dandel, can you please keep cutting and pasting articles for us to read? It’s much more informative than just posting the links with the headlines. You seem like a lot of fun…care to join us this Thursday night?
Oy! All the way down there? That’s so damned far. Sigh. It takes about a week of mental preparation just for me to go to Kings Plaza Mall. I don’t think I’d survive living down there. Transportation is an epic fail down there. No wonder it’s so darned cheap.
One of my girlfriends live in Marine Park. Great House, pretty nabe, but very inconvenient. She has to use a car for everything. Her boyfriend has to drive her to the subway or she walks 8 blocks to the express bus stop to get to her job in lower Manhattan. Takes forever.
“I’m guessing its reasonably priced because the homes are under water”
I’d like to be under the sea
In an octopus’ garden in the shade

Wall street Journal today:
Foreclosures are rising in some of the market’s top tiers – About 30% of
foreclosures in June involved homes in the top third of local housing values, up from
16% when the foreclosure crisis began three years ago. Foreclosures are rising in more expensive markets as home values in those areas fall. WSJ.
“When looking for 500k or less homes several things came up in Marine Park…where the hell is that and how is that hood?”
I’m guessing its reasonably priced because the homes are under water
Snappy, it’s right down at the end of Flatbush Ave.
Don’t know the nabe but the property seems cheap (relatively).
Snappy, Marine park is a great nabe (right by Kings Plaza if you know where that is). Problem is, it’s a shlep to Manhattan or Downtown Brookyn and almost not direct train lines. You would have to take a bus to trains almost from any point in Marine Park.
Rob- Cough syrup is only soothing you. It’s not helping to fight any illness.
Morning everyone!
