The rooftop restaurant far below would be inundated by all of the pool water being knocked out of the cantilevers in a sizeable shaker, no matter if it occurs on a vertical thrust fault or a horizontal strike-slip fault. And whomever is sitting on the couch beneath the glass bottom lap pool will be swept away if the glass gives way. DTLA Falls.

You’re the John Madden of the Curbed comment section.

LOL, so triggered! OMG! I love it! LOL!

My "Becky and Chad" comments had nothing to do with white people in general but millennial transplants from Sweet Valley High land, who come here demanding NYC to be just as bland, boring, corporate and unexciting as the boring cities they came from, who are bringing in a spate of Chipotles, 7-11s and Starbuckses here.

And you very well know that’s who I meant. No native white New Yorkers or even honorary ones are called Becky and Chad. They may be called Tony, Jackie, Ira and Sylvia, and maybe John, Steve, and Andy or something. Not Becky and Chad.

East New York is not all black people, hispanics or middle eastern immigrants with names like LaSean, Jose, or Jamal…

You have no idea what demographic East New York comprises of because you don’t come from there, don’t go there on a regular basis or have friends or relatives there. Why do you think your silly fleeting impressions derived from a simply Google search or Wikipedia article somehow bests the firsthand experience of someone who’s intimately familiar with this area?

…so you can claim that immigrants and ethnic communities are the only ones being pushed out at the expense of white gentrifiers.

I’ve never said anything like that, Mickey Mouse, because I don’t believe anything remotely that stupid or simple-minded. Hell, I’ve written an entire blog entry arguing how gentrification isn’t a racist phenomenon but has employed racism to hoodwink whites into supporting it, so they don’t realize that they’re next on the list.

So, you’ve never heard me say anything remotely what you claim. What it sounds like is that like most pro-gentrification apologists, you’ve decided to mischaracterize how people like me on the opposing side feel about the issue. That’s all.

Gentrification is also pushing out white people.

Yeah, no shit. Like the friend of mine who was pushed out of Park Slope in favor of the Becky and Chads, because she became too "working class" after they moved in and were willing to pay double for what she was paying. Oh, hey! Whaddaya know? I witnessed this phenomenon firsthand ten years ago, as opposed to you, who’s only just figured it out yesterday.

So, honestly—when posting comments on Curbed, stick to what you do best, and that’s post insipid comments cheering the latest developments. But don’t try to outwit, outsmart or outargue other posters who are far more informed about you on subjects that are completely out of your depth. All you’re doing is setting yourself up to be exposed as a poser.

God I hate these NIMBY a-holes. Just build. And then build more. And then build even more. Build near the stations. Build Build Build!

Move to Wyoming.

because we haven’t raised the gas tax in 20 years.

so your solution would be let all that valuable much needed water go out to sea, untreated full of pollution. I’m sure the free market will take care of it.

This house is really impressive. The scale is dramatic, but not in a cheesy way. It’s not overly ornate, and has very clean lines. The landscape was also designed by John Howard. The ivy covered patios are popular on Pinterest and Instagram. This house is a showcase.

As a kid I played and even Fished along the Hutchinson River which was also called Eastchester Creek. I worked for 41 years At New York Bus Service now the MTA’s Eastchester Depot. One of the Newer invasive species are Italian wall lizard‘s all along the rivers bank in the winter they live in the rocks and in the summmer they sunbathe on top of the rocks all along the rivers bank near the bus depot. We lactually had a boat dock right next to the bus company for about five years. With 4 pilings and docking for two boats, that was authorized by the Army Corps of Engineers . And the blue claw crabs were plentiful swimming around the dock The dock and the pilings all have been removed when DOT put in a new bulkhead. Also over the years I spotted in American bald eagle on a tree limb

thanks! that’s what I get for ignoring side boxes (I always assume they’re ads)
