Hey Corcoran, Won't You Be Our Neighbor?
The Prospect Lefferts Gardens blog Across the Park is inviting the city’s powerhouse brokerages to set up shop in the neighborhood. A recent post notes that though name-brand brokerages sell properties in the area, none of them has a storefront: Almost every time there’s a big listing (sometimes a small listing) in PLG, it’s offered…
The Prospect Lefferts Gardens blog Across the Park is inviting the city’s powerhouse brokerages to set up shop in the neighborhood. A recent post notes that though name-brand brokerages sell properties in the area, none of them has a storefront:
Almost every time there’s a big listing (sometimes a small listing) in PLG, it’s offered by a larger, highly recognizable firm. In addition, we hypothesize that sooner or later, the big guys will want to expand into Crown Heights South and Wingate. Wouldn’t PLG make a stellar location to grow from? … We would also like to see one of the big firms locate in PLG because we think it would contribute remarkably to our commercial landscape and accelerate the addition of amenities – nothing fancy, we’re talking ATMs and some better stocked shops on Flatbush.
It’s an interesting question: Do big-time real estate offices beget gentrification, or is it the other way ’round?
Big Firms: Come on Down [Across the Park]
i agree with 3:02. this site would be completely pointless without the senseless banter. keep it up fellow guests!!!
Montrose, don’t give up the ship over a couple of cockroaches (not a bad metaphor for folks who live in this town, no?)
I agree with Brower Park. There’s no reason to attribute all these posts to a troll.
Everyone, please just disregard the crybabies. They used to rule this site and shut down anyone who disagreed with them. Then The Brownstoner Troll came along and solved that little problem. Now the PLG crybabies just whine incessantly, but that’s really all there is to it. They shouldn’t impede the progress of this great site, so keep on keepin’ on!!!
Not to imply that ALL the gray comments have something wrong with them–SOME of the guests REALLY ARE guests.
Montrose Morris,
Sorry I got your last name wrong–senior moment, I guess.
Oh, and please don’t let the GRAY comments get to you! –Although I actually AGREE with the 3:02 PM one, allbeit not for the reason intended by our “friend” 🙂
This used to be a great site to get information on, and even engage in healthy debate on whatever issues. Now, you can’t state an opinion without someone calling you names or telling you to fuck off. Are you people so bitter, or so bored that you think you are witty, funny, or intelligent? You bring down the whole site, and turn most people off, and drive people away. I can think of many names I don’t see here anymore, and I would bet that this “new” attitude of so called hip dismissiveness, and general rudeness has a great deal to do with it. Good going.
I would definitely require registration for the site. There’s just too much static otherwise.
Montrose Park,
In general, I share your cynicism, but there are (thankfully) exceptions.
Come to think of it, PLG is full of exceptions. Where else would restrictive covenants, generally denegrated as a tool of racism, have, in the form of the Lefferts Manor single family covenant, helped foster one of Brooklyn’s most successfully integrated communities?
