Where is Park Slope/Prospect Heights can I get a great steak that isn’t $30 for just the steak?
“As for diversity being “negative” to point out about PLG, that’s something every individual has to examine about his/her own values and world view”.
Exactly Anon.12:03. Those who are uncomfortable with this probably shouldn’t consider PLG–they’d be happier elsewhere. I say this without intending to make any sort of value judgement.
I agree with Bob, that wasn’t “negative” in the PLG article to point out how one gets initially turned off by the dudes hanging on the corners. Because it’s true! Those dudes are the first thing you see when you step off the subway in PLG. You have to walk past Flatbush before getting to the blocks of historic houses. And we all know what a lovely street Flatbush is. I think it’s positive to show even the biggest fans of PLG aren’t thrilled about Flatbush.

Did anyone go to either of the open houses at 84 Fenimore Street or 292 Parkside Avenue in PLG? If so, please share your thoughts. I wonder if there was a lot of turn out because of the NY Times coverage.
did anyone go to the ft greene house? I’m dying to know what’s wrong with it – that price seems a little unreal or perhaps the greed of people selling houses recently has left me jaded to the intentions of a *reasonably* priced home. I just feel like there has to be a catch, especially if its been on the market for a while. maybe the bidding war theory or one of the apartments has a ghost in it or something?!?!
Damn Brownstoner couldn’t you have just let it last a bit longer? Sorry about that, I stand corrected.
Anon.3:43,
I disagree.IMO the NYT article on the Stenke’s house was quite positive. I really liked it.Many ARE initially put off by people hanging out on Flatbush Ave. This article might get some to look past that. Those who cannot do so will not consider PLG in any case. IMO that is their loss–YRMV.
I’m certainly not the only one in the nabe who liked that article–see the May 12th entry in PPLG:

Couple of reasons:
1) We already discussed it here: http://brownstoner.com/brownstoner/archives/2006/11/condo_of_the_da_28.php
2) We don’t list condos in the Open House Picks.
So much for you conspiracy theory.
Wonder why Brownstoner never lists these open houses on the site:

or

They are right on his block and have had an openhouse the last two weekends. The prices are outrageous! I bet the developer asked him not to.
