porch%20007.jpg

Developers in Montclair are determined to create condos in every last open space in Montclair, but this ad in the Montclair Times sounded too close to home...

The Crawlspace, a new, cozy prewar residence under a porch in tony Montclair. Amenities include artisan dirt floors, all new stainless steel ductwork, steps away from a toilet and slop sink. Asking $85,000; animals welcome.

Hey that looks my landlords newly renovated bohemian alternative to living in brooklyn.

What are the taxes like?

Posted by Miss Martta | April 1, 2008 1:32 PM
 

I bet they are dirt-cheap.

 

They forgot to mention "light and airy".

Roo, you didn't tell us you were moving!!

If it includes parking, I'll take it! The Montclair Parking Authority has the rest of my down payment.

I might be interested, but I'll need to know if this is located in "Upper Montclair", or regular old "Montclair".

If you think that's a deal, you should see what the slumlords are offering! But BUY NOW while non-compliance keeps property values low, and the elected representative is silent, because new homeowners are fixing up their little places and planning to elect a new leader who will stand up to an administration and weak municipal court that have allowed code violators to spoil the quality of life and property values for moderate-income family investors.

Oh I get it, you have to farm your own granite from the ground for your countertops. Nice open floor plan, where's the wine fridge and the giant Viking range?

Finally--affordable housing in Baristaville!

Did wally have a going away party that we missed?

Posted by Iceman | April 1, 2008 4:32 PM
 

I heard he left the place very dirty.

If you are wondering why you haven't heard from Uncle Cathar's Favorite Marsupial, it is because he bolted on the rent and left town in such a hurry he forgot his pouch, seen in the upper left.

Posted by Conan | April 1, 2008 5:54 PM
 

OMG, the reason you haven't heard from your favorite marsupial is because he was looking at Baristanet from his Blackberry, which didn't load enough of the page to see this item. Oh, how nice of you, Liz, to look for a more upscale residence. Does this mean, uh, you want me out? Have I overstayed my welcome? What if I promised to stop drinking and sinking like Pavarotti every night? I'll stop, I swear!

Posted by walleroo | April 1, 2008 11:18 PM
 

Sorry, that should be singing like Pavarotti, sinking like a rock.

Posted by walleroo | April 1, 2008 11:20 PM
 

Croiag-looks like Lower Montclair to me : )

Posted by nance | April 1, 2008 11:34 PM
 

Just an April Fool's joke -- you know I love when you sing Pavarotti. No, don't stop.

Posted by Liz | April 2, 2008 6:56 AM
 

Really? This was a joke?
