House of the Day: 64A Clifton Place
The photo of 64A Clifton Place speaks for itself—Beautiful old Clinton Hill brownstone fallen on hard times. The listing for the 18-by-40-foot house says there are a few original doors left in the place, but overall you’re looking at a complete gut job. The house is asking $899,000, or about $300 a foot.

The photo of 64A Clifton Place speaks for itself—Beautiful old Clinton Hill brownstone fallen on hard times. The listing for the 18-by-40-foot house says there are a few original doors left in the place, but overall you’re looking at a complete gut job. The house is asking $899,000, or about $300 a foot. (Quite an uptick from the $425,100 it traded for back in 2005. Interestingly, the current owner took out a $650,000 mortgage from a private non-bank lender back in April of this year.) What do you think a reasonable price for the gut reno would be? $500,000?

Very scary looking POS.
“We should have a say over what gets posted.”
Yes. On your own site, but not here.
Im not saying he shouldnt censor, it is his site after all. Im just saying once you get into the game of censoring, it can be very difficult to siphon out what is appropriate and not appropriate. Especially when you are dealing with hundreds or thousands of posts a day.
Today, you say “rape” is not appropriate (Even though it was in a completely non-sexual way, Look up the definition sometime) Tomorrow, I think no-one should say “shit”, then no curses at all, nothing racist, nothing against low-income people, etc., etc.
I was repeatedly called a yuppie on a forum post earlier today – Where is Mr. Browncensor to ride to my rescue?
Censorship is never the right thing unless someone is being threating or violently abusive. It is a dangerous road that way too many people are all too willing to go down.
The What’s opinion is a cliche, hence irrelevant.
Now, using a racial/racist term, on the other hand, still packs a punch. thank god.
If you can buy a livable two family (probably not a brownstone, but probably a brick) in another neighborhood like south south slope or gowanus for instance, why would you buy this and put more into it than it would be worth to sell?
The thing is- if people hate what The What has to say, they should tell the owner of the site. If they like it and come here to read it- then fine. Brownstoner makes money by letting people post and selling ads. We should have a say over what gets posted.
Fawning over brownstone buildings is vulgar. It should censored out of this website’s content.
It’s not censorship when you own the forum. This isn’t a newspaper or news organization. The What could have his own site if he chose to.
2:29, Stuff it with your censorship.
This is not a state operated website. Mr. Stoner has every right to refuse to put up anything that is vulgar or offensive, just like any good newspaper or magazine.
I wish he used a stricter standard myself.
