No, Pete, my cough and on/off high fever blew up into a full blown cold and bronchitis by Friday, so I abandoned all my plans for the weekend and stayed in. I viewed a ton of properties on line, though, and via email with my brokers. There are actually 3 houses on the market on Cheever Place right now – listed at $1.8, $1.9 and $2.1 or thereabouts, which, to me, is “low” by Cobble Hill standards.
DIBS- yes he is on that point- but that wasn’t the point I was making, which he is willfully ignoring.
Interesting article about what one of McCain-s top economic advisors said the other day- acknowledging there would have been record deficits if McCain had won too.
MM, again, sorry to hear about your Dad. I see you’re back in full force. Can we talk about pretty things like Paint and pretty pretty brownstones please?
Bxgrl did NOT say that Congress controlled the monetary policies of this country. She said they write laws that dictate where and how money is spent. That is fact in her statement, and a fact in actuality. The Fed’s policies are macro, not microeconomics. The conversation goes so much better if one is not consumed with finding gotcha moments to put on one’s tote board.
OK FOLKS…Let’s talk about some good news for a moment.
Sam Zell, one of the savviest real estate investors in the country (he sold virtually all of his commercial properties at the very top) just came in and bought two apartment buildings in Manhattan, River tower on the East Side and 777 Sixth Ave. They also plan to buy Longacre House in midtown.
To have him come in and buy 1,000 units is a real shot in the arm to this market!!!!!
sure doctors are to blame for healthcare costs,
but keep in mind that many experienced doctors would tell their patients to forgo a procedure or outright refuse if they could be assured that they wouldn’t have a lawsuit threatening them 10 years down the line because the tort law somehow connected their “disability” to the lack of an MRI earlier. Even though the patient is 80.
as I said, expectations need to change on the part of the public and doctors. to allocate resources more effectively.
Legion- nor did i say anything about healthcare costs- whose post are you reading?
Kens- I say we go back to the old country where we can have a goat in every barn, and a potato on every plate.
EW did anyone read the article in AM New York today?
“Steal Estate: NYers turning $250 dollar apartments in housing program into six-figure windfalls” :-/
