Sunnyside is still cheaper than gentrifying Brooklyn neighborhoods, I think? Tho prices def have gone up over the last few years. We have a nice 1br for under 1400.
Morbs you should move to the Bronx

“I’ve always pitched this theory of, if a guy comes up to a restaurant in a red Ferrari, you kind of recoil,” he said. “But if you find out that the guy owned 14 of them and he writes a blog on them, then you can appreciate it, because you can trust that there’s a depth to it.”

“That’s the best koi fish you can find,” he said dismissively, nodding toward the crude fish tattoo he got at 18. “And that,” he said, pulling up his other sleeve to show off a lovely reinterpretation he got at 32, “is the koi fish that you want.”
He lowered the sleeve. “It all represents the trip through knowledge.”

These are real words that came out of a person's mouth, without laughter
“John is something of a watch-nerd icon,” said Benjamin Clymer, the 32-year-old founder of Hodinkee, which features watch news and reviews catering to next-generation aficionados. “I think, in a lot of ways, John made it O.K. to really go deep into watches and not be embarrassed about it. I can’t tell you how many guys have come up to me at events and said, ‘My wife or girlfriend thought I was crazy for caring about watches so much, until I told her John Mayer was the very same way.’ ”

Five years ago, Eric Kabakoff and Christina Lewandowski bought a one-bedroom in a new condominium in Gowanus, Brooklyn, with the idea of moving to a two-bedroom in the same building after a while. But two years ago, when they were outbid on two apartments there, the couple realized their $750,000 budget was not going to be enough.

$800k for an apartment with a dedicated strawberry milkshake line already installed seems like a good deal. Sure, you'll save money if you buy a house without a milkshake line and install it yourself but not everybody has time for that.

I just watched a Property Brothers where they were renovating an old home to redo the kitchen to get rid of the outdated granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances and install marble counters and a solid gold stove, and they added a milkshake line while they were at it, but discovered that the wiring for the robot butler had to be completely redone. They had to sacrifice upgrading the servants quarters from a hole in the floor to a flush toilet to make room in the budget. It was a nightmare.
