AY aside, I think it's way overpriced. 1.9M? Insanity.

Will this create a rebound in the real estate market, or is it still not enough to squelch the impending trouble? What do people think?

The word "nabe" makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

Agreed on many of your stated FG benefits, 6:51—except for the hospital. I wouldn't send my dog to that ER. I spent hours and hours in that waiting room once with a girlfriend who'd broken her ankle, surrounded by other people waiting who were all in dire need of attention, everyone waiting and waiting with no sign of help. That place is shit. Other than that, though, great 'hood.

As for 3+MM for that place? Please.

Man, my bedroom window used to be 100 ft. from that construction pit, right on Rockwell. Thank god we moved.

I do have to say though, that just about anything is an improvement on what was there before.

Have you not yet realized, 7:18, that the realtors themselves troll this blog and seed it with comments on their own listings? Seriously: check out 6:37. A person without a vested interest just wouldn't make comments like that. It's laughable.

p.s. I'm truly sorry that The What seems to have lost the plot. I enjoyed some of his posts that weren't cut-and-paste.

Yes, buying gold when it's near its all-time high is a great idea. Thanks for the shitty advice, Oliver.

Where can I see these school reports online? And where's a good map of where the districts begin/end?

Thanks.

Wow--a kind, supportive comment on this blog. Rare, and nice to see.
