+117% all over Manhattan, DIBS. Yeah, fuckin’ WOW! Get a grip of what, a falling knife? I don’t think that’s possible.
slopefarm – The imprecision is annhilated with large margin by the shadow inventory. Those that are in distress and haven’t yet received a default judgement due to time or the bank’s unwillingness to glut inventory. Do you REALLY think buyer-seller disputes,, disputed estates or money judgements (distress anyway) come remotely close to the rule?! We’re talking probably less than 10% of that total number. The imprecesion does’nt change anything. None of the contributers in the article even mentioned it and they’re members of Team Bull/Reasonable (i.e. Jonathan Miller).
I actually think terms limits that are too short disempower elected officials at the expense of staff, who will have a huge info and knowledge advantage. Less accountability, not more. Also, if an officeholder knows he’s out soon, he may do more private dealmaking with potential future employers (lobbying revolving door — I’ll sweeten the bill for you if you hire me later). Elections of ’86, ’94, ’06, ’08 and quite possible ’10 are arguments against the need for limits. Better option is to put more districts in play by having stricter rules or procedures to limit partisan gerrymandering, and perhaps with public financing calibrated to offset quantifiable incumbent advantages (mailings, and such). Blogosphere makes it much easier for insurgents to organize and get message out than in olde days.
Delepp, I worry espada will be re-elected too and if that’s the case, that would be a classic example of “sometimes, it’s better to take away the votes from the masses cause they might be too stupid to make the correct decision”
You got money from your parents for a condo. Girl from the projects got money for a bugaboo. Both of things things are okay, but they are also not as different as you seem to think.

If you say so, Heather.

He’s an embarrassment.
And, to spell it out for you even more slowly:

Charlie has helped bring a lot of development to Harlem, but he over stayed his welcome. He should have stepped aside years ago.
rangel, and the tax code he didn’t need to follow despite being on the ways and means committee. Though I’m sure he’ll be re-elected in November.
