lots of props cheap in 70’s /80’s. NYC population was declining especially in inner city neighborhoods (park slope included).. Run up in prices when population expands (big immigration). That old supply and demand.
Degraw st. (4th/5th) friend bought for $75k – 1982. PResident st (5th/6th) $110k -1984. then major runup.
I bought in ’86 for $240k undesirable block off smith.
When city population heads for big decline –you’ll see BHO.
Rob, Do you have much of a credit record? I remember you saying you do most stuff in cash. It’s crazy but they like to see you using credit ‘wisely’ rather than not using it at all (I get dinged a bit sometimes b/c I only have one credit card, at least I did when I was in the US full time).
Either that or it’s the student loans that are causing you problems.
So the good news is I got called back to Fancypants Finance Firm for a second round of interviews and the bad news is I don’t want the job, especially since I’m pretty certain I don’t want it AND we just found out Mrs C will be starting at Fancypants Finance Firm in September after having been out of the workforce for years.
Is it bad to decline going to the second round or should I go through the motions until the end? What to do??
oooh someone did tell me once to include a picture of my dog and a note explaining why i need a credit card and that it might strike a cord in whoever is reviewing the application. would it be stupid to do that? i think i will do that when i apply for a credit card AGAIN!
dude, i don’t care how you make your money and yeah – i know wall st extends beyond ny (used to work down there)
i just find it HILARIOUS day in, day out a bunch of rich new yorkers who own million dollar properties sit on here and try to tell each other everything is hunky dorey. the middle class is still hurting (the real middle class, not the fake NYC middle class that are actually rich)
drive out to the burbs – there’s former middle class people living in vans and working at supermarkets and 80 year olds working at wal-mart as greeters bc they lost their retirement money.
Because the truth only has one version. But even WE are not alone. This kind of consistency should worry you.

Spoken like true nutjob.

And I do know that everything is NOT hunky dorey out there.

noodle shops, umbrella shops, and cuckooo clock factories, respectively.
