Oh boo-hoo. The real estate market along the G line is “suffering”.
“It is more difficult to lease or sell a property that is serviced by the G train,” said David Maundrell, president of aptsandlofts.com, a Williamsburg-based brokerage. “The way we combat that is we discount our prices.”
Who are they fucking kidding? They call their Greenpoint apartments discounted? I mean, seriously, with a straight face?
The apartments are less expensive than Williamsburg, yes,…

Uh. David Maundrell.
I don’t really have much to say except that I wouldn’t give him any space to talk about anything, anywhere.
Greenpoint has many beautiful blocks, not only the obviously gorgeous Historic District. Not only are there blocks with beautiful buildings, Greenpoint’s topography and intimate streetscapes make it a true gem to discover.
I really don’t think the G train will be making any extensions. It’s probably the most under-maintained line in the system.
Greenpoint Ave to Midtown in 12 minutes flat. The G trains are clean and with the added bonus of not having to let three trains pass you by because you can’t get on like every time I try to use the supposed great L line. People are actually staritng to walk from Williamsburg to take the G. These negative posts about the G train are clearly the lies perpetuated by Billyburg real estate brokers trying to dissuade people from investigating and comparing Greenpoint to their offerings. Nice try guys.
I live in Wburg off the Graham stop, and there are days I just can’t deal with the crowd on the L train. I’ll walk down to the G and take that then the 7 into midtown. Takes me the same amount of time and usually I can find a seat and have space to read the paper. And actually, next month I’ll be moving to Greenpoint a block from the G. I figure the G service can’t get any worse; it can only get better.
