“he sooner the Federal government gets out of the business of subsidizing million dollar homes the better.”
yep, that means in NYC, and other hi-price areas, only those with family money for the downpayment or very high paying jobs can buy. The rest can carry on renting.
“I’m not trying to defend higher numbers BUT PLEASE, IF I CAN BUY A 2,3 OR 4 FAMILY FOR UNDER $100K, PLEASE SHOW ME WHERE”
Me, too! You can’t even get 1 flr condo in a brownstone or new contrunstion for those numbers.

Dontcha just love these kind of all-encompassing statements?
dave looks like you need to lower your rent, you are seriously over charging based on this report!
*rob*

*rob*

Then that’s gotta be a lot of below market rental units to bring down the numbers for all of brooklyn. If that’s so, how van the average Bed Stuy rental numbers be so close to the average numbers for all of brooklyn?
As far as the average home prices (2-4 family) in bed Stuy, I’ve never seen anything go for less than $400k. Wherre in god’s name does a 2-4 family go for under $100k to bring these numbes down like that? Something’s wrong.

as far as rents go, they could be including all apartments(rent regulated, rented to family members, etc) — not just market rents in 2/3 family houses.
