Cantilever Watch 2007: Graceline Court Sales Office All Jazzed Up
:: Hey, so the Sopranos finale kinda sucked, right? Cheap, cheap, cheap. Way to send America to bed mad HBO. ::
Graceline Court's 111 Lenox Avenue sales office is open. On site features include a mocked-up kitchen and bath, simulated views, and a four piece jazz band. Thankfully, the band was far better than the music on Graceline's website.
Also, small cookies and bite sized brownies were readily available in a buffet style setting, but Cheryl and I could not seem to get table service for drinks.
As for the apartments, they will include granite countertops (check) and stainless steel appliances (check). As for the building, it will feature a fitness center, common roof-top terrace, a two shift doorman, and a pet friendly policy.
Apartments start at $475,000 for a 668 square foot 1 bedroom, 1 bath with Southern and Eastern exposures. The priciest unit I see is a 1417 square foot 3 bedroom, two bath on the 8th floor with Northern, Southern and Eastern exposures.

I like this building alot. I hope it will sell faster than the Kalahari. What is preventing the neighborhood around the mosque from really flourishing are the MASSIVE projects that are from 115th down to 112th or 111th street that go all the way east. These projects are serving no purpose but to keep people in an endless cycle of poverty and hopelessness that just radiates out to the rest of the neighborhood. When will someone start to destroy these buildings?
I have never seen so many projects concentrated in one area! This place will never get cleaned up with them here!

If the projects are destroyed, what exactly do you think will happen to all the people who live there? Will putting them out on the street help to ease the endless cycle of poverty and hopelessness? It's not as though they could afford to live in the new buildings going up now. Are you concerned about cleaning up the neighborhood, or just about your own comfort level?

I am concerned about cleaning up the neighborhood. The neighborhood will never be cleaned with 5 avenues and 4 blocks of projects

The project people don't even have any regards for their own safety. Since I moved up to Harlem, I have never seen so many people who will jay walk and not even be aware of their own surroundings, or they will know that a car is coming and will almost walk right into the car. Then they will curse at you even though the car has the right of way. DISGUSTING

i support the idea of helping them with housing, after all, this country didn't pay any type of compensation for slavery (that's what i would really want to see happening).
the part i don't agree with is that they end up losing labor mobility. if they lose their job and cannot find another they end up living in one of the most expensive cities in the world. teh help fucks them up in that sense in the long run.
a system of vouchers that would guarantee them same cost of housing regardless whether they need to relocate would be much better. after all, much of the money used to support these projects comes from the federal gov, so why restricting the help to the project they were assigned? it looks like locking them in an expensive jail while telling them "be grateful, we are helping you. and yes, please, don't ever organize yourselves and demand compensation for slavery, remember we are helping you more than we should already".

I totally agree that they need help...Putting them in massive projects that run 3 streets north/south and 5 avenues across is not helping them or anyone else. It has become a breeding ground for crime and is not helping the surrounding neighborhood prosper as fast as other parts of Harlem.
GET RID OF THE PROJECTS!!!!
