  1. Also, I apologize Erin if I sounded hostile! What a strange exchange. This site does that to me sometimes. I’m going to wrench myself away to rejoin my husband and watch a movie on the telly. Goodnight.

  2. Well okay, you’re not a realtor, 10:27, but you are as you admit someone involved with promoting the neighborhood. So I was not way off. So I still won’t eat my shoe. Not yet. Sorry. That said, good for you for promoting your neighborhood and being proud of it.

  3. I generally don’t sign my name, for that very reason, 9:58. But you better like the taste of shoe leather. Although I am involved in the campaign to landmark Victorian Flatbush, I really am not a realtor or a developer. Run a check if you don’t believe me! I just honestly think that Brooklyn College is a good bet for young families. And judging how prices have soard in other parts of the neighborhood over the years, bargains won’t last too much longer.

  4. Oh but I should add in the midst of all this I’m not bashing the neighborhood of Brooklyn College; quite the contrary I think everything from the Park on down through PLG and Victorian Flatbush and Ditmas and all is a good buy.

  5. 1:48 here, and I’m not a competitor of MKG nor a realtor of any kind. I just happened to notice she repped the house that sold in the Brooklyn College area, also that area is one of her specialties, also she HAS posted on this site in the past, also the sentence “This is an excellent neighborhood for families… get in while it’s still reaonable!” sounds so much like a realtor that if it isn’t one I’ll eat my shoe. As for being Anonymous on this site, has anyone noticed how nasty it gets here? I’d never sign my name.
