  1. 11:54, I think the original post was going for irony. Unless I’m mistaken, the person who said that about South Slope being Manhattan was saying he thought people who are paying over a million for tiny South Slope houses are those who only buy in already established hot neighborhoods, and are too conformist to venture into up and coming neighborhoods and get more space for less money.

  2. hey 2:34 “you didn’t make your point” I guess you were one of those kids in school who struggled identifying the main idea and figuring out who were the main characters of a short story.
    a small frame house in the slope=1.3 million
    a large brownstone in clinton hill or bedstuy double
    the sqaure footage= 700-900k
    laughing at people foolish enough to follow the leader ( over paying for the slope) and afraid to set trends (bedstuy-clinton hills)= priceless

    try again and see if you can get the underlying meaning this time. good luck to you

  4. No, anon 9:05, you are wrong. The border of Clinton Hill and Bed Stuy is Classon. However, I’m going to take the position that it *should* be Bedford, and perhaps start calling it that way, too.

  5. 5:13, are you basing your comment on the above photo? I visited this house and held the siding in my hand. IT IS PLASTIC. As far as a “brownstone facade”, I have no idea what you’re talking about. It is not a brownstone. Do you mean it is a row house?

  6. oh…and by the way, lefferts is absolutely in clinton hill. it’s clinton hill to bedford ave. although i’m seeing plenty of houses between bedford/nostrand listed as clinton hill. who cares anyway?

  7. anon 1:12, you are genious!
