“DH – that is one sign you are getting old…..when starting to say I remember when I could rent an apt there for such and such $. or it cost only this to buy that. ”
Haha pete – i’m only 25 – but in my 7 years in NYC i remember:
my studio on the LES that rented for 900 – now market is double
my one bedroom in chinatown for 1,250 – probably goes for 2,000 now
friends in college living in “prime greenpoint” 1 bedrooms for 700 bucks or williamsburg one bedrooms off bedford for 1200
WTF is happening to this city?
antidope, if you want in on my bet with Mr Joist, I’m open to extending it to you too. Bet is a 3 story or higher flr house (that is not gut-renov fixer) can NOT be had in Park slope (9th st & northward boundary-wise) during the next 10 yrs.

You might end up being a dirty old hipster.
so CHiller…who you voting for? I don’t like any of the council candidates.
haha m4l – goldman will get there bonuses this year and save us all.
Ya – Greenpoint too. Still insane rents though. I thought rents were dropping?
Rents are batshit crazy though. 1 bedroom off the Montrose L for $1,600? Bitch please.

DH, didn’t you hear? All is fine. Nothing but clear blue skys ahead. High rent coincides with rosey econ
DH, are you looking in Greenpoint too? I really like that area, in addition to W’burg.
