Wow. Always a beautiful day in the neighborhood in Mr. Brownstoner’s neighborhood. Be interesting to read an informed (and maybe less openly racist) person comment about schools in Ditmas Park. I suspect parents there do what my friends and I do in Clinton Hill, choose between focusing on building the local school (such as 20 or 11) or snag a spot in a stronger out of zone school (as I did with my son at 261 in Boerum Hill). I have nothing but praise for the public school teachers who have taught my son. But hey, that’s just my experience – why let that get in the way of union-bashing and xenophobia? I really wonder sometimes why some posters on this site chose to live in NYC given their fears of those unlike themselves and their unwillingness to embrace urban life challenges as part and parcel of living in a cosmopolitan city.
Yes, to paraphrase M.T. rob, the problem with handouts is eventually you run out of other people’s money to handout.
“i applied for another 3 month forebearance from the direct government loans because according to obama, we might not have to pay them back anyway if we dont want to!”
So you’re waiting for a handout from the federal government even though you’ve already gotten your education and now you expect it to be forgiven because instead of getting a better job or working harder, you decide to post on a blog all day.
Yet you want this house to pay more taxes.
I guess to cover the loans you hope you don’t have to pay back.
Talk about entitled. Just like all the rest, aren’t ya Rob.
oh will please stop it with that already? i have been paying off my private loans!! i am totally up to date on them. i applied for another 3 month forebearance from the direct government loans because according to obama, we might not have to pay them back anyway if we dont want to! so im waiting it out with that and stretch repayment as much as i can.

I hope winelovers daughter falls in love with and marries an illegal Mexican.
Unfortunatley i find myself agreeing with him on the motivation level of a lot of the union school teachers.
But, I digress. I’m not loving all the money that they spent on that master bath in 19th Street.
oh whatever, i got straight A’s in school (i know very hard to believe). maybe i went to a special needs school and didnt know it, right?
and lol @ being born with the proper balance of chemicals in their brain.
all im saying is that property taxes for single family homes need to come more in line with reality in order to fund the schools properly. people are always complaining about paying 30K a year to send their kids to private school, yet they are paying basically NOTHING in taxes! so dont complain, their private segegrated education is essentially FREE!
*rob*
and our public schools would be 10x better if taxes on ridiculously humongous houses like this were taxed fairly. the year tax on this house should be 20K a year. not 6K.

From someone who won’t pay off his student loans.
“Dave, thanks, $6,200 a year is cheap. A house like this in Montclair, NJ would have something like a $30,000 a year tax bill.”
But Montclair, unlike NYC, doesn’t collect city income tax. So depending on what your house is worth and what your income is, you might do better out there.
Rob –
really – please do not comment on the school system
you have no idea
it’s not racial. would you want your kid in a school with violent kids, slow language learners (or no english – seriously), or union school teachers who are used to doing very little because the low income or illegal alien parents apply zero pressure to them and they get away with everything, or kids who are sometimes 2-3 or more grade levels behind your kid?
it’s entirely about the education/socio economic levels of the parents not race. there are some totally f’ed up people raising children in the city. i’ve seen out of control, mean, violent and just really disturbed kids in pre-k! luckily it’s been like 1 or 2 kids – imagine a 5th grade class full of that.
imagine your daughter sexually pressured or attacked or your son fighting just to get home after school.
