks. God these are horrible. and they ARE ruining brooklyn. As bad as it sounds, THESE PEOPLE MUST BE STOPPED!
where are the toll brothers when we need them? they own most of the waterfront real estate in williamsburg–can’t wait to see what they will do with it
well flushing is littered with these and they are tearing down a perfectly good victorian–people just living in it a few weeks ago–to build something like this… no one is helping us out here w/ this stuff.. all the help (when it does) goes to brownstone bklyn.. anyone want to take up preservation in flushing? we’ll take it, bud.

WT is right. There are lots of people — many of them living on the South Shore of Long Island — who probably think these buildings look just fine. Massive home renovation is the favorite past-time of everyone on my brother-in-law’s block in LI. And they all put on vinyl siding, the oversized, fake divided light windows (my pet peeve) EXACTLY like the ones on these buildings.
Hasidic delopers don’t ALWAYS build ugly houses.
Are you mentally ill?
There are plently of WASPS with terrible taste too. Look at suburban American! Half of it looks like that crap!
are you certain this isnt the back of the building?
why is it that Hasidic developers always put up shit design and housing, even for themselves? Is it always about saving a buck ?
The interiors don’t look that bad.
