Putting the “real” in Real Estate

At least one Daily News’ real estate writer understands what its editorial and news writers do not.  Jason Sheftel makes the connection between bike lanes and Williamsburg’s “white hot” real estate market, as represented by a rental building at 65 N. 5th Street:

Two blocks from Bedford Ave., the building is a short walk or bike ride to anything a twenty- or thirty-something could want in their life. And if you think bike lanes don’t work, take a look at the bike racks on N. Seventh and Driggs Ave. They’re full enough to make anyone a believer.

Jason Sheftel may be the only member of the reality-based community at the Daily News.
