Just great. The views will be amazing though.

...what is that large blob by the Billyburg bridge?

It's Extell's new tower at the Pathmark site.

Darn it, LL, I though Lofter was back after seeing his avatar

. Nice gesture, though

. It's been too long...

I hate to say it, Merry, but I fear the worst for our man, Lofter. Apparently, he had a heart condition.

**Merry** · January 20th, 2015, 10:57 PM

Yes, I remember the last time Lofter was absent and he told us about it. Let's all keep hoping for the best.

I agree, Merry. Maybe he's enjoying a nice long trip to a tropical paradise!

Ah yes, the classic, "If we just keep our neighborhood crappy enough no one will want to live here, and it'll stay cheap" argument. How's that working out for any other number of neighborhoods in any other number of cities experiencing development pressure.

We have seen this 'community opposition' real estate drama played out a thousand times on these very forums: I will never fathom exactly what the 'arguments' or objections are actually about - so will remain a dispassionate observer. That being said: it usually all works out just fine in the end.....
