I payed top tick in Bed Stuy in 2007 so I could walk to Solomon’s Porch. I certainly don’t throw stones. 🙂
I don’t live in a glass house for that very reason, Benson.
All brownstone for me. I like being able to throw whatever I want.
The house in homecrast is sitting on a land parcel thats less then 30 feet wide! I understand the serian factor and I live in homecrest as well….but 3 mill for a house on land thats only 29×120 does not make sense. there are many homes in the area with very large parcels (50×100) that sell for less then 3 million.
Those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
It would appear to many other people that living in NYC is a wacked out concept…and paying $3M to live in a shoebox of an apartment in the West Village proves it.

“i always thought religion in general was a wacked out concept. i guess paying 3 million dollars for a delapidated house just so you can walk to pray proves that.”
Amen to that!!!!

“People who can’t discern the difference between brownstone Brooklyn and Queens should really be posting on a different blog.”
Yeah, because that Homecrest place is a brownstone.

People who can’t discern the difference between brownstone Brooklyn and Queens should really be posting on a different blog.
Regarding Homecrest–benson & others have already explained that this house was most likely sold to members of a religious community who buy in close proximity to their houses of worship. It’s a “closed” market–doesn’t anyone bother to read other people’s comments anymore??
