i think this is a really important (and delicate) issue. fort greene is such a wonderfully diverse place. i’m really proud to live in a neighborhood so mixed culturally- it’s rare! but the FG public schools don’t reflect that diversity because many of the newer FG residents (people of mix races, but wealthier) are not sending their kids to the local schools. so our schools are not reflecting the diversity of our neighborhood, which is unfortunate. i think the more important question is how do we integrate the new FG residents into ps 20- rather than how do we improve ps 20 from the outside.
ltibukem, I’m not sure I get your comment. The initial comment was pro-public school, in that it mentioned the double bonus of improving FG’s PS 20. For years now, the perception that 321 is this amazing public school (it is pretty good, of course) has helped fuel real estate prices in the center slope, and being within its boundaries adds a premium to a home’s price. PS 20 just doesn’t have the same rep.
Posters haven’t written off the public schools, they’ve discussed making them better. PS 20 could be better.
Whenever folks excuse crappy schools with talk about parents not doing their job, or not instilling a work ethic, it makes me nervous. One, it sounds kind of racist and/or classist. And two, if parents in a neighborhood are failing, shouldn’t the city invest more in the school and community rather than write those kids off who had the bad luck to be born to inadequate parents?
I don’t pointer a finger, I give one. I’m just generous that way.
Won’t _you_ please give today?
i do hope the house on grand gets $1.3M, my RENOVATED two family house on the same block will be worth $2M. thank you! but alas, just a dream because there is no way that they will get $1.3M for that house.
re. schools in Fort Greene — the Fort Greene Association is, I believe, trying to get involved with PS 20 in some way. There is a relatively new principal there, too, who has been trying to forge partnerships with BAM and with the Brooklyn Museum. I don’t know how much of this so far is just talk and hope rather than action, but at least it’s a start. I too look around Fort Greene and wonder when/whether more of the newer arrivals to the neighborhood are going to start sending their kids there…it would be fantastic if a critical mass got involved.
house on 369 Grand won’t get 1.3 not even 1M I am ready to bet on that, the house
is 7 family no appraiser can bring it for a mortgage. It has to be done as a commercial loan which mean you have to put 25% down plus 400k renovation. I run all the numbers with my sources. the owner paid 763K for it may 2005.
What about this one on clifton almost 1 million. It’s “configured” as a four family. with no fire escape. Are they insane?

mr. minerva @ 3:35,
369 grand’s asking for a 70% price increase (maybe foreclosure or sale from relative/friend?) since May. What about the over 6 family status? seems overpriced like 121 st. james. cheaper, a couple of feet wider than st. james, but further away from prime and not nearly as good condition (from what we can see from either openhouse/photos).
OK, 104 HALL ASKING $895 IS WORSE THAN THE OVER A MILLION $ THE ABOVE ARE ASKING. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE DUMP, INSIDE AND OUT, AND LOCATION IS THE WORST, RIGHT NEAR THE BQE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? IF SOMEONE BUYS IT AT EVEN CLOSE TO THAT PRICE I WILL HAVE A HEART ATTACK.
