Good news from the New York Observer about the Brooklyn residential rental market: Evidently the smaller properties and more diversified owner base is making for smoother sailing than in Manhattan where a few large companies are being forced to offer increasingly sweet incentives:

For now, most of Brooklyn’s smaller landlords are living in a world apart from the rough-and-tumble Manhattan market, where rents are already falling in several neighborhoods, and panicky property owners are slashing rents, sometimes by hundreds of dollars, and offering any incentive they can think of to help put tenants in their units. In Brooklyn: not so much.

Have any brownstone owners had to rent out their garden apartment recently? How did it go?

    Someday these loons will be extinct.

    Facing Budget Gap, Schwarzenegger Urges Lawmakers to Bridge Divide

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123203902648986141.html

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. — With the state facing fiscal collapse, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will urge lawmakers today to put aside partisan differences to close the state’s ballooning budget gap.

    “There is no course left open to us but this: to work together, to sacrifice together, to think of the common good, not our individual good,” Mr. Schwarzenegger plans to say at his sixth State of the State address, according to advanced excerpts of the speech.

    The Republican governor is facing his biggest challenge since voters chose him to replace Democrat Gray Davis in a 2003 recall election. Over the next 18 months, California faces a $42 billion budget deficit, due in part to declining tax revenues in a state hit especially hard by the economic downturn.

    More imminently, the state is projected to run out of cash in weeks, which may require it to delay tax refunds and other payments starting Feb. 1. “The reality is that our state is incapacitated until we resolve the budget crisis,” Mr. Schwarzenegger plans to say.

    Yepp and what do you say about the “value” of your Brownstones?? You are in serious trouble and you retards are going to get smashed real hard! I love the comments from the delusional side of things with DIBS being “Head Cheerleader”!

    Say Buh bye…

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end…

  3. It would seem that most people who visit this site prefer brownstone living. I think it is fair to say however, that the site is about “Brownstone Brooklyn” which includes the apartment buildings, ugly white condos in the sky, restaurants, fedders boxes, construction sites, hipsters, asshats, bitter renters, stroller pushers and corner bodegas that surround our beloved brownstones.

  4. Gravis…..why don’t you add something to the discussion like we all have done above.

    When you attack someone in particular and call names, expect that you will get it back, especially when you have no clue what you are talking about.

    Otherwise STFU and have a nice day.

    christopher, our newest poster, Gravis here is an example of one of the many “loons.”

  5. “My original point, long, long ago, was to say that renters of new and old apartments are apples and oranges. Some people like one kind, others another. The new availability of new construction condo apartments would have little impact on those who would prefer a brownstone apartment, or even a pre-war apartment building apartment. I don’t see the controversy in that…”

    no controversy – it is just false and easily demonstrated since all over this city for decade after decade the rents of both types of rentals move in direct correlation to each other (except where rent controls prevent it)
