Elmhurst half-house to be demolished!

Hey all,

One of the very first dung piles featured on this blog was the "Elmhurst Half-House" back on December 9, 2006. This spectacular architectural abortion featured a low-rise attached house converted into a 4 story modern nightmare but still appearing to be attached to its former twin.

Well, the NYIMBY blog brings us the news that demolition permits were filed back in May for the smaller building. The replacement will be 4 stories with 7 units.

I'm not sure which is worse at this point: the house in its current embarrassing condition or the replacement.

More crap coming to the overcrowded shithole called New York city. They will knock it down just so they can house 50 more "undocumented immigrants" in a one bedroom apartment.

May as well put the poor thing out of its misery :-( Lesson: Don't buy half of an attached house. Ugh.

For a second, I thought they were tearing down the 4 story. Silly me.

You can thank the naked Communist Warren Wilhelm Jr., aka Bill DopeBlasio for the current state of affairs here in NYC. These people are not who they say they are. They are lying to us with every breath that they take.

The pols have a goal of disengaging people from politics or planning their community beyond 3rd world scripted democracy.


Its considered the height of bad behavior to disagree with them or practice any of traditional American citizen engagement with the affairs of their community.

Once that changes, things will begin to change for the better.
