Fully Vacant (Except for the Lady Watching TV)
We’ve seen our share of strange photos included in real estate listings but this one may take the prize. Is that a nightgown the woman is wearing? What makes the photo choice even more questionable is that the ad emphasizes the house is “fully vacant.” As for the house itself, which is located on Gates…
We’ve seen our share of strange photos included in real estate listings but this one may take the prize. Is that a nightgown the woman is wearing? What makes the photo choice even more questionable is that the ad emphasizes the house is “fully vacant.” As for the house itself, which is located on Gates Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant, it looks solid enough from the outside but appears to be lacking in terms of interior charm. For $800,000 in this neck of the woods, we’d expect a little more.

I did not say that I thought the comments SHOULD be deleted, I’m just “glad to see that they are gone”. If they had remained, my life would have continued and another topic sould have come up and we would all move on.
Yeah, I’m not into censorship either, except for things that I find very offensive.
I also thought that post was completely obnoxious, but fact is, if you believe that “highly inappropriate” comments should be deleted, then you are “into censorship.” (Or choose your euphemism — “moderation,” “community standards,” etc.) Which is totally defensible, but you can’t have it both ways.
And by the way, I acknowledge that Brownstoner has every right to censor comments on his own site, for any reason he chooses.
I’m not into censorship, however, I thought the
11:26am comments were highly inappropriate and am glad to see that they are gone. Those comments left me with a queasy feeling.
Hey,the 11:26am poster is really rubbing me the wrong way with those “big momma” comments. Hoping it was a bad attempt at irony.
That’s so strange. Yikes.
Poor lady. She probably doesn’t even know that she’s all over the internet in her pajamas. I saw a listing once for a very expensive Brooklyn home where the owners didn’t even make their bed before letting the broker take pictures. And there was a close up shot of the master bedroom and all these rumpled sheets. It made you angry that for the money they were asking, they coudn’t even make it look good.
This realtor wants to let you see the person who paid 50K for this place years ago so that you can actually SEE who’s getting rich off of the buyer’s dime.
Why would they even post that pitcure?
This reminds me of an open house I attended in Gowanus several years ago, where there was a different elderly or divorced relative living on each floor, watching tv while people poked around. The whole thing was so depressing on so many levels…
