He had a knack for scoping out and buying properties on the East and West side fairly cheaply and then doing nothing with them. Thanks to him, a lot of gentrification demolition was forestalled, esp. in the West Village.<br /><br />Unfortunately, about ten years ago, Gottlieb passed away. His sisters spent the following years fighting over his estate and divvying up his holdings. Judging by the sign on this lot and on the house Gottlieb owned on East Tenth Street, it looks like the sisters are looking for their big payday.chris flashhttp://shadowpress.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-14473115163420821912011-11-26T20:06:22.328-05:002011-11-26T20:06:22.328-05:00so, the "public" sold this land that WE ...so, the "public" sold this land that WE all owned to this guy, he does NOTHING with it for 12 years and now he gets to make over 9million in profit off of re-selling it? there's something very wrong about this equation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-9882238655542503512011-11-26T18:06:06.730-05:002011-11-26T18:06:06.730-05:00Amazinnng!!!Amazinnng!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-63251698887251362011-11-26T15:25:56.239-05:002011-11-26T15:25:56.239-05:00i vote for the mystery lot. just cause of all the ...i vote for the mystery lot. just cause of all the interesting mystery creatures inhabiting it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-22953711150924457862011-11-26T14:57:36.108-05:002011-11-26T14:57:36.108-05:00Which is the more attractive piece of property?
