The writer responds.

Thanks for your note. The goal of the Habitats column is to focus on the lives of interesting New Yorkers and to tell their stories through the places where they live. When it comes to choosing subjects, I try to spread the net as widely as possible, geographically, economically, professionally, etc.

Sometimes the point of the story will be the amazing décor, sometimes it will be the ingenuity with which a family has stretched a modest budget, but mainly, I'm simply looking for good stories that give a sense of the variety of lives lived in the city. I found the young couple in Woodlawn interesting for a number of reaons, one of which was that she had such specific decorating ideas and he was so patient in accommodating her tastes.

Best,
Connie Rosenblum
