Jonathan Miller posted a neat little graph over at Curbed on Friday, which attempts to show the savings of living in Brooklyn vs. Manhattan over the past seven years. Mr. Miller acknowledges that the graph is “simplistic and fraught with problems,” but it gives an approximated view of how much buyers save by living in Brooklyn, and that saving’s relationship to the boom and bust years. Using median sales price data (of condos? co-ops? houses? all available residential sales?), Mr. Miller concludes that the peak time of Brooklyn savings relative to Manhattan was the second quarter of 2008. Again, it’s an approximation, but an interesting one. Take a look at the original article for more details.

  1. would i rather take a chance with 1.5% price to a “shady” non-regulated insurance company starting in a market that’s off 35% or would i rather buy some insurance policy from ex-AAA MBIA AMBAC FDIC AIG ALPHABETSOUPFORLUNCH?

    personally, i’d take it off the realtor fee if it doesn’t work out.

    there are no guarantees in life.

    this product idea is in early gestation period but sounds like it could be a grand slam to me.
