quotation-icon.jpgIf wanting to pay a reasonable price for a home somewhere within a 40 minute commute to my place of employment makes me a loser and a “tool bag”, then I’m happy to be a loser and a tool bag. I’m sorry for all the people who are losing money on their home values right now, but those of us in careers other than banking, medicine and law would like to own our homes, too.

  1. Oh ok…sorry I misunderstood, dittoburg.

    I wonder if people sit around in LA talking about how they wish/think that houses in Beverly Hills might be worth 200K in a few months…

    zzzzzzz

  2. 11217 – I was referring to pitbulls general complaint that NYC is unaffordable – when really it might well be affordable if you’re not trying to buy more bedrooms than you have beds.

    I agree with your general permis – there is plenty of affordable market rate stuff within the boundaries of NYC.

  3. God, if these people would just stop with the serious posts, it’ll never get to 110 🙂

    Biff, typical, put the blame for your deficencies on someone else.
    Who should I blame for my bad spelling? Bxgrl??

  4. I don’t need a 2 bedroom, dittoburg. I was using that as an example for a couple who might have a kid.

    Regardless, there ARE plenty of neighborhoods in the area which are affordable. You can either check them out and make some compromises, or continue bitching about the high prices for the next 40 years.

    Park Slope ain’t never gunna be cheap again. The sooner you come to that conclusion, the better.
