Sour Grapes Gounardes Scoffs at Mansion on 77th Street in Bay Ridge
Eight months after this was written, some goon-ards came for this post. You are low and lonely goons to do that on Holy Saturday (the day before Easter).
Some people live in mansions – be happy for them!
They worked hard for their home and deserve it!
And they have to work hard to pay the property taxes – in this situation, the property taxes are $34,000 a year!
And they work hard to clean it (or pay someone to clean it).
The New York Times highlighted a $25,000,000 home that is for sale on 77th Street in Bay Ridge. It was owned by a dentist. See here:

It has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It’s a great house for someone who has a large family. See inside the home – property listing:

The home was built on land formerly owned by Jimmy Destri, the keyboardist from the band, Blondie. Destri sold the 77th Street property in 2010 for 1.3 million. Source:

State Senator Andrew Gounardes had no achievements to write on social media, so he called the mansion a monstrosity to rally the socialists online.
See Senator Gounardes’ tweet:
Senator Gounardes complained that due to zoning, a “small” five story building can’t be built there.
Andrew Gounardes should never mention zoning around Bay Ridge. When there was a meeting about the City of Yes in Bay Ridge, Gounardes was silent at the meeting. Andrew Gounardes was silent as Justin Brannan voted for the City of Yes, but carved his home out of the City of Yes. Andrew Gounardes’ home was not carved out of the City of Yes, so and his wife can put an accessory apartment in the driveway and help their neighbors.
Info about the carveout is here:
