Last Week's Biggest Sales
This week Brooklyn Heights flexed its muscles and blew every other neighborhood out of the water with the 82 State sale. We’re wondering if it’ll make the top 10 list for ’08’s priciest residential deals in Brooklyn. 1.

6:47 – it all depends on your definition of “convenient.” Plenty of non-poor (and quite well off) people find taking the subway far more convenient than living elsewhere in America and spending much of one’s time in a car sitting in traffic.
But not the Greater Depression NYC tour. That show will go on. Price the above sales in gold. Ouch!
Recession’s NYC tour got canceled.
Hon, trust me, the recession is coming.
So, where is the recession?
The Vermeil is ugly from the outside. No curb appeal whatsoever. Don’t know if it will improve. Shocked they got such high prices.
I’m not sure if the Vermeil is that well built. I looked at it closely while work has progressed all along.
One thing people haven’t seemed to notice: the cornice as built does not match the orig. drawings.
At least it is better than the building across the street which is very new and has calcium blooms on the brownstoning layer of (overly dark) cement.
These neighborhoods are inconvenient for all except the towncar crowd, it is difficult to keep a car in these congested neighborhoods. Poor people take buses and subways, but I’ll be damned if I do. Brooklyn sucks. I gave it a shot, but it is subway-peasant-ville. You idiots should give America a try, life is soooo much nicer there.
Bye-bye
Could you imagine how expensive Park Slope would be it it weren’t full of posters like 12:51? Incredible!
