James, what business do you even have in here?

This fearmongering is exactly why New York continues to have a bad reputation among some. Sure, Avenue C and D aren't perfect, but who goes that far...

I just don't get why you're set on Brooklyn Heights. It's geographically a very small neighborhood, and there are fewer and fewer rentals. I just think it's an exercise in futility when Cobble...

I definitely don't agree with Red Hook or Alphabet City being classified as unsafe.

I was mugged in Bed-Stuy a few weeks ago, but I'm still not going to avoid it. This is the price you pay for...

I am not being rude, I am being truthful.

MrSpice is quite obviously looking for affirmation, not for anything other than for his beliefs to be upheld. I'm sorry, but I can't sympathize/

They ended up putting a Starbucks even further into Washington Heights so I guess it's a moot point.

God, people like MrSpice deserve to live in the Upper East Side, because their lack of street smarts don't permit to live anywhere else.

If it was really that big a concern, then you could move...

Cobble Hill Cinema of course...

Regarding South Williamsburg, it is NOT an italian area. It is heavily Puerto Rican in the areas between the bridge and Metropolitan, and southeast of that, and it is mostly Chassidic Jewish south...

You listed a large list of which roughly a third were Mitchell-Lama, the rest were not. I guess I didn't know that Soundview had anything approaching middle-income housing.

Mitchell-Lama? I don't think anything built in those neighborhoods was based on Mitchell-Lama rules. Parkchester is an example of Mitchell-Lama, it's not low-income housing at all.

Not a single Whole Foods in NYC has been built in a recently-gentrified area - Chelsea, Union Square, and Columbus Circle have been expensive areas for some time. And I've never heard of Whole Foods...

I don't have the time or energy to reply with actual quotes, Bxone, but there have been threads on Skyscraperpage.com and you've freely admitted to not having visited the neighborhoods in a long...

I've eaten at Lorelay several times. My mom is from Germany and I can attest their food is authentic, especially their kaesespaetzle and their gulash. Good pick.

My first place was in Hoboken when I moved to the NYC area. I *hated* it. Absolutely hated it.

Sure, the brownstones were pretty, the waterfront nice, and all of the asian-fusion restaurants...

The Bowery is not really a dining destination. However, within 5 minutes walk in each direction, no matter where on the Bowery you are, you're close to hundreds of great restaurants in the E.V.,...

Schadenfrau, Bxone frequents another message board I visit, and his sole purpose there is to try and make the Bronx seem worse than it is. He hasn't even left his immediate area in months, if not...

Vinegar Hill is a very small neighborhood - I don't think there are any houses for sale anymore, but there are a lot of condos and lofts being built between V.H. and DUMBO. Basically, the two are...

They do - you can find something as long as you're not irrational about being on 7th, 8th, PPW, or north of 9th street.

Try 5th ave, 4th ave, or south slope (prospect ave area) or windsor terrace.

There are two Duane Reades next to eachother: one at 40th in PABT and then the one at 42nd.

It's still small potatoes compared to the downtown area in terms of development. I never said Journal Square would not turn around, but it further out, slightly less convenient to the city, and full...

Alex_ballard, I thought I would share with you some of my experiences in the JC rental market. I very nearly moved into JC instead of Brooklyn...

Newport and any new construction in downtown JC...

I wouldn't say that Journal Square is 'booming'. There aren't many new businesses in that part of town, nor is there any real new construction. Most of the urban renewal came in the 1970's.

It...

Depends on your income bracket. I think someone making $40K a year would expect about 20% in federal, 7% in NY state, and maybe 5% in city?

I'm not fortunate enough to have any of the fancy places near me. There's a D'Ag's on 7th Ave in Park Slope, but D'Ags is highly overrated.

I basically just go to the Gowanus Pathmark or the...

There's a thrift store in paterson new jersey called the "WHY YOU PAY MORE THRIFTY SHOP"
