houseYowza! Guess the market can’t be that weak. We just got a tip that the brick beauty at 236 Dean that we wrote about last week has already been snatched up. From our tipster: “There were 6 bids for 236 Dean in one week and it went for 1.8 in cold cash from a city buyer.” This should not be a big surprise: We, along with most of the commenters, were quite bullish on this place. We also got some more deets on the condition: “It was rock solid on the inside, though only about 70% completed and with no plumbing.” Very interesting indeed.
ect. Really beautiful though.

  1. superanon – the fact that you posted that semi-coherent drivel at 5:54 in the morning arouses in me sincere concern for your mental condition. i can see you now, sitting in the same room you grew up in somewhere in canarsie, bathed in the sickly pre-dawn glow of your computer screen, surfing brownstoner, typing with frenzied, pathological zeal. that’s some disturbing shit. get some sleep man, the internet is open 24 hours. and that’s fucked up what you did to jonbenet ramsey too.

  2. You can’t destroy anything because rants and self-satisfied, egomaniacal crowing do not constitute a valid contribution to a debate, despite what you may believe. Frankly it’s not worth my time to even discuss it with you because you are incapable of being mature, respectful or even intelligent about it. This thread’s done for me. Rant away s.anon- make all the noise you’re capable of. And that’s all it is- noise.

  3. Huh? I simply destroyed your argument. Put forth a better argument and perhaps next time you won’t feel so insulted. IMHO, you insulted yourself by making such ridiculous assertions.

  4. So much for being allowed to have your own opinion in this country. When did you become such an opinion-nazi, superanon? And how is it you’re incapable of responding except by insults and sarcasm? Have a different opinion than I do? Fine- how about responding like a grown-up instead of a 5 year old?

  5. No- just the insults and idiotic commentary. – Superanon. You definitely prove the axiom, if you don’t have a good argument, bait, insult and distract.Frankly there isn’t anything super about you at all.

  6. Franz and Jenny, are you kidding me?!? Will Brooklyn support the Nets?!? You guys obviously know nothing about sports, basketball or a little thing called “Brooklyn Pride”! The Brooklyn Nets (and surely the Devils too) will be one of the most successful sport franchises in the country, if not the world. Every sport writer in town has stated this obvious fact! Every business person who is involved in pro sport management has stated this obvious fact! But now two renowned sport pundits, Franz and Jennyanne, are predicting that Brooklyn will not support the Nets! Ha ha ha! Do guys even you read the sport pages? The Nets will be sold out for many many years. What happened when the Mets joined MLB or the Jets joined the NFL? Did New Yorkers not support these franchises? Know your history.

    “No one forgives Jersey for stealing the Jets and the Giants. Long long memories in NYC fans. IMHO :-)”

    Ha ha ha ha!! Are you serious? The Jets and Giants are still NY’s team and are overwhelmingly supported by New Yorkers! Despite playing across the river, no one on this planet, including the league, team owners or players consider them New Jersey teams (it’s not even part of the team name). When the Giants win the Super Bowl where’s the parade, in Downtown Newark? No, it’s in New York on Broadway! You just shot yourself in the foot with this absurd statement and made it obvious to everyone on this board that you are clueless. Please, no more commentary from you two. It’s embarassing… 🙁

  7. The argument, anon at 10:27, is that they are claiming it’s much more convenient to take public transportation to the arena. You, however have just pointed out how convenient it is for cars. We all know there are options- the idea was which options were “better.”

    Franz- that’s really interesting. So what happens to his rationale for the arena then? And Will Bklyn Knicks fans change their loyalty? FOr a Jersey team? I don’t think so- they’re still pissed at the Dodgers for deserting, and no one forgives Jersey for stealing the Jets and the Giants. Long long memories in NYC fans. IMHO 🙂

  8. sorry to debase the intellectual quality of this debate, but the real question regarding AY is whether the legions of died in the wool brooklyn based knick fans will suddenly shift their battle hardened allegience to a contrived local franchise. ratner has recently tried to sell off a quarter of his share in the team. that tells me that he may be starting to question the viability of AY’s cornerstone – the basketball team.
