Inviting Realtors To Talk “Bushwick’s Future”

Try to talk about Bushwick and its future to ten people, and you will get ten different opinions. The funny thing is that these ten different people will likely never talk to each other about it. While Bushwick is a favorite topic among artists who regularly hold panel discussions on creating a sustainable future of some sort for Bushwick, some of the important actors on the scene are rarely invited. After I realized that realtors speak a very different language and have different paradigms when it comes to Bushwick, I thought that a trip to midtown would be worthwhile. I talked to Eric Karmitz from Halstead Property, who is the salesperson for the 260 Meserole building that is currently for sale.
