House of the Day: What Price PLG Perfection?
Even though $1.395 million is a lot of dough for Lefferts Manor we think this new listing won’t even be around to see the fireworks next week. If you’re into period perfection this place will knock your socks off. (On the flip side, if you’re not, it’ll make you gag.) It’s got the full monty:…
Even though $1.395 million is a lot of dough for Lefferts Manor we think this new listing won’t even be around to see the fireworks next week. If you’re into period perfection this place will knock your socks off. (On the flip side, if you’re not, it’ll make you gag.) It’s got the full monty: parquet floors, carved wood paneling, leaded stained glass. The 20-foot detached house sits on a 37-foot-wide lot on the neighborhood’s (arguably) best block. For $100,000 less, we think this is looking like a better buy than 68 Midwood despite the latter’s many positive attributes. Think we’ve got that right?

No wonder the troll didn’t want to email me. He’d be found out.
Meanwhile, Brownstoner – please note my IP address on these recent posts. My access had been restricted for a while (I used another computer), and it came back today. However, it looks like when you freed the restricted IP addresses, you also freed the troll’s, who came back today too. Please restrict the troll’s IP address (he’s been posting under CHP and anonymous, I believe – but so far, he HAS NOT been posting under my name).
You know, it crossed my mind that the troll was back! I’m so sorry if I insulted you CHP. Someone was getting so nasty with me!
Now who’s the smug one, CHP?
Meanwhile, if pigmentocracy is so obvious, then why is my morality even an issue when I bring it up during property valuation discussions on this blog? To me, it’s the big pink elephant in the room that everyone is pretending to ignore.
If PLG was a predominantly white, ungentrified neighborhood (like Carroll Gardens once was), do you think people would even blink about paying $1.5M for one of its fabulous townhouses? No – I’m sure they’d be extolling the virtues of the neighborhood’s architecture, historic district, tree lined streets, Prospect Park, and express trains to Manhattan.
Troll I said enough! Basta! You will not assume my identity here, you puerile creep.
Woah, I wasn’t even following this thread for a couple of days and now it seems “I” have posted a couple of times. Must be phantom writing. Or somnombulistic communication. But it is not me. Get your own handle, buster. My only remark lately was to call Bob a real gentleman. Everything following is trollish escresence.
Ed, I don’t have a problem with you. I agree with you often, and I think there is a great deal of truth to what you have said. Please disregard remarks above attributed to me. Our hairy annoyance is back again.
I suspect it will remain so. We won’t tax you by asking you to reveal still more of ‘the obvious’.
My mailbox is still empty.
ED stands for Emiment Domain on this blog.
Ed is me. And you too, anonymous BITCH, may e-mail me if you want to get into this further, rather than being rude and reverting to name-calling.
CHP–you’ve got ED pegged. It’s like arguing with a 14 year old. I’m surpirsed he isn’t calling everyone “fascists.”
As for Carroll Gardens, I remember when I rented an apartment on first place (because I could walk to the Heights) and everyone was horrified that I’d live “down there with all virgin mary statues.” Class prejudice and snobbishness play a far greater role than “pigmentation,” but neither are as powerful as location.
