The Sterling Place house is on a pretty ugly block. Right off Flatbush, two houses away from a Christ Scientist church that is kinda creepy.
No yard. Prudential just won’t drop the price.
sorry…i meant westchester has a city…white plains…which is doing quite well. read the article, you’ll see…
Westchester is talked about in the article at 3:18. It is a city and is not like most suburbs. It has become very urban.
Places like that are doing well because of it.
But look at Long Island, New Jersey outside of the immediate NYC metro area and you will see major problems starting to arise now.
These areas are lacking funding, losing jobs, suffering from housing prices dropping by as much as 20% and have people who simply don’t want to be there as much as they used to.
Westchester is a model for what the next generation of suburbs will look like. You can’t use that to compare every suburb to, though.
I really like the Sterling place house, but might prefer one of the three for sale on Lincoln place. All seem overpriced though. Any bets on what these houses sell for?
Look at Europe which is a society which is much more evolved in many ways and has been around much longer.
There are no huge McMansions sprouting in the suburbs of London, Zurch, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Madrid or Berlin. They are city people and that’s why real estate is expensive in many of those cities (not Berlin, but it’s rising fast). Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark…these countries are leading the way towards a greener earth and have already made the leap to an urban society.
This is what is now FINALLY happening in the U.S.
The only reason everyone left the cities in the first place was to escape African Americans.
Now that we become a less racist society, things are changing.
For the better in many ways.
3:22. I can’t speak for all suburbs, but I spend a fair amount time visiting my brother and his family in Westchester. They are very social people with lots of friends and are very active in their community. Since they moved there 7 years ago prices have far more than doubled and there has been an explosion of new stores, restaurants, an art museum, and an art film center in their area. Does it compare to the changes in Brooklyn? No. But there have been very noticeable improvements in the quality of life in their suburb. And, for the record, their area is relatively rural, and not at all an urban suburb. These global generalizations you make are totally absurd.
3:24 u wish.
The facts will come, 3:22. The trend is just starting in the past 10 years. It’s in its infancy.
Come 2030, these outlying suburbs will be desolate.
This is GOOD news, as far as I’m concerned.
Sprawling suburbs are the sure fire way to kill this planet as fast as we can.

Gowanus. Greenpoint. Williamsburg.
