So if anyone is still shopping for a house, the one below is a block away from me and is on absolutely quite great street and a block away from the F train (yeah I know I know, F train sucks) as well as a couple of blocks from a 24 hour ShopRite and other stores. Great house but needs renos on the interior IMO but still livable.
Hey…at the risk of introducing a semi-intelligent convo into the OT (ha! you can torch me later) I have a question.
The other night I was watching that new HGTV show “Real Estate Intervention” and the host, Mike Aubrey, was trying to help a couple who couldnt manage to sell their condo. (yeah, they were asking a ridiculous price – 539k when the exact same unit in the same building just sold for 495k and had a better upgraded kitchen). The couple had done 100% financing and then put 20-25k into the apt. Mike said that 100% financing is a terrible thing because it basically allows home owners to live above their means. He then went on to say that this current downward-spiral market we are in is a result of a backlash against 100% financing. I totally get that those who did 100% financing are getting killed in this current market, but did they really cause this bubble pop or even play a large hand in it? Thoughts?
i dont have a camera or i would have taken a pic, but the scaffolding (sheds) came down from the condo between 5th and 4th ave on carroll (i think it’s carroll street). it actually looks pretty decent.

Morning folks
question – do any of you belong to NYSC on 9th street in Park Slope?
If so, is it busy in the mornings let’s say from 6ish-7am?

M4L looks like the dirty apartment in the Tuesday Links thread is on your street. Hopefully that’s not your neighbor :o).
Thats a hot tip Rob
Unfortunately his sister wasn’t much of a looker in high school.

Good morning all. What a surprise – another rainy day. As a member of “that” team, I still find the Seinfeld references entertaining.
I actually think Russell Wong’s brother is better looking and definitely seems like the nicer & more approachable guy
