Dirty Dealings at 184 Kent?

1.

The F.B.I. is starting a Web site, reportcorruption.fbi.gov, through which people can send tips on corruption, although not anonymously, to be reviewed by agents at the bureau's headquarters.

Hey, I have a lot more things they are both connected.
1) They both live in New York

2) They both pee when they have to.
Etc. etc., the list can go on and on, and of course there is the one thing some have on their mind but it may not be political correct to write, guess what. they are both orthodox Jews!!!
On a more serious note, this is ridiculous, everybody who does a lot of business in a certain council district will contribute to his councilman, just like all big business people in New York state contribute to Hillary and Schumer, and most big companies and their CEO's will contribute to a presidential candidate.
You can go and check it out for yourself, there are hundreds of developers who regularly donate money to their representatives, in any level of city, state, federal government.

#2:

"This, of course, doesn't really mean anything..."

Curbed happens to agree with you.

#2 has his panties in a bunch. Anybody who gets that excited over stuff like this is guilty of something.

Just because something is a common occurance doesn't make it smell any less.

Nowhere does racism and anti-Semitism raise its ugly head more thoroughly and consistently than in real estate. I should not be shocked by it but I continually am, by the people who ask "Do THEY own the building?" when the Hasidic carpenter whose making the kitchen cabinets walks by during a showing, the Dominican landlord who asks "They're Puerto Rican?" when I bring him an application, the Polish and Italian landlords who say "what kind of people are they?" when I call to tell them I have someone who wants to rent their apartment - "kind" being code for "race". Or the mother who asks me, "Are there any black people in the neighborhood?" when calling about an apartment for her son.

And while we have a policy to not ever work with a blatant racist the problem is that there are enough companies working that don't care and will take them.

As for #2's comment - The veiled anti-Semitism is everywhere these days - standing at the barricades watching the fire burn in my neighborhood, while the Hasidim walked by on their push-to-talks and the attitude from the people in my neighborhood scared me. I wanted to say, "um, i'm one of 'those people' too". Yes, the Orthordox own a lot of the legacy buildings in North Brooklyn. Some were in the family, other buildings they bought WHEN NO ONE WANTED THEM. Some of them are slumlords, some of them are good people who take care of their tenants as best they can (tough when they are sometimes insanely spoiled white hipster brats from the suburbs).

BUT YOU CAN SAY THAT ABOUT EVERY LANDLORD IN NEW YORK CITY. some are good. some are not. some are slumlords. some are not.

but religion has nothing to do with it. asshole.

The Greenpoint Terminal wasn't even voted for landmark status, right?

Hey Brooklyn agent, I don't know to whom your last sentence was directed, but my point is, that to write-or better said, make- a story to imply that there is some connection between the Kestanbaum's and Guttman because they both donated money to the same council member who represents both of them is absurd, ridiculous, and yes, smells of something worse.
There are hundreds of other developers in Williamsburg or the surroundings who donated money to Yassky too, but their names were not included in this story, you know why? I do.

I think the problem is that in real estate, you can't always take the high road. I was looking at a decent place in the LES that I would have had no problem with, but it was next to some fairly benign housing projects. Yeah, it would be no problem for me but I have to unload the property some day as well, and I'm sorry, but let someone else be open-minded with their $$$$.

10.

Of course big real estate developers give to all the politicians they think have or might have power. The significant thing here is not what they did for Yassky, but what he did for them. Turning over not only the community's and the landmarking agency's decisions but also the mayor's - now that shows some real commitment to adding those -- what is it, three - floors to 184 Kent. Yassky's argument for not preserving the building as is -- "because it would dampen development on the waterfront" - is a laugh. AS IF !

11.

One more thing - guess whose district the Finger Building is in? Guess who hasn't raised a FINGER to help the opponents of its monstrous height?

I'd say this is (from the Daily News article) the funniest paragraph I've read in a while:

"There is absolutely no link between donations and David's governing," said Thies. "There are plenty of developers in Greenpoint, Williamsburg, DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights who have given him money and are upset over his stance against their developments."

Said something there about how Claggartville was one of the centers of the New England whaling industry.
