“What has done what any successful demagogue has done, picked a permanent and ever-changing enemy and a cause without practical remedy. He thinks that if the economy tanks all the way into a depression, then gentrification will reverse itself, ”
No that has already happen. The moves by the FED yesterday was a all out panic! They are printing money for bad assets.
“so he roots for everyone to fail so that they can abandon their houses at a fraction of current value.”
That has already happen. Pleas look at the first post post.
“Montrose has written eloquently about the form of gentrification you describe, neighborhoods picking themselves up in the aftermath of the 60s-70s fiscal crisis and improving themselves to the point where others want in.”
Allow me to pull out my RPG and blow that assumption out of the sky! These Brownstones have been standing for over 90 years and anyone at anytime could’ve purchased one. Now why now this Hyper-Love for Brownstones?? It’s call HOT MONEY. Remember 911 (Oh you just moved in 2006, sorry) Alan Greensperm lowered rates to 1% after the NASDAQ meltdown. Now you have Jr. Donald Trumps popping out of the woodwork and now every Asshead is a Real Estate expert. Why did anyone buy Brownstones when Rudy Giuliani was mayor??? *** Crickets*** There was no hot money to fund the upcoming Mind F*** for the retards! Now here comes Gentrification! Here comes the Developers! Here come the Hipsters! Here come the Retards Here comes WHATEVER! Now a working class family get pushed out because Josh, Megan, Bill and Jane wants to pay 2100.00 for a studio in the Ghetto!!! Now the fun begins– Asshats whining about every thing and this gave birth to “The What” (Dave here is your answer)!
“A depression isn’t going to bring back high crime and de-gentrify the City. The City’s finances are so much better managed now than in the 60s and 70s that drops in revenues are not going to take the same toll. All those empty lots and burned out buildings were the results of decades of disinvestment and destruction (Cross Bronx and Sheridan Expressways anyone?).”
See this is Cognitive Dissonance in it’s purest form. This retard just moved into New York and going to lecture someone about urban planning. Please take you computer and smash you face with it! If you need any help with that call me..
“When will you people learn that God just did not intend for colors to mix.”
Good g*d man! You have got to edumacate yourself! Some of the greatest paintings in the world have – please don’t faint – MIXED colors! Nature herself mixes colors in flowers, in cat fur [like how I mixed cats into the convo?] and in the very fruits and vegetables we eat everyday!
Mixed colors are everywhere! Suck it up Troy!
And not for nuthin’ but that’s the second time today that I’ve heard the phrase ‘you people’ – I’m not talking to you anymore. Or any of you people for that matter! ; )
I’ll be there until about 9pm or whenever BH wants to leave – whichever comes first!
I’m trying to figure out where I fit in Mrs DeLough’s characterizations.
Someone could use a drink.
You never know, gemini but I’d say 11:00 or so.
Boy the Targeting Systems just went Code Red!

The What (Fire!)
Someday this war is gonna end…
Heya – How late do you think you all will be there until?
“You people” is code.
“When will you people learn that God just did not intend for colors to mix.”

Troy…you must go absolutely insane in a flower garden. Is there a word for this malady?
