What are you talking about? Did you just cut and paste from your stream of conciousness?

I think todays anticipated "Plunge" and the ensuing bear market will help bring about more tax and economic reforms as the government scrambles to appear as though they are "Doing Something". as a result we will hopefully end up with lower taxes and stronger economy over all.

Remember the plunge and recession after 9/11. How long after tax cuts and stimulus did it take for markets to recover and the real estate boom commenced? Less than 1 year.

less than one year? try less than 2 months. by november of 2001 the market picked up like no-ones-business and took off from there. all the experts (barbara corcoran, trump, and many others) were beside themselves with disbelief. i remember them telling everyone to "get out" of the market...sell your home or you are in trouble. and look what happened!
i think the media has hyped the real estate market to an extreme. usually the wave is when the stock market is up the real estate market is down and vice-versa...i think everyone took a deep breath they will purchase and price to sell realistically and things will move forward (albeit on a straight path for now, but it will move forward)

Sometimes I wonder...Who is more detrimental to our high society living in Brooklyn? Bedford Ave hooligans who run street corners, or the Wall Street hooligans who may have destroyed total neighborhoods with their subprime scheme.

I hate to say it, but the deals that Mr. Guttman will do in Israel will be law-abiding and fair because it says in the Torah that Jews can't cheat others Jews and Mr. Guttman knows that full well. As for the rest of us, we are $hit out of luck.

The Daily News article about Two Brooklyns is truly depressing--everyone should read it.

Don't worry, 12:43, Crown Heights is going to be a glimmering, shimmering luxuryland once AY is built. Those who bought there are some of the SMARTEST people in the history of the Universe.

Posted by: guest at January 22, 2008 2:05 PM

How do you fiqure that 2:05?Are you suggesting that once AY is built people will be scrambling to get away. Should that already be happening with 10yrs of construction noise coming? If people want to abandon that area, they should have already done it. And if they do abandon it, why move to Crown Heights.

Brownstone dwellers do not care about black people. In their mind the true crimes against humanity are not inequity, violence, failing education, or urban blight, but shadows from "towers," contemporary facade, and buildings that set back from the others.

Loved that suing broker story on NYT.com. Hope to see more of that around Brooklyn as well... those blood sucking no good lowlifes.
