will try to be there, have son with and he’s too young to drink, so need to dump him somewhere…
Lies and damn statistics.
To echo my comment in the Furman thread, prices in my part of the Slope have doubled in the past five years alone.
25 years ago the house my landlord bought probably traded for 1/10th it’s current value.
Hiya Biff! Look Biff I want to bring this to you attention. You ask me to “Stand Down” with Montrose Morris. I complied with you request and never wrote any bad about her and this came up on the Asshat targeting System.
“What, you were writing in perfect, college educated, grammatical speech this morning, and were making some good points. The meds must have worn off big time, or you are the biggest phony here. Guess what most people believe?
Leave Benson alone. He and I may disagree on many things, but he is a class act, and I respect and like him. There are others far more deserving of being called out around here. Why not go after cornerbodega or prop joe? If you are looking for racists, go after the guys in white hoods, not the guy standing on the corner when they pass by.”
Now Biff I had to hit the fail safe option before the rockets took off! The ONLY reason that I did not go full blast is because of you! In the past I pointed out MM epic fails and went just a little too far but I don’t deal with her anymore. Now I just want to know the rules of engagement when some Retard attacks The What and I launch a full scale Counter-Strike, specially when I don’t engage that person. I await your response and Thanks for reading Biff…

fate = fat
holy Freudian slip!
(you’re fated to get fat if you eat too much of this!)
It’s crazy easy and it really is good. Don’t tell the people you make it for how easy it was. I love smoked brisket too but haven’t gotten myself a smoker yet. Maybe I should ask Santa for one next year.
Buy the the one that’s already cut in half. Don’t cut the fate off. pick it up with a fork to get it in the pan.
Once it’s cooked you can put it in the fridge all the fat will rise to the top and harden then you can just crack it and scoop it off.

Team Bear is here, we are always here….
Etson;
I think you misunderstood my point. Team Bear’s point, especially Miss Muffet, has consistently been that the appreciation in NYC has been “excessive”, and so a huge correction is due, on the order of 50% or so. My point therefore, is that the appreciation is not excessive – it is only slghtly above inflation,and that premium is due to the improvement in the quality of life.
I agree that this was a one-time structural improvement, and hence NYC may no longer command this premium. The rate of appreciation may now just track inflation. That’s a LONG WAY from saying that we will have a 50% correction.
BTW: note that when actual statistical data is presented,Team Bear is nowhere to be found.
Benson,
I think your point in your most recent response to the Furman center report could support team bear. The last 20 years saw a structural improvement in ‘quality of life’ metrics in NYC which is probably not repeatable.
This may well have driven real estate inflation above what simple economics would suggest, and so may not be applicable to the future.
(of course to disprove this theory you would just have to show that the suburbs or other cities exhibited the same inflation rate and pattern as NYC over the same period. I am not sure whether that is true or not).
THL, that brisket recipe sounds good and easy. I never had brisket. Will try it. Do I have to touch the meat though?
