  1. There’s a “millionaires row” over in Borough Park… Lots of McMansions.. I forget, 14th or 15th Avenue. Lots of new “chateau” like construction – but granted, unlike Gravesend, individual homes are often sandwiched between much more humble housing.

  2. > “where’s 11217 when you need him to back up your argument!??!”

    I suspect that 11217 is alive and well and posting as swine flu. I had suspicions before. Posting the population/census article makes me darn near certain.

  3. The ultra orthodox hasids are in Boro Park, Crown Heights and Williamsburgh. They are not spending millions on condos. The Sephardim are the wealthier of all of the groups and they live mostly along Ocean Parkway in Midwood through Gravesend. These were the families that were able to pay millions for houses not the ultra orthodox Hasids. As I stated previously, many in this Sephardic community were hard hit by the Madoff mess but I suspect that there are still some who can fork over millions to stay within the community.

  5. Well, I can live with 2003-2004 levels…so maybe inertia will win out and I’ll be navigating stairs into my waning years.

    Ugh!

    Does anyone here have experience with installing a chair lift on a staircase?

    The husband unit is fine…but has flat feet so clomps on the stairs enough to raise the dead. I’ll be (am) the one wincing with each step I take!
