the fort greene house is across the street from the church proposed halfway house. a little scary for a family. could be affecting the price which started way higher almost a year ago. i saw the property and needs work, updating , configurations, etc.
I only recently found out about this site and think it is absolutely fantastic. Most of the posts I have read on this site seem to be so helpful and the ones that were not so helpful and sometimes not so nice really gave me a good laugh. Let’s be honest, we all have to vent at times but this is absolutely ridiculous and cruel. Maybe if we all were required to post our names and not hide behind “anonymous” the posts would not get so out of hand. For those interested in fighting, venting deep anger and refusing to stick to the topic – go somewhere else and leave the rest of us alone! We are all entitled to our own opinions about where we live and where would like to live but this sounds just plain juvenile and cruel.
There are references to Tiesha Sargent’s parents, but not to any siblings. For example:

How pathetic that this creep defames her memory by falsly claiming to be her non-existant brother.
Re: Windsor Terrace–a smaller but very beautiful house on Howard Place (great block but maybe not as nice as Sherman because it fronts the school)just sold for $1.4 million, while there’s another very lovely Sherman Street house down the block from this one for sale for over $1.8 million (bigger yard and has an apartment upstairs to defray mortgage, tho not by much).
Nobody is saying anything about Windsor Terrace 2-story being nearly $1.4 million. Isn’t that close to Park Slope prices, for per square foot? I knew people liked Windsor Terrace but jeepers, that’s higher than I thought WT would be.
I’m not sure I understand why, but these AYE posts are growing on me. Maybe it’s because all the otherwise or previously sane people have drunk the kool-aid.
Better buy in Marine Park before summer or you’ll never get in for less than 1M. And if you wait until next year, there are some 1M condos in downtown Glens Falls that’ll be 2M.
Of course 1.7M is chump change for a house, isn’t everybody making 800K now? And next year they’ll be pulling down 1.3M. Every last reader of this blog, no doubt.
This is all very funny … but what will be funnier still is what these folks will do after emptying their bank accounts and buying a fixer-upper with a liar loan at 10X income — when prices go down 50%.
12 years ago you couldn’t walk through Ft. Greene without getting a basketball sized gunshot wound in your chest. Now look. Better get on those PLG houses cause in another year or two they’ll be over the top. And who in the world thinks $1.7M is a decent price to pay for a house? Wake up. If your making that much $, buy a couple houses somewhere else! I love Brooklyn as much as the next guy, but get real.
Enough with your AY ranting. If you have a point (not sure) why don’t you try to speak clearly about it instead of just whining like this about AY all the time? AY is a mess. But it’s not FG’s mess. It’s Brooklyn’s mess. And the issues most people are concerned with are not their housing prices plummenting. They are concerned with traffic throughout the borough, safety for pedestrians at major intersections around the arena, eminent domain’s unlawfulness, the way the politicians ignored the public, the fact that the entire borough needs more schools, the fact that city and state taxpayers are underwriting a project to get a company rich at the expense of landowners who will be pushed out, and so on. Obviously if a developer is going to put up housing he thinks he will make money. And that’s why housing prices are not the issue. I would argue the opposite is true. There is already a lot of displacement of poor people in and around Prospect Heights and the addition of luxury housing will only translate in to higher sales prices and higher rents. This is an actual major concern of AY opponents. You rich people will do just fine. But still please oppose AY because it’s wrong for the city and wrong for the state.
