Maybe it's the profusion of hyper modern condo construction lately taking place all over Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens that is making buildings once used for industrial and/or commercial purposes seem increasingly attractive.

Parents, particularly those preparing to spend large sums of money on housing for their children, not-infrequently show less zeal than their progeny for the new Brooklyn—and greater reluctance to relinquish old stereotypes. The tendency becomes more pronounced still when Mom and Dad contemplate not merely covering the rent but actually buying in—funding, in part or in whole, the purchase of property.
