Foreclosures of the Week
There are a couple of cute houses up for auction today that aren’t in Bed-Stuy or East New York. To the left is a turn-of-the-century, three-story Bay Ridge house that appears to have been refinanced again and again (and again) by its current owner, who took control of the property in ’02.

There are a couple of cute houses up for auction today that aren’t in Bed-Stuy or East New York. To the left is a turn-of-the-century, three-story Bay Ridge house that appears to have been refinanced again and again (and again) by its current owner, who took control of the property in ’02. The lien for this one stands at $787,627. To the right, meanwhile, is a Flatbush house that seems to have been owned by the same people since 1976; the lien here is a comparatively skimpy $85,753, suggesting a sadder story. Both auctions take place at 3 p.m. this afternoon at 360 Adams Street, room 261.

Foreclosures
I so agree with you 9:40 Most areas in NY have sections that are nice even East New York. I think many on this web-site are very narrow minded. Many people on this site are not from NY and grew up in red state america but call themselves lib-demos.
You may not believe this, but I personally know someone who lives on the border of East NY and Cypress Hill who has a single family home that has a olympic size in-ground pool w/three bedroom guess house in the back with a iron swing gate paved driveway. The house has more details than I have space to describe. It is located on a block where prominent professionals once lived. It sits on a high hill overlooking most of Central Brooklyn. I think brownstoner should educate himself along with it’s readers if he did an article on the houses on highland blvd. It will give those who are mentally disconnected from the other parts of brooklyn a chance to see true mansion living in a place often describe as a dead zone.
I think that Bedstuy and parts of ENY get a bad rap because of where the area links the neighborhood. For example, Cypress hills NY has some really nice historic homes and townhomes. It is easily accessible to the J train that links to the JMZ, L and A train. You can get to the city within 20-30 minutes and actually get a seat. And because CYpress hills is in ENY it gets a bum rap. You guys need to stop being so narrow minded. It’s bad enough Brooklyn is becoming this homogenous borough with the typical W* folks that seemed to have no concept of other cultures and donot feel there is a need to respect them either. It’s a shame the borough I call home is going through this drastic change.
Trust me, I went to college at the height of PC, the late 80s, and “of color” was the preferred term, in fact, you’d get jumped all over if you *didn’t* use it. I don’t think things have changed that much, and Mr. Montrose Morris corroborates this.
Also — there really aren’t any neighborhoods in Brooklyn that are racially/ethnically monolithic. That’s what makes it nice. So just characterizing a neighborhood as African American would be incorrect.
Economic diversity is a different bucket of bolts, but even there, Brooklyn has a welcome level of it. Brooklyn Heights, maybe not so much. I think that in order to grapple with some of the issues on this blog, it’s actually useful to be specific, rather than use coded words, which just get everyone irritated.
So maybe some of the posters felt that Gabby was using coded language, when she felt she was referring to a known fact.
Too-quick accusations of racism just blunt the force of the claim when real racism, subtle or explicit, rolls around.
“The Brownstoner Blog will soon be dead”
The Bond market today said: Goodbye Mutant Real Estate Bubble. Plus with all the hearing I think the blow up is coming real soon. Just maybe Brownstoner will go back to his cave. It’s over folks Real Estate is dead.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end..
Note: Brownstoner if you delete my post, You will give me more creditability and make me right. Everyone don’t see things as you see them. I have lived in this neighborhood all my life and to see this Mutant Real Estate Bubble is unreal.
BTW You don’t want to be around here in a depression. Believe me!!
The Brownstoner Blog will soon be dead…he is emerging as a conservative with an overwhelmingly liberal readership. I predict that he will be like one of those hot shock-jocks. One day he will go too far and it will be all over. He will return back to hanging out in his favorite republican friendly bar where drunken middle-aged men will be talking about the good ole days when a Blackman would never dream of being president.
VOTE OBABMA FOR CHANGE
Resident Person of Color here – that term is not considered racist or even tiredly old fashioned amongst most people in the black community. It’s usually used to include all people of color – usually referred to as “non-white”. I’d rather be a person of color, a positive adjective/noun, rather than non-white, a negative, which implies that being white is the norm from which all is derived. Just my opinion, there.
I also think that the point brought up that many forclosed properties in ENY, etc are investment properties is an important one, often forgotten. In some ways, this is even worse for the people in these homes. You pay your rent every month to some absentee landlord, and one day, poof, with no warning and through no fault of your own, your home is threatened, and you are out on the street.
5:43 oh pls.. you are ridiculous. who cares.
