omg, i had a gift card from that store… i went shopping there with snappy to use it up. snappy remember trying to pick something out for me and being in awe of how totally over priced everything in the store was? perhaps the community is just so wealthy they have no base concept of what money really means to people? cuz that’s definitely the case with a lot of uber rich manhattanites.
Yup, as Legion mentioned, also loads of e-commerce and hospitality businesses. I can tell you all about what kinds of money those business bring a week. Used to work for a couple in college and so did my friends.
ah okay, thanks for explaining Kens. are they going to tear this house down and rebuild something? i guess i just cant fathom why it would be 7 million dollars for that. is it because a bunch of people kept out bidding each other? yeah slopey you do have a point about people not questioning 20 million dollar townhomes on the UES.. tho i think that’s wack too, but for different reasons altogether. it’s just seems so greedy and xenophobic to me. both this community and UES society.

Kens is right, he knows the area and the community.
From what I know, there are also some big names in designer jeans and chain electronics in that community.
The community is very insular and living within the community is of prime importance.
rob, it is bigotry if you only question the legality of wealth accumulated in the syrian jewish community, but don’t bat an eye when someone in Manhattan or brooklyn heights pays that for a townhouse or a large apartment.
you could be an equal opportunity suspicious person, with a wealth=theft point of view. But if you choose only to mistrust the wealth of one particular group, it raises teh bigotry question in my mind.
Also, don’t forget, it’s decades of wealth building. no money ever leaves that community. Everyone marries within the community and businesses only grow. Kids take over their parents businesses and as far I know, pretty much no deadbeats in that sect.
Rob, most own businesses & small companies and easily make more than that a year. Just as an example, the store that’s right by your house, Something Else, is owned by someone in that Syrian community. They (I think it’s two brothers) also own about 5 more stores like that.
lol Slope, he obviously doesn’t realize what kind of money that community has.
