One of them might be considered significant in that it was once used as a synagogue. <br /><br />Word around the neighbourhood is that they are preserving the facade and building an extra story of 'luxury condo / apartments' on the lot. <br /><br />Who it is that wants to spend top dollar to live on such a Ghetto block is beyond me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-67219044800760962792010-11-22T16:18:45.462-05:002010-11-22T16:18:45.462-05:00funny thing is, most people, like myself, do not g...funny thing is, most people, like myself, do not give a shit just like the city.<br /><br />City- 1<br /><br />NIMBYs- OAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-78862138572761127612010-11-22T16:17:57.551-05:002010-11-22T16:17:57.551-05:00BURN THEM DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the crappy looking building gets torn down.<br /><br />if somebody tore it down and replaced it with an ugly glass facade or some other nouveau building crap (think new cooper union building) you'd probably be the first to stand on line and pay $3,000 for a "modern" 3 bedroom on a quaint, charming, etc. etc. tree lined block.blue glassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-72604452318603431812010-11-20T13:16:37.782-05:002010-11-20T13:16:37.782-05:00It is a shame that the owners of these buildings c...It is a shame that the owners of these buildings couldn't maintain them in the first place. They have become an eyesore rather than the charming gems they once were.<br /><br />I don't know the answer. It's just a shitty shame all around. I wish I COULD buy them up and keep them intact, restore them to their former glory. But hell, I have trouble maintainingng my own apartment -- real estate taxes have gone through the fricking roof in this city.VH McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15758245677856344651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-53011782618507082832010-11-20T02:48:10.596-05:002010-11-20T02:48:10.596-05:00That first cooment is indicative of exactly why NY...That first cooment is indicative of exactly why NYC is losing it's soul to big business. Everyone gets so caught up in the rat race that this kind of "succeed or get out of the way" attitude permeates every aspect of the city. Hell, even in the wake of the 2008 drubbing of wall street that revealed all their crimes against our economy, big NYC business hasn't missed a beat and the hubris is back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-35616133025829558612010-11-19T16:33:38.961-05:002010-11-19T16:33:38.961-05:00Boohoo.

So the crappy looking building gets torn down.<br /><br />The worst part about it though is all you busy-bodies that want to preserve these buildings even though its not your property.
