Condo of the Day: 153 Lincoln Place, #3C
It looks like most of the units at 153 Lincoln Place—the former bordello in Park Slope—are now spoken for: Seven have closed, one is on contract and two are still for sale. One of the apartments that’s still available, Unit 3C, has had its asking price cut twice in the last three months, bringing it…
It looks like most of the units at 153 Lincoln Place—the former bordello in Park Slope—are now spoken for: Seven have closed, one is on contract and two are still for sale. One of the apartments that’s still available, Unit 3C, has had its asking price cut twice in the last three months, bringing it to $999,000 from an initial $1,245,000. It has a lot of space—1,388 square feet—so we suspect the problem has been the untraditional layout. Or maybe, to beat a familiar drum, it’s the lack of original details inside a historic shell. Thoughts?

the demon spawn. That’s probably only about 20% of the kids.
youve GOT to be kidding with that one. it’s definitely MOST definitely in the 95-99 percent range. nyc kids unfortunately fall into two groups. terribly underprivileged and nasty and terrible overprivileged and nasty.

Thanks for the credit DH. Rob, I posted my comment as a “mirror image” in both posts — because of your comment. In total agreement…. well, except about the demon spawn. That’s probably only about 20% of the kids.
Rob – tybur made that comment!!
dipster i made that EXACT comment in the House of the Day thread. thanks for bringing it here to. ill restate my original statement which i stand by…
and you people WONDER why brooklyn public schools SUCK SO BAD? ridiculous. taxes on home prices need to INCREASE 10 fold if you actually want the little monsters of brooklyn to get a decent education. ridiculous! im so tired of having to pay like 1/3 of my salary to pay for crappy city schools that I will never have a need for while people in this pay pittance on taxes on their homes. BARF! sorry for the rant, but this has been bothering me for quite some time now.
what is ABSURD is that someone will pay 8K a year for property taxes on a studio apartment, but 2K a year for an entire 4 bedroom house? who is more like to have kids? who is more like to use up public funds from taxes, i.e. send those demon spawn to schools? GRRRR
Awesome tybur!
rob, I bet many people on here don’t know that herpes comes in Simplex and Zoster forms. very good.
So… taxes on this are $7400 a year and the House of the Day with basically the same price tag is $1800 a year.
What the Fuck!?
The lawmakers in this little town have to get some balls and stand up to the House-owners and make them pay their fair share and stop raping the apartment/condo folks. (colorful language intentional)
Seriously… a $1 million property should have the same fucking taxes… no matter what shape it takes. I pay the same tax on a $50 bottle of perfume and a $50 Xbox game.
I know the argument — the homeowners have a strong voice. Well, there are a hell of a lot more condo/coop owners getting a broomstick in the bunghole. Just doesn’t make sense. And it needs to be fixed!!! If you spend millions of dollars on a property, it’s completely absurd to think you should only pay 0.18% annual taxes!!!
