House of the Day: 428 East 18th Street
Any house under a million bucks these days is going to come with its set of drawbacks. In the case of 428 East 18th Street, the list appears to include some less-than-attractive siding and a lack of privacy in the backyard. If you can get beyond those two things, though, this place might start to…
Any house under a million bucks these days is going to come with its set of drawbacks. In the case of 428 East 18th Street, the list appears to include some less-than-attractive siding and a lack of privacy in the backyard. If you can get beyond those two things, though, this place might start to look good to you. The house is priced at $899,000 but we hear that the highest offer to come in so far is around $820,000, so it sounds like there’s some room to wheel and deal. We’re digging the nice floors and the two-car garage (with plumbing!). How’s this block in general?

Actually “We are sexy, thin, rich AND care about education.” sounds like a bunch of Europeans I know.
The posts at 12:58 and 3:16 encourage me to add another personality trait to my list of what Americans are becoming – vapid shallow narcissists.
Ask any European. They’ll tell you. Gladly.
I hope this concludes the discussion, The house is up for sale, and whoever is interested can contact Brooklyn Hearth, Brooklyn Properties, Brooklyn Real, Mary Kay, Dan Shapiro and others.
Happy bidding!
12:58 agrees with 2:34 and not with 2:06
if everyone looked after themselves who could, we wouldn’t be in a pickle would we?
Well good for you, 12:58. As long as you fit that description, who cares about what is happening to the rest of the country, huh?
We are sexy, thin, rich AND care about education. We are a well read, thoughtful family of hotties, lol. The two are not mutually exclusive.
The idea that it’s all about how much money the schools have, come from the teacher’s unions. Teachers get blamed by parents for low test scores, so teachers in turn blame the city for not giving them enough money.
How is it “The Greatest Generation” were educated mostly in tiny country schools, or city schools without much money or amenities. But our generation is suddenly having a problem with the schools? It ain’t the schools, people. Our entire culture is anti-intellectual, that’s the problem. The best school on the planet can’t counteract the effect of retards like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan on tweenie girls. Or the effect of rapper thugs and violent video games on young boys. I sound like a Republican but I’m not. I’m just someone who has noticed intelligence is not a trait that is valued in American society anymore. Only being sexy or thin or rich.
plenty of (ignored) studies show that parental involvement in child education has a much bigger effect than the school they attend (bar extreme cases). Its not fashionable to say so tho, so lets blame the schools.
