“just remember that unless you still live in your parents home – we are all gentrifiers of some sort.”
How so? For example, what makes me one? I rent a room in Brooklyn Heights from a family that’s been there for three generations.
I don’t see how an entire article about Long Island City, Queens, mentioning both art and industrial spaces, etc., could go on without mentioning the Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum on Vernon Blvd.

just remember that unless you still live in your parents home – we are all gentrifiers of some sort.
You know what, fsrg, I’m not sure how I feel. I don’t actually enjoy watching someone lose money, and I know it’s a bit of a different point, but, there’s a part of me that does get a bit happy when a gentrifier gets thwarted
“Those of us who don’t have money for a downpayment take some pleasure in the misfortune of those who lost theirs :)”

And when these speculators get stuck with a house in the ghetto that’s underwater, it’s kinda fun to call those people d-bags. Those of us who don’t have money for a downpayment take some pleasure in the misfortune of those who lost theirs 🙂
But is it? Aren’t the “fringe” areas the first where prices retract and the last to recover?
True but also have the most room for appreciation.
therefore = dime or 10 pennies
“Same “If” no matter where you buy frankly”

That’s a big “if”.
Same “If” no matter where you buy frankly
