Hey Brownstoner, you are deleting my posts? That is real funny! So if people agree with you that is OK? When they don’t you delete their posts? OK I got it.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end….
Question for Brownstoner, Curbed, The Real Deal, The Real Estate et all — will you survive?
Because I remember all those real estate publications that sprang up in the 1980s boom disappearing in the bust — no ads, no one wanted to look.
In theory the stories are just as compelling on the way down — foreclosures, abandonments, other disasters. And as the bottom approaches, the opportunities are far greater that at the crazy prices of the past few years (though not likely to be seen as such). And the snarky attitude of many of the blogs works better.
Ah, but when the Trump Jrs. disappear, will anyone else be interested? And who will advertize? Foreclosure sellers? Those forming consortiums to take over abandoned, half-finished developments purchased at rock bottom prices?
Photo is a metaphor for the housing bubble?
