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.

I agree with Mr. The What.
America is fucked.
The What:
What are you talking about? Brownstoner just posted a House of the Day a block from where he lives in Clinton Hill.
Tinkerbell Economy RIP.
Why is it racist, pray?
How would you categorize East New York, then?
‘lower income neighborhoods of color’
Racist comment of the Day
Mr. B and Gabby, ignore those cretins. People are just looking for a reason to anonymously sound off.
I don’t mind The What’s commentary when it’s generalized, but when it gets ad hominem/feminam, it loses its value.
I think it’s pretty well-established that lower income neighborhoods of color have been victimized by the mortgage mess in Brooklyn and nationally. Why get angry at someone for referring to this? Anger should be placed in the appropriate corner.
Talking demographics here, not opinion, and anyhow, no one is implying that it’s somehow the fault of foreclosed owners when it’s clear they’ve been manipulated by unscrupulous mortgage brokers who took advantage of their comparative lack of financial sophistication.
Blame Tommy Mozillo or Alan Greenspan.
2:18=broker pissed off by the “what”
Brownstoner you are only upset with the “what” because of his comments towards you. I never see you threaten the racist, ant-semitic, or other foul-mouth posters. The “what” is harmless. He is like a schizo oldman who had a nervous breakdown while studying for his PHD. Every family has one. The Brownstoner family got the “what”. Just feed him his meds (respond to his ad) and he will fall into a comatose sleep for a few days. And if anybody ask, we will just say he was adopted.
I thought I’d left high school a long time ago. Guess not.
