There’s reality for yah. What do you Brownstone lovers think now?
2:39 for you:
The intervening year (2007) was chaotic and violent in this pocket of Brooklyn. As the citywide murder rate was dropping to its lowest level in decades, murder was on the rise in four neighborhoods here: Brownsville, East New York, Bushwick, and Bedford-Stuyvesant. Together, these adjacent police precincts in northeastern Brooklyn accounted for nearly a fifth of the city’s murders and almost half the borough’s. The police scanner rang out with these locales all year: a teen shot in the head in Bushwick Houses; two teens and a 21-year-old gunned down on Brownsville’s Lott Avenue, the site of at least three shootings; a 16-year-old pounded with two slugs to the chest in Bed-Stuy’s Tompkins Houses. On it went
Sackett St – ‘septic tank issues’? I rather doubt septic tanks exist in NYC.
Also – crouchback – not so sure how ‘down’ the market is.
I follow the Corcoran listings in the area – and they seem to have all gone into contract lately. Including ones discussed on this blog and of course dismissed as overpriced (and believe it or not people actually got mortgages!, mr what) .
P.S. I’m not sure people are feeding the troll as in she is talking back and forth to herself pretending to argue.
A septic tank? In Brooklyn?
Depending on the location on the block the house might have sewer back up issues which is part of the charm of living close to the Gowanus. Aside from that, it is a great block with many nice families.
The location of the Sackett St. house isn’t bad — it’s a pretty nice block, although NOT zoned for the good Carroll Gardens elementary school. The condition of the house does matter. I wouldn’t dismiss it entirely just because of the facade — it does look like it was once a brownstone, just with that ugly siding put over that was popular in some bygone era in CG. That can be restored (although not that cheaply). So, what’s a good price for a 3-story house that needs lots of work? $900,000? $1 million?
Actually, compared to that HOTD on 3rd place listed at 3.5 million for 3 stories, this is a bargain. (I’m just kidding).
Oh, dear God, here we go again.
First of all, 2:27, you are an unmitigated ass, and you’ve probably never set foot in any lower income neighborhood in your entire life. Welfare queens? Puleeze.
Secondly, and more importantly, “a few well intended artists and middle class families” ARE the people, along with a healthy sized population of decent folks who have been in these communities for years, who change neighborhoods every day, all across the country. Who do you think does it? Millionaires? The city? Corcoran?
We claim and reclaim our neighborhoods house by house, block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood. It happened in Park Slope, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights, Boerum Hill, and is happening in Bed Stuy, Crown Heights, PLG, Flatbush, Bushwick and elsewhere.
You want to argue about pricing in the hood? Fine. We can. We can talk about crime or anything else, too, if it can be discussed in a rational manner, instead of this constant bashing of people in our communities who take great pride in keeping and creating safe and desirable homes for themselves and their families.
1:49 – we are well into the season of bonus communication and payout. Even for firms that communicate late – bonuses will be paid out long before any of these prporties could close.
2:43.
I live in Park Slope.
Thank you for the concern, though.
“I just know I only want to live in a charming old building.”
Is that worth your safey and that of your family?
