Here, here, lowintheheights. You hit that nail on the head!!!! Thank you.
So where are middle-class families, who might have been able to afford Manhattan a generation ago, supposed to go? Leave the city? Whose taxes will subsidize all the poor people, then, Mr. What? You end up sounding more racist than those you point the finger at. Don’t you know that Fort Greene and Clinton Hill were “gentrified” by middleclass blacks first?
BHO–here is me responding the What asking me a question…(my answer in bold)
2. Do you think your “Investment” will appreciate in 2009?
I FEEL CERTAIN THAT MY INVESTMENT WILL DEPRECIATE IN 2009.

I assume you will return and apologize for unintentionally misrepresenting my position. I agonized over my purchase specifically because I knew it was a money loser in the immediate future. I have real feelings and thoughts and represent myself as accurately as I can because I think its important to be true to one’s self. I don’t invent internet personas to hype my point of view.
I come from humble begginings and I bettered my situation. I don’t forget where I came from and I speak to those who are still there. But I guess that still makes me an asshat.

NO, you’re an asshat for a lot of other reasons though.
Seriously… within minutes these devolve into “Open Thread” conversations that don’t seem to have anything to do with the original posting.
I bet there were (perhaps) some interesting comments about the $5MM price tag on the Gravesend place… but how can you actually read ANYTHING with this non-stop crap between the usual characters. Just lots of unsubstantiated cutting and pasting without purpose!!! AARGH!
wasder, these people can’t grasp the simplest aspects of homeownership.
What, Whuh, BHO, cornerbodega are all certain of one thing….that they can live in mom’s basement when they can’t pay their rent anymore.

I love getting through to Team Bull. It’s funny how Team Bear never seems to get hurt by my comments.
“What, I hope you read what benson wrote because the person you think is riding shot gun with you on your great cruise to the beyond is actually just an asshat waiting for houses to fall into his price range.”

BHO–Here is one quote from me about the nature of home prices and my attitude about it, from October 08
It is disconcerting to be “out” a substantial amount of money at any time and more so when it relates to one’s most important piece of property. However, if the monthly payments are manageable, the end result in a practical matter is negligible. As long as the market recovers in the next decade or so I am not concerned about my home’s value. I suspect once prices shake out to whatever level they are going to shake out to you will see more people doing what I did, and buying two family houses that provide some protection against monthly expenses.

This is Dave’s sockpuppet!
