Park Slope: The Canary in the Coalmine
When we talk about the Brooklyn neighborhoods that are likely to fair best in the market downturn, blue chips like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope are typically mentioned.

When we talk about the Brooklyn neighborhoods that are likely to fair best in the market downturn, blue chips like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope are typically mentioned. But a New York Magazine article yesterday suggests that it’s all relative. While Park Slope may be holding up better than, say, Bedford Stuyvesant, it’s evidently doing a whole lot worse than Tribeca, which is the article cites as the richest neighborhood in the city. As the chart, at right, shows (with data provided by Streeteasy), one-bedrooms are up 23% over the past year in Tribeca while they’re down 2% in the Slope; three-bedrooms are up 26% in Tribeca and down 14% in Park Slope. Does this suggest a relative weakening for Brooklyn as a whole versus Manhattan going forward?

The graph seems to indicate that there was a correction and then the prices have been pretty steady. Why is this a crash? If Park Slope crashes, so does all of brooklyn, and so does Manhattan. And even if all that happens, NY will still be here, just like it was in the late 60s, 70s and 80s. In reality, through all those other downtowns, especially when NY was really scary, lots of people still lived here, paid a lot to do it, and went to work at office jobs in Manhattan even when they lived in the suburbs– just like today. It just sucked more because there was more crime, and generally more fear and visible poverty.
ladies with strollers, especailly the ones going at a fast clip, are like tigresses protecting their young. All the hormones are churning all over the place, and you don’t mess with them or get in their way, that’s all, the species owes its survival to that sort of primordial strength. Just give them a lot of leeway, even if you’re married to them. Especially then.
stroller bashers = impotent renters
“that’s the write way to contract you are btw”
you can’t make this shit up.
What bothers me about Park Slope stroller moms is when they walk up to you on the sidewalk, spit directly in your face, poke you in the sternum HARD and say: “You are a worthless piece of shit and I will not rest until you die a torturous death.” And then they sic their kids on you with little razor blades and bottles of lemon juice. They cut you and squirt you until you’re begging them to kill you. Then that entitled bitch steps in and sticks an organic cinnamon stick up your ass, twists, and heads on her merry way. So fucking stuck up.
