Well, leave it to Bob Toll to cast storm clouds over a Bloomberg news article that contains a slightly positive piece of news—the index of pending home sales rose 6.3 percent in April—about the national housing market. “What people are most scared of is looking like a schmuck,” said Toll, who believes the housing slump will last another two to three years, at a conference in New York last week. “What do I want to buy a home for and next year be looking at 10 percent less asset?” Economists, meanwhile, incorrectly predicted that the index of pending home sales would actually fall slightly in April. Either way, no one’s taking the news as a sure sign that housing is on the rebound, or that there’s going to be a substantial dent in the 5 million or so unsold homes on the market, or that the foreclosure rate is going to take a nosedive anytime soon.

  1. This new jackass that’s fighting with bxgrl has some serious personality disorders. Let’s start with inferiority complex and move right through to paranoia and a few forms of neurosis.

    He is the epitome of loser: disenfranchised and feeling a high level of entitlement for whatever reasons that stem from a dysfunctional family environment during the early years.

    The name calling suggests a lower than average IQ and he has probably been called most of those names during adolescence. Additionally, he has a fear of women which has been manifested by his attacks on bxgrl. Most likely impotence problems as well.

    We don’t need your type on this blog.

  2. Are you not a renter from the BRonx who sells kitty litter for a living?

    Do you not try to rebuff others when they call you stupid by saying they should take a philosophy class?

    Do you not say, despite constant attempts to insult other posters becasue they annoy your and get under yoru skin – that they give you a laugh?

    You assumed I wanted ETHNIC cleansing. I said rich people come from all races. You are not rich. Being rich is not an ethnicity.

    What school of higher education did you go to and in what year did you graduate? What degree did you earn?

    – What, a stupid bxgrl

  3. Sorry t’What, I am not Bold Type GUEST.

    How dumb are you that you post something to tell me you won’t respond to me. Moron.

    You and bxgrl are the trolls on this site. Equally stupid. Equally deserving a a major dressing down. And I will supply it to both of you every single time.

    Just call me the “What, a stupid bxgrl.”

    -What a stupid bxgrl

  4. “hate the trash in the hood, including that loser the t’What, but will tolerate them until they are priced out and looking forward to a cleaner, safer borough.”

    Sounds like ethnic cleansing to me.Do you really think you’re fooling anyone? “btw: you compared me to a nazi who believed in ethnic cleansing. Are you trying to tell me I was something other than a white person?” Er, no-do you know what nazis are? I, without calling you a white person probably implied that indeed you are a white person with certain, well, disturbing leanings. You rally need to reread those sentences that you wrote because they make no sense- or at least no sense to anyone who knows anything about history.

    you’ll also notice I’m not the one losing my temper. I hardly think your last post makes you sound like an Einstein. Could you sound any more like a temperamental 5 year old having a hissy fit?

    I have been disputing you, you just don’t seem capable of understanding it. but I’m happy to be giving you a thrill (although it did sound very much like you are parroting my fish in a barrel reference). But not annoyed, just amused but it’s time to stop. have a nice evening.

  5. I know who the GPB Anon & Troll Anon is.. It’s Bold type Guy. Yep homeboy it’s you an for that reason I will not respond to any more Anon Asshat Mofo’s. If you want a dialogue with me, get a log-in.

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end…

    BTW Bxgrl, leave the trolls alone….

  6. bxgrl: you make the same comment every time someone calls you on your stupidity. You think it is fun and they gave you a laugh. What it really did was annoy you. That is why you keep at it. And I will admit I am getting a cheap thrill at your expense. The more you talk, the deeper the hole you dig.

    You don’t dispute anything I say. If it wasn’t true, you would have tried to argue the point. But you can’t since it is true. You are a piece of ignorant trash who rents in the Bronx and sells kitty litter for a living. You are a sad sack.

    btw: you compared me to a nazi who believed in ethnic cleansing. Are you trying to tell me I was something other than a white person? You are truly stupid. Go back and read your own posts and try to learn from the experience. You obviously didn’t learn anything at Hostos CC.

    You are trash and I will make every effort to remind you, on a daily basis, that you are trash.
