(Less than) two years, two sales: it's this sort of turnover that keeps Greenwich real estate humming

/

gimmicky, but effective

16 Windrose Way has sold again, this time for $14 million. The owner paid $13.750 for it in July 2024 (it had started at $21.5 million in May 2022), and apparently promptly changed his mind or his plans.

This buyer has a Chelsea/West Village Zip (10011), the seller came from Delaware. (19807).

It's on old — 2024 — clip, but his sentiments and his actions haven’t changed. (Updated)

I’ll correct one thing: Murphy refers to them (26 seconds in) as “undocumented Americans who are in this country”, not “migrants”. Telling, that.

UPDATE

Fox News provides the context:

In the clip, posted on Monday night by the conservative influencer account End Wokeness, MSNBC host Chris Hayes asked Murphy in 2024 about negotiations between Democrats and Republicans happening at the time about a border security bill. Hayes pressed Murphy on why Democrats were pushing to get funding for Ukraine instead of pushing for a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, as the party had done in the past.

"Well, I mean, Chris, that’s been a failed play for 20 years," Murphy replied. "So you are right that that has been the Democratic strategy for 30 years, maybe, and it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country."

Pending on Pinecroft

14 Pinecroft Road, guide price $5.450 million. Started at $5.795 million February 24th, but listing agent Martha Jeffrey is one of the best, and quickly dropped it to its current price on March 3rd. We can all overestimate an initial price (or, more often, an owner can), but no harm’s done if, as here, that price is adjusted promptly.

Great house and grounds, and the location’s good. I’d remove the faux ceiling beams in the living room and maybe the library’s dark paneling, but those are quibbles.

Is it really a problem for the Democrats? It seems to me they wrote them off long ago

in fact, you might say that, at best, they're only offering them lip service

I only mention this pending Stamford listing because the agent goes out of her way to say it's in Greenwich

The false attribution certainly didn’t deter at least one interested buyer, because 93 E Middle Patent Road, $1.650 million, is reported pending after just 17 days. I’m sure that, before any contracts were signed, the buyers, if they didn’t know it before, were alerted to the true location of the property, so no harm done.

And it’s easy to see why someone would want this house: 1760 construction, with much of it remaining, on 4.6-acres, which is not much remaining of the original parcel, but large enough.

Here’s the listing description:

Steeped in history and timeless New England character, this serene Greenwich retreat beautifully preserves the architectural integrity of an earlier era. Set along one of back-country Greenwich's most picturesque roads, this special property offers the rare opportunity to own a home rich in provenance, craftsmanship, and authentic period detail. Cozy fireplaces, detailed millwork, and beautifully designed rooms evoke a sense of history while expansive windows frame tranquil views of the surrounding landscape. A true Greenwich treasure, 93 E Middle Patent Road is where character, comfort, and calm converge.

In my original March 6th post, I discussed the history of how some Stamford properties ended up with Greenwich postal addresses over the past 300 years (spoiler alert: it was for the convenience of the postmasters responsible for delivering mail by horseback to the far northern borders of the respective towns).

The trouble is, "we" read all of this stuff; at least half the country's voters stop at Part One

Part the Second

Let’s go into the wayback machine for filmmaker Ami Horowitz’s video, “How white liberals really view black voters”: Horwowitz begins by interviewing white wokes.on UC/ Berkeley’s campus in California, asking their opinion on the difficulty blacks encounter obtaining ID, then heads east to Harlem and asks blacks the same question — the answer won’t surprise you.

The video i really too much fun to skip, but if you’re pressed for time, here’s an AI summary of the subject;

AI Overview

Based on street interviews and polling, there is a stark contrast between the opinions of white liberal students—such as those at UC Berkeley—regarding voter ID laws and the views held by black residents in urban areas like Harlem, NYC.

White Berkeley Students' Perspective

  • Perceived Hardship: In street interviews conducted by filmmaker Ami Horowitz, white students at Berkeley often suggested that requiring voter ID is racist or discriminatory, arguing that it suppresses the black vote.

  • Reasons Cited: They often expressed the belief that black citizens find it difficult to obtain identification due to limited access to DMVs, the internet, or smartphones, and that such laws disproportionately target people of color.

Black Residents' Perspective in NYC (Harlem)

  • Contrarian Views: When asked in Harlem, Black residents reported having identification and knowing others who also had it, frequently dismissing the notion that obtaining ID is difficult, according to reports from Ami Horowitz.

  • Disdain for Assumption: Some residents found the suggestion that Black people cannot navigate the process of obtaining an ID to be strange, condescending, or "soft racism".

  • Support for ID: These residents expressed no problem showing identification to vote and often support voter ID requirements to ensure election integrity.

Key Takeaways

  • 76% of Black Americans support having photo ID to vote, according to a 2026 CNN report referenced in a video discussion.

  • The argument that voter ID laws are racist is viewed by some critics as a "manufactured controversy" that relies on a "bigotry of low expectations" regarding the capabilities of black Americans, according to the interviewed residents in NYC.

  • While national organizations like the League of Women Voters argue that 25% of black voters lack photo ID and face transportation/financial barriers, the immediate anecdotal response from the New York street interviews suggested a disconnect between that narrative and the reality of the residents interviewed.
