Enough To Make You Gag

We all saw the condo going up on Sackett between Smith and Court (and the shoddy pointing work on the facade). Some of us even laughed when the put some bamboo in front of the lobby windows to try and class the place up. Well, get ready to gag at an New york Times article that quite possibly describes that building (process of elimination), and it's newest residents:

"The residents are often young, but at one small building on Sackett Street in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn, a large percentage of them are really young: Four of the six buyers had five babies among them when they went to contract in the fall and closed in April. 

The sleep-deprived residents are settling into a rhythm that contrasts with the hushed order found in some buildings. The lobby often has an arsenal of Diapers.com boxes stacked at the entrance. Residents sometimes confuse cries emanating from other apartments as those of their own babies, and the first meeting of the condominium board was scheduled around feeding and sleep times. Besides the four pairs of new parents, a fifth buyer has a 4-year-old, a scooter-wielding preschooler named Quincy, the building’s oldest child."

I guess there really is no point in whining about the continued Slopification of Carroll Gardens, but good god. Do they have to be so happy about it?
