“u calling me stoopid, shill?”
It’s “stoopit”.
I am glad the shit Madonna worked out for the guy. I personally thought the whole thing was shit, trading off an image invested with a power beyond him. What will happen when people with little brains, like Madonna and this Chris Offal guy run out of ecclesiastical images?
Anyway, I am glad to see the prices, being long Ft. Greene real estate.

Don’t forget Obama, Summers, and Schumer, the neutered and spineless dogs who serves their moneyed masters.
The NYC tea party movement is staging a rally if you are interested.
Great deal on the Bedford Ave building. I’ve always wanted to own my own Verizon Wireless store. Sigh.
Legion – It’s now Stackism, not populism.
antidope – Since when is buying into a collapse good timing? How can you NOT see significant further declines after summer? You seem to be such an intelligent guy otherwise.
WHY IS THERE NO MENTION OF THE EXPIRATION OF GOVERNMENT HOUSING STIMULUS WHEN DISCUSSING MARKET DIRECTION?

u calling me stoopid, shill?
allow me to borrow a line from you, *that’s rich!*
if you have a solid job or business and liquidity and at least a neutral view on the world then yes now would be a good time to buy.
otoh, if you’re negative on any of those, i’d not recommend throwing so many eggs in one basket.
…yeah my spelling is suckish,
substitute derivative for derivitive and
you’ll get my meaning as far as art that
derives its meaning from schlocky
sensationalism at the expense of
religion (think Madonna’s entire career).

Was the 4th St house is very rough shape? I’m thinking $1.8m is LOW for this location.
“The widget really butchered Fort Greene. People just can’t get their heads around the fact that top of the market buyers want to live there.”
Yes, indeed. Spike has bought and sold every brownstone in Brooklyn.
