No Anon 2:26. I don’t find it strange. Nor do I find the Muslim Youth Center in Bensonhurst on Bath avenue right up the block from St Finbar’s strange. The Buddhist Temple on Rugby Road isn’t strange either. Brooklyn is more diverse now than it has ever been and considering the vast number of people from varying socioeconomic, ethnic, religious and sexual orientation we get along relatively well.
so what’s with the huntinton listing saying “zoned for P.S. 58 school and Hannah Senesh Childrens School”?
Does anyone else find it strange that there’s a “school for progressive Jewish education” in the middle of Carroll Gardens a hotbed of Virgin Mary lawn staues? Seems quite out of place.
trees can be planted. trees will be planted.
well I saw 8th st, and the 25footer also on 8th st, a block further into gowanus that warren lewis had.
The area below 4th avenue is a long dusty treeless distance from anything, but I guess everyone knows that already. No matter what happens on 4th, it is never going to be cute — not with no tree cover and 8 lanes of traffic.
By the way, if I wanted to live out by Coney Island Ave… I’d rent something for $1200/month. Hell, maybe even go as high as $1600. That would not, however, get me much of a mortgage these days, even on Coney Island Ave.
And that’s what’s wrong with the market.
Housing prices are almost flat across the entire borough — by which I mean they’re all overpriced.
Because people REALLY WANT to live here in Brooklyn. That is the difference. Nobody really really wants to live in NJ or Iowa. They do it because they have to. Until that changes brooklyn will always do better because people with money have choices. Also whoever mixes $million dollar homes with subprime doesn’t understand the dynamics what a subprime mortgage entails. Most likely it’s not somebody qualifying for a $1 million mortgage or a 350k studio who suddenly can’t make the montly payment. Until there is a major rift in the economy and heads start to roll on wall street or for some reason there is a flight to the suburbs prices will rise for single family homes. And if history serves my memory on this website, the only “suckas” out there have been those calling for a crash since 2005. Keep renting and here’s hoping the landlord doesn’t decide to raise the monthly rent next year.
All you suckas are gonna lose big time. Brooklyn is gonna crash like everywhere else, keep counting.
the dynamics for brooklyn may be different than those in the NJ suburbs “at this moment,” but we’re going to follow them. NYC lagged the rest of the nation in the initial downturn, and the end of the dead cat bounce is apparently lagging as well.
bloomberg news had an article last week with “housing” and “bloodbath” in the title. how could a house in gowanus be worth $1m+ in a bloodbath? not that it won’t sell for that “at this moment”; someone has to be left holding the bag.
aonon 8:35 you must be crazy, attended an open house lately? “Lowball” is quite a ways off for brooklyn. Obviously brooklyn is not immune, but the dynamics of the current market are quite different for brooklyn right at this moment.
