“I bought knowing it was a depreciating asset because I wanted the space.”

“Two-faced, I know. It is what it is.” You really don’t care about the implications of this statement?
“When they was economically pushing poor people out of their neighborhood, the Asshats didn’t care!! Bed Stuy, Greenpoint, Flatbush, Williamsburg and Bushwick people lost their way of life so Meagan and Josh from Armpit OHIO can pay 1700.00 a month for a studio in the Ghetto!!!”
When I first came on this board I used to try to get into it with What about this kind of thing as I am definitely sensitive to the notion of people being pushed out of neighborhoods that they have lived in for generations. But I do wonder What, where else people were supposed to move to if not these neighborhoods.
xander, do you own your primary residence?? Do you own any secondary residences? I doubt it. You can’t seem to grasp the homeownership concept.
Legion…I knew the loons wouldn’t be able to figure out what you were saying and here’s the proof….
“”…as the consensus among assclowns and morons reaches totality, the probability of the opposing hypothesis being correct approaches certainty.”
Please elaborate. What do you mean by totality and how do you measure it? And what exactly is the opposing hypothesis?

cornerbodega doesn’t really understand anything at all, can’t do simple math and is just here for our amusement
“Glad to hear that BHO. somehow your tone made me feel otherwise.”
Everybody has a heart but I’m going to call out this MAB for what it is, and however I want to express myself, no matter who gets hurt. No holds barred. I’m close to people who are “ass out” but I warned them. Now I just watch in silence. I won’t rub it in people’s face offline because I have relationships I want to maintain. But boy do I let myself be heard on here. Two-faced, I know. It is what it is.
And enough with the sad stories about people losing “their” home. Effectively, considering fraud, it was never their home anyway. In some interpretations of the law, they could have been locked up (liar loans, etc.). “Losing their homes” is the best thing that could have happened to the overwhelming majority of “losers” (Rick Santelli) out there. No more stress. No more bill collectors. No more heat and hot water getting cut off. Now they can rent for much less money and stress. Reset. Pass GO and collect $200. Rental inventory is skyrocketing nationwide and mounting here.
The sad stories are for the banks who have to record these foreclosures on their books. The “losers” get off easy (7 to 10 years bad credit but that’s at least how long the depression will last and how long it will take them to save and buy again). Aging retirees are screwed but life aint fair. Let’s learn from it.

benson–you seem to have had the miraculous effect of silencing the poseur.
Someone needs to send the what an internet-etiquette guide. Not one that discusses that CAPS IS SHOUTING but one that points out that ROfLHM23KM#$% etc and !!!!!!!!!!! are used by ingenuous 14 year old girls incapable of yet expressing themselves fully in writing while being prone to melodrama.
No the the Assheads in Asshat Hill!!! I want all the Gentrification Crowd to get Assraped!!! Every last one of them! When they was economically pushing poor people out of their neighborhood, the Asshats didn’t care!! Bed Stuy, Greenpoint, Flatbush, Williamsburg and Bushwick people lost their way of life so Meagan and Josh from Armpit OHIO can pay 1700.00 a month for a studio in the Ghetto!!!
What, as you know I don’t agree with you about everything you write here but I must say this is one of the best encapsulations of your point of view I have read here. You unfortunately lump everyone together under one umbrella but there is at least a point of view here that I can wrap my head around.
