I believe Syrian Jews had a lock on the home electronics market in NYC at one period of time… They owned Crazy Eddies, Nobody Beats the Wiz, etc. Not sure if that’s still the case.
C’mon, you know it’s true. N one has that much money legally.
I had a feeling my sincere question would bring PropJoe out from under his rock…
They steal it. It’s blood money
Archterrorist/sam, any insight into where the Hassidic / Syrian / Sephardim get all their cash? I’m tempted to assume it’s stereotypically through the diamond business on 47th Street, but they can’t all be involved in that business.
I had heard that prices were out of whack because of walking proximity to temples – hadn’t realised it was this crazy.
The first two are tear-downs although in the current climate they may become foreclosures. unless it is a Hassidic/Syrian or Sephardic community. It is true that the value of property in Orthodox communities within walking distance of Temple, is a market all onto itself.
No there is big Hasid/Sephardim money out here. It’s a totally different universe and prices are not related to the Brownstoner scene.
Am I missing something or do those first two look like the wrong price?
