Spoke with some friends yesterday who are looking for a one-bedroom in Fort Greene, with a very reasonable price limit of around $1700, and are having much difficulty. Then today I stumble over this article I remember from about a year ago that proclaimed that Erykah Badu is still hoarding a rent-controlled one-bedroom in my nabe. What do you think she’s paying? I would peg it at around a grand. Given her lifestyle, she probably spends a fraction of the year there (I’ve never seen her around). Share the wealth, Erykah!
