Wolcott "Piece o' Crap" Still On Market
We were interested (but not surprised) to see that no one has touched the two spec houses on Wolcott across from the Red Hook Houses since we last went by in September. With the market softening, we suspect a lot of this crap is just going to wither on the vine. No Takers For Red…

No Takers For Red Hook Piece o’ Crap [Brownstoner] GMAP
and how do these stupid people find all this cashish?
what i dont understand is WHO buys these? is it a bunch of poorish people that pool their money and live 5 to a bedroom. i dont know anyone that has that kind of monthly income to afford an 800k building… wit such BAD taste. and its not even taste, you almost have to be stupid.
Excellent post, OldMillBasin. What you say is true and is needed to help break the posters on this board out of their yuppie bubble. Alas, the follow-up posts only demonstrate just how shallow people are.
I know someone who bought one of these shoddily constructed homes. The quality is just horrible, you can see where the sheetrock was taped. There is water cascading through the walls and puddles in the basement. I have witnessed this problem with several of these homes. There ought to be some law against this type of mostrousity. There is a place in Flatbush where one house was torn down, a couple more burnt, just to put up 11(!) of these homes.

Some developers are totally out of touch with what affluent buyers want.
For the same money, they could have easly built something that looked 1000% better.
The arched windows in the Harlem fugly are not centered. It seems like the developers try and cut costs by not providing rulers/levelers for their contractors. My previous home was a fugly and it seemed like nothing was even or leveled. I’m happy to see that people’s standards are higher and they’re not buying these houses.
quit picking on Red Hook, will ya! It’s one of the oldest parts of the original Dutch village of Breukelen and it doesn’t even have a landmark district and the Historic District Council could care less.
Yes, the buildings are U-G-L-Y, but why don’t all you smarty pants scribers help launch a landmark/rezoning campaign for RH which builds upon its existing vernacular architecture.
These are awful but this one

in Harlem is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve walked past a few times and it makes me want to tear my eyes from my head. It is also unsold. I guess it’s nice to know that there’s a bottom to this market. Too bad this is where it is.
