You go onto every single Williamsburg thread and champion it also. Don’t be so delusional.
Not quite sure what more you contribute to the blog 11217.
Typically all your comments are either 1 of 2 things – championing of park slope/saying prices in other neighborhoods are too high because they aren’t gentrified enough. Or your just extremely bullish about the market (today’s gem)
And sometimes you go apeshit (see views regarding nannies, which were pretty offensive)
We’ve had some pretty good discussions in the past – as we typically have contradictory opinions and will typically back them up eloquently and recognize when your opinion is wrong.
Re: OT – yeah its inane jibber jabber – but brownstoner has turned into more then a real estate blog – its more of a community forum for like minded people. you don’t have to read the OT. Go to curbed if you don’t like – i’m sure you WON’T find any more civil discourse.
I have no idea why it was shut down, nor do I really care. The fact that it WAS shut down, speaks volumes.
This is not personal Dave…I like you.
I just think this blog has moved steadily downhill. If this place lost just a few of the more frequent posters (myself included) it would really become a huge snoozefest.
Well, besides the OT of course, where there seem to be more than enough going on daily. But I don’t think the OT is what Mr. B had in mind when creating this blog.
We already seem to have lost numerous posters…no more Sam, I rarely see Ditto or Tyburg nearly as much. I’m sure I’m forgetting many others, but all the crap on this blog is wearing thin for those who actually want to talk about real estate, it would seem.
If you’re going to comment about the reason for shutting down the OT yesterday maybe you should have tried to find out why it was shut down before spouting off.
Dave,
No offense, but wasn’t the OT shut down yesterday? Didn’t see what happened, but saw the remnants when I got back to town last night.
If Mr. B wasn’t afraid of losing the 300 comments a day from you guys, he’d probably take it away. But hey…it’s a free country…I don’t really care, but let’s not suggest that the OT is the standard for good conversation.
I’ve glanced in maybe 3 or 4 times total and simply thought it was high school chatroom type stuff. Pretty lame to say the least. What is especially offensive is the people who are out of work and posting 100 comments per 30 minutes. But again…to each his/her own. I’d just feel like a loser doing that all day when I’m supposed to be pounding the pavement.
Not really on par with what is supposed to be an excellent and high quality blog about real estate.
Mr. B lets you guys keep it so you don’t all run away crying. Otherwise, why would he WANT to keep it so you all can talk about nonsense all day? Think about it.
When newcomers come to this blog and see the OT, I’m sure lots are kinda grossed out by a bunch of “adults” talking about absolute nonsense all day.
There are other outlets for such things, you realize…
“One can’t discuss real estate without starting a war, and the OT has become romper room for people with zero social skills or those who are jobless “looking for work”
You like to read don’t you, 11217…you outed yourself again!
Here’s another Walnut for the other eye!
Who’s dissing the OT??? Someone who apparently lurks all day but is afraid to voice any opinion.
Apparently they are on other threads all day and unable to waste their precious time actually making friends on the OT.
Yeah, yeah, yeah I know you have plenty of friends already.
and your statistical sample of ONE person who made a gain from 2006->2009 is quite impressive. ever take a stats class? there’s some called outliers out there that will defy the norm.
Yes, that is fair to say Z.
And btw, the whole thing started with this quote:
“Given the timing, you just might be able to buy a nice place on the upswing of the market, then sell it for a profit, and you’ll be set financially for life after that.”
which was not mine, btw…
I was just trying to agree with Mopar that yes…it is POSSIBLE. Not probable.
