I hate going there but that's because of the white political and community power structures, and the time is worse for me because I'm reverse commuting at rush hour. But if you can stay in an immigrant neighborhood, enjoy the food and stores and street life, and not have to deal with people who scream racist slurs and complain openly about new New Yorkers taking "their" schools, homes, etc, it would probably be fine.

i very likely wd go to Jax Hts (if i found anything affordable) or adjoining nabes before the Bklyn boonies.
The Times Real Estate sec... WHY do i look at it? Brad and Margaret from Park Slope bought a fixer-upper in SUNSET PARK WEST (yes, it's been split now), and they are renting out the ground floor unit for $1900 / month.

maybe this shit is super obvious/old, but a friend just pointed out to me the irony of people eating only organic food, refusing to use hygiene products with "toxins" etc. while living on the gowanus canal.

i think where i live is more accurately categorized as "college town" or maybe "small city" i did (partially) grow up in suburbia tho and its p boring i guess not too much going on and even that was "inner suburb" with public transpo, bordered the big city and so forth

At 7 DeKalb, a new 23-story tower atop the City Point mall complex, the landlord is offering two months of free rent with a 14-month lease, and use of the building’s fitness center and other amenities for a year without charge. That means a one-bedroom, one-bathroom place can be had for $3,428 a month
This is not even remotely my price range and doesn't do ANYTHING for my housing market.

bookcourt put out a press release but didnt say why they were closing, they own the building btw

Maybe they just felt done with the business and wanted to take advantage of the higher rents they could get, or sell the building and retire or something.

re: retiring i don't think they're THAT old, or so old that they couldn't scale back their own hours (they already have worker bees) and just live THAT way. Also closing in 3 weeks is a really short window for an announcement if ur finna clean house and empty the store for a new tennant. I bet it's gonna be a turnkey sale
