Six Months Later: Open House Picks 6/29/07
Comment: Makes sense the Clinton Hill manse would take a while to sell, though you have to wonder how realistic the price is. If anyone has info on the Bay Ridge listing, drop a line. Open House Picks 6/29/07 [Brownstoner]

Thank you, worried property owner in Manhattan, at 12:07. Buy at astronomical prices in Manhattan if you want. But if there is a recession or depression which now looks likely to happen, it’s those who bought relatively moderately priced houses with rental income in Brooklyn who will be the ones less scared. Besides, Manhattan gets the crazies and freaks. Like the loonies running around with knives randomly attacking people. Which happened like 3 times in the last year or two. And there are plenty shootings in Manhattan, come on, get real.
Park Slope is the whitest neighborhood in brooklyn. I really don’t know how people can see it as diverse. I guess people who live there love to praise their neighborhood with lies.
The recent fatal shootings in Crown Heights and Clinton Hill have a chilling effect on all of Brownstone Brooklyn. Even the reporters at the NYT, who should know better, do not know one Brooklyn Neighborhood from another as they misidentified Classon Ave as being in Fort Greene. It’s bad. Especially coming so close to each other and during the holidays.
We live here and we feel safe but is it really as safe as we let ourselves believe? Maybe our friends in Manhattan have a point, Brooklyn is still pretty scary and the stray bullets still fly.
funny, very funny!
I think some of the people who post to this site could benefit mightily from a Hispanic nanny. Or an African-American one. Or a really strict English one.
Especially if she produces a whip, slowly removes her horn-rims, and lets down her hair with a provocative toss.
How old are you people?
They INHERITED their wealth, sometimes by dubious means.
I know a Park SLope couple who hired a Black nanny rather than an Hispanic one because they did not want their precious to start “talking with an accent”.”
if true that is one of the most moronic things i’ve ever heard.
That is not how language acquisition works, at all.
How people who are so stupid manage to get rich enough to afford nannies is a mystery to me.
On nannies: Just because your kid has a Latina nanny does not at all mean he’s going to get a Latin accent, any more than he would get a Carribbean or British accent. Hopefully you, as parents, would still spend more time with the kid than the hired guns, no?
Meanwhile, the kid learns valuable second language skills. Sounds like a pretty big bonus to me.
