House of the Day: 170 South Oxford Street
This house at 170 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene is a cutie, all the more charming for its unusual large front yard. The 4,000-square-foot brick house, which is asking $1,675,000, appears to be in excellent shape too. Probably its biggest drawback is its location. While quite convenient, these blocks between Fulton and Atlantic generally…
This house at 170 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene is a cutie, all the more charming for its unusual large front yard. The 4,000-square-foot brick house, which is asking $1,675,000, appears to be in excellent shape too. Probably its biggest drawback is its location. While quite convenient, these blocks between Fulton and Atlantic generally don’t command the same prices as those to the north. This place in particular has an uphill battle given its proximity to the Ratner-developed newish townhouses.

“If you argue with him you do so in a house of mirrors of his devising.”
Slopefarm, this is classic. Such a good description of the headbanging exercise in futility and masochism known as arguing with the What.
S&P 500 off by 8% today and The Dow off 680.67 (7.71%)!!!!
Yep every thing is fine,NOT!!!!!!!
This is the crash month and I don’t think anything the Fed does will save us.
Buh Bye.. RIP Mutant Asset Bubble..
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
DIBS, re: “History is made here today at 2:45 PM The What produces his first post with no spelling errors.”
I count about 14 missing commas.
But the real point is there is no point in engaging what on substance. You cannot disagree with him on any point without him posting as if you have disagreed with everything he has said or thinks he has said in his myriad posts. If you say this is a recession not a depression he will sooner or later say you predicted there would not be a recession. If you argue with him you do so in a house of mirrors of his devising. It is a senseless exercise. You won’t convince him, he certainly won’t convince you and I can’t imagine anyone who is looking to dialogues provoked by the what to learn about what is goin gon in the markets or the economy.
And what, I take comfort that DIBS’s fund is solvent from the fact that he bothers to respond to you at all. Anyone with even a modicum of panic about their hedge fund wouldn’t take the time.
Miss Muffett–I agree that predicting the end of the recession is as stupid as declaring that we are no doubt headed towards the Great Depression II. Nobody knows. And everyone’s hot air predictions good and bad will most likely prove to be incorrect. It sucks, its going to suck for some reasonably lengthy period of time and then it will stop sucking sometime. That’s as far as I will go.
Look guys, I’m totally against the What’s incendiary delivery but everyone has pretty much admitted that he was right about an unprecedented financial meltdown. As we speak, the Dow has tanked another 7% today. Is it the end of the world? No. Will things recover? Eventually. But we’re in uncharted territory, and the economy is bad, period. There really is no historical precedent for what’s happening, so I would not be so quick to predict a quick recovery.
The more you look at this house, the more average it is becoming.
Nothing special.
No What, it’s not a DEPRESSION. Learn to sort through the information and get the facts correct. Although it may actually be a depression in NJ.
And you remind me of Chicken Little.
but, wait, I thought the proximity to the Ratner townhouses should be a good thing. aren’t they just the type of low-density subsidized and/or low-income housing we (and anyone else that we should allow to buy into the neighborhood) are supposed to champion, instead of the high-rises that we are supposed to protest? what is wrong with these houses? is it just that Ratner made them?
Mr Joist…can that be a vent pipe??? What kind of jerryrigging is that??? Besides, it looks to be about 8″ or so…too large for a vent stack. And why the hell wasn’t the AC soffit run up against the wall instead of out towards the middle of the ceiling???
