Comments on: New to Market: Bridge St Loft and J Condo Studio (13Sept07) http://dumbonyc.com/2007/09/13/ntm-13sept07/ Notes from the DUMBO, Brooklyn NY neighborhood Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:15:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Peter S http://dumbonyc.com/2007/09/13/ntm-13sept07/comment-page-1/#comment-44201 Peter S Thu, 24 Sep 2009 04:55:36 +0000 http://dumbonyc.com/2007/09/13/ntm-13sept07/#comment-44201 I don't know, but I want to make a friend in J CONDO so I can see what all the hype is about. Also a 70 Washington friend would be nice too, preferrably one with a 325k cabana. Anyone from these buildings want to hangout with a 42 Main St. guy?

I read this blog entry everyday at work and it fuels my animosity towards these people. I will visit the neighborhood precinct and see what we can do. I plan to print the comments posted on this thread and highlight the major complaints and harassment testimonials for them to read. I want these people out by the end of this year. I want to spend my year 2008 without worrying that my girlfriend will be in danger when she walks the dog or stops by P&P at night. Seriously this needs to stop. I noticed that there are a new generation of panhandlers in the neighborhood and someone needs to take action before it gets out of hand. Better to stop it now than waiting until someone gets hurt. My email is petersunwoo@gmail.com I don’t mind having a neighborhood meeting in my apartment in 42 Main Street. All those that care about the issue are welcome to come. Any weekend is good or weekday after 8pm is cool with me. Tell me what you guys think. Lets stop talking and finally take some action. RESPONSE TO: PANHANDLERS/SAFETY IN DUMBO ENTRY

Look at it from the street if you don't believe me. "The mirror in the bathroom is tiny"...the mirror is a deciding factor in a 500K apartment! "The floor in the bathroom is cheap"...???umm no, it's not. "The furnishings are high quality, but not awesome".....awesome? You're whole rant on the building just seems so um, well i'll just quote you: "It’s not good people!"

I do like your idea of getting more restaurants or food vendors into the area. The area seems very limited in terms of variety and having the freedom to choose restaurants from a variety of price ranges. Peter S.

" seems very short sighted in terms of light and open views of the sky. i live on this side of j condo and i look out to 180 degrees of endless sky. sure i can stand at my window’s edge and look down a the parking lot but that’s not what most people will do. all one sees is sky from any point in the apartment. the parking lot will most certainly be developed at some point but to say “Why would anybody want to wake up every day to a view of a disgusting parking lot? ” seems very short sighted in terms of light and open views of the sky.

It's not good people! Why would anybody want to wake up every day to a view of a disgusting parking lot? Seriously? The furnishings are high quality, but not awesome. The mirror in the bathroom is tiny. The floor in the bathroom is cheap. The black countertop is sinister and darkens the room along with the dark wood. Upon entering the room, you're struck by the odd shape as it its much longer than it is wide. The amenities in the building are alright, but the building has a TON of people, so don't expect to be the only person partaking. Altogether, its definitely not worth the money.

We looked at a 2 bdrm (just cause we were curious) on the 19th floor. The living room/dining area and kitchen were really nice, but the second room was very oddly shaped -- all walls on angles. It would have been very hard to fit a bed in there with other furniture. I also think they cheaped out on the shower floor by not doing tile. Just my humble opinion.

You need to move over to Fort Greene, we have all that stuff. It's one of the rare neighborhoods that strikes a very good balance between new fancy retail/dining and good old-fashioned Brooklyn stores. Brooklyn Renaissance, what are you doing in DUMBO?
