lechacal of course its true. Cant pick a girl up in the meatpacking and bring here back to Brooklyn! Thats what our guys want who are in there twenties and thats what I wanted to
The notion that young Wall Streeters don’t live in Brooklyn is absurd.
On my commute every morning, I’d say AT LEAST 50% of those who get on at Grand Army Plaza, Bergen, Hoyt, Nevins, Borough Hall and Clark get off at Wall Street.
“the only wall street people who would live in these buildings are the back office people who work in metrotech.”
WRONG
“The young Wall Streeters for whom these buildings are designed DON’T LIVE IN BROOKLYN”
WRONG
“These are Manhattan prices. Why live at this location for these prices.”
RIGHT
@fsrq: not being hostile at all, i just think that that kind of apartment isnt worth the money…i believe in bang for your buck…and whats the point of living with 2 roommates…if i’m making that kind of money, surely i can find a studio or 1 bdrm for $2000 in a decent area. not that downtown brooklyn isnt decent, but i highly doubt that the people moving into this building would even brave going to a store on myrtle avenue.
i’m an owner by the way. not stating it to sound snooty or anything but just wanted to clear any assumptions.
the only wall street people who would live in these buildings are the back office people who work in metrotech. Most of them make 50-60 a year. Our company got an inside deal for our new hires at Silver Towers. we like our guys to get laid 🙂
Fine, fsrq. Even worse for $72K/yr. Hardly enough wiggle room for lifestyle and savings (retirement, rainy day AND downpayment for purchase). If I grossed 72, I wouldn’t be blowing half of it on housing. No way! And as this depression deepens, I don’t think such salaried folk will either if they are so lucky to have a job.

11217 – Trust me, they do. This is my tribe, so to speak.
Read my post, moron.
BHO – FYI – the 30% figure, in terms of standards of affordability is for GROSS income
