Ms. Charlton of Clos-ette says a new feature she's including in recent designs is a "virtual styling tool" consisting of computer screens and iPads set up in the closet so people can work remotely with a stylist who has a visual inventory of their clothes to scroll through.

Have almost certainly seen this exact story done by the Times before, but this one is worth it for perfectly crafted one-sentence paragraphs, like:
“For the record,” she said, after stepping off an elevator shared with a man in a suit and a woman with an enthusiastic bichon frisé, “I have never seen those people before.”
and
Our next-door neighbors were absolutely lovely, and we saw them maybe once a year,” said a former resident at 25 Columbus Circle, the south tower of the Time Warner Center, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “Most people don’t actually live there.”

He needed more convincing. “Nicole brought me up here kicking and screaming,” Mr. McNeil recalled. But he was won over once he saw a rambling three-story, five-bedroom Victorian with a wraparound porch for $860,000. There was even space for a basement rec room. And it was only a 40-minute drive to his Brooklyn studio.

of course it's a thing! people have ipads and kindles, and they buy books on them and then read those books to their kids, they are things from which you can read a book, just that it's upperclass families that tend to have them. so sure, some well-off ppl read books, and keep the ipad in the whatever ipad holder, but most ppl are reading from books as a matter of course. what's weird is that the nyfnt is touting not-reading-actual-physical-books as some kind of looming threat to childhood development, when the greater danger is not being read to in the first place
“Somehow, I think it’s different,” she said. “When you read a book, a proper kid’s book, it engages all the senses. It’s teaching them to turn the page properly. You get the smell of paper, the touch.”

Wow, only $860,000. Thank god there's still a place in the area low-income creative professionals can afford.

if yuppies are going to drop $860K on a home, better it should be a Victorian than the usual cookie-cutter condos.
but that's me being a snob talking.
