Spiral, from a fiscal standpoint the move makes sense.
They were able to make a killing from flipping all the property in the Heights.
It's also very expensive to operate in Brooklyn. The number has probably gone up, but when I was at Bethel 15 years ago, it costs twice as much to 'take care' of a Bethelite in Brooklyn than in the Farms or Patterson. Getting out made sense.
That said, I'm still not sure why they bought MORE property. They have a TON of unused land in Wallkill and Patterson.
