There’s a “millionaires row” over in Borough Park… Lots of McMansions.. I forget, 14th or 15th Avenue. Lots of new “chateau” like construction – but granted, unlike Gravesend, individual homes are often sandwiched between much more humble housing.
> “where’s 11217 when you need him to back up your argument!??!”
I suspect that 11217 is alive and well and posting as swine flu. I had suspicions before. Posting the population/census article makes me darn near certain.
i would spend 4 mill to live next to an arcade. so it does make sense. dont have that 4 mill tho. but it must be true lo-lo-lo-location!

The ultra orthodox hasids are in Boro Park, Crown Heights and Williamsburgh. They are not spending millions on condos. The Sephardim are the wealthier of all of the groups and they live mostly along Ocean Parkway in Midwood through Gravesend. These were the families that were able to pay millions for houses not the ultra orthodox Hasids. As I stated previously, many in this Sephardic community were hard hit by the Madoff mess but I suspect that there are still some who can fork over millions to stay within the community.
Rob, that’s not nice.

I don’t doubt that prices will come down when interest rates shoot up, but isn’t it a bit much to expect tomorrow’s prices today?
Well, I can live with 2003-2004 levels…so maybe inertia will win out and I’ll be navigating stairs into my waning years.
Ugh!

The husband unit is fine…but has flat feet so clomps on the stairs enough to raise the dead. I’ll be (am) the one wincing with each step I take!
Team Bear go out and enjoy the day! Fuck the Bubble Assholes, let them live in their delusion and leave them alone….
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
