A gas stove in 2023?
Yes, in case the power goes out, you can still EAT! 😋
To ban gas heat and gas stoves is beyond foolish. The ban will lead to rolling brown outs in the near future as the grid becomes too stressed and as Chrisopher suggested, it will be those with gas hookups that will be better off.
I do not like that bathroom layout—the sink/vanity beside the tub is not cool—that little gap will be filthy and eventually rot! Should be sink-WC-bath!
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR WHOM?
THIS IS A JOKE RIGHT?
YOU’RE JOKING WITH US RIGHT?
THIS IS A FAKE ARTICLE RIGHT?
YOU’RE KIDDING RIGHT?
OK I GOT IT YOU MEANT TO SAY MARKET RATE HOUSING SUBSIDY FOR UPPER INCOME RESIDENTS
Damn, guesser—we thought you was dead! Glad you also tagged Gowanus building! Happy (late) 4th! 🇺🇸
Ughh that sucks, it was so peaceful and quiet without Guesser while it lasted. Get ready for more fuming nonsensical rants and repetitive capital-lettered paragraphs fired towards everyone on Yimby 😭😤

Alex ,
“Go fck yourself you arrogant c unt”
is that the way you talk to other women in your life or your family, when you get upset by a comment on a website? Are you that demeaning to all women?
Bully? for making a sarcastic comment on a website?
Hyperbole over the top blsht
wow sorry I have the power to ruin your day
You’re a loser
Oh those poor people who only make $101,000-146,000 where CAN they find places to live. This city and the government that give real estate a break are jokes. I’ve lived here 40 years. My rent has doubled and my income has been halved. No one is offering us a damn thing. I have grown to hate this city and the uber rich that run it
How much is the rent
150k and you’re still considered a low income
