- absolutely batshit crazy - Pippy Jan 17, 12:02 3
  - Oh, I'd better not talk about my place then ...... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 17, 12:04 2
    - I understand its not something you can do anything about it but it is really mind boggling -- nm - Pippy Jan 17, 12:10 1
      - it's brutal, but those 'not coming back costs' happen to everyone though - heat, water, electricity, building insurance, security if you have it. - Andie Jan 17, 12:12

      - so the EMP big dogs backed out and conceded loss to us, only to go the way of CWG and continue fighting DMN??? - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 17, 12:01 3

i *love* this pictures. Black and whites of people at home in Brooklyn, 1978 -- (link) - Andie Jan 17, 11:14 38
- That exterior shot of the houses is lovely. -- nm - mara Jan 17, 11:58

      - 30 minutes or so. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 11:58 2
        
        30-45, depending on where you're going, yeah. -- nm - znufrii Jan 17, 11:59 1
        
        I'd be okay with it. An hour is my cutoff. Anything longer is too long for me. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 12:01
      - depends on how far you are from the train, and whether you work in downtown or midtown Manhattan. -- nm - znufrii Jan 17, 11:57 6
        
        Right. But most of the neighborhoods should leave you with about a half hour ride to midtown. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 11:59 5
        
        As you know, they're not deep into Brooklyn and it shouldn't be a long commute. It'll depend on which train line is nearby. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 12:00 4
        
        I know, I lived in these neighborhoods. :) -- nm - znufrii Jan 17, 12:03 3

- I don't often see the layout where rooms adjoin other rooms. - con_carne Jan 17, 11:36 9
  - i like when all the pubic rooms connect like that, but i like bedrooms removed a little down a hall. -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 11:43 6
    - I guess it could just be the last room -- nm - con_carne Jan 17, 11:51 3
      - it could be, depending on where the 'living room' is. i don't like bedrooms off living rooms (unless it's some tiny place with no option.) -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 11:52 2
        
        Most brownstones have the living room in the front with the kitchen attached. There's usually a long, narrow hallway from - Krusty Jan 17, 12:03
        
        (or you live alone, then, who cares? no-one is going to be watching tv 3 feet from the bed while you are trying to sleep...) -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 11:52
    - ack! public! -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 11:45 1

  - Most appear to be brownstones. Those can be quite spacious. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 11:25 5
