Condos on the Highway, Next to the Cemetery

How’s this for a killer idea: condos on the highway (more or less), next to the cemetery (the Hillside Mausoleum at Green-Wood)? The half-finished building in Windsor Terrace is laughably dubbed “The Simone”—a simulation of elegance in a place lacking same. “Who the hell would want to live there!?” I exclaimed aloud. Not that there’s anything wrong with living near a cemetery, as the picture below illustrates. But The Simone’s proximity to Green-Wood simply underscores the developer’s morbid take on the dictum “location, location, location.”
