  1. I wonder how I live with myself when everyone is on to me. I have no rational retort so I will curse now and then change my log-in name so as to avoid the fall out and support my insane ramblings.

  2. Pretty sure that the Carlton Ave house is in 11238 What.

    Nope dumbass it’s 11205! Tell Brownstoner to start posting 11238 and 11216!!!

    “ghetto—you are very funny! Love the preemptive snark.

    You love a poster that has the word “Ghetto’ in his name. I wonder how you neighbors would feel about that WASDER! Now fuck off!

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end…

  3. Bay Ridge looks nice. Now that’s what a million dollar plus home should look like, a friggin mansion.

    Cash fo’ yo’ ass in Boerum Hill (or relative/gift).

    A serious seller in Park Slope. “Sell house now!”

    Fort Greene buyers must be telling themselves, “be careful what you ask for”. I’ve seen that place.

    Can’t speak on Greenpoint. I don’t too much care for that place. Might as well be on the other side of the Pulaski Bridge.

    ***Bid half off peak comps***

  4. I ignore the fact that Brownstoner has an article that highlights sales under $1 million which includes various zip codes, including 11238 and 11216 because that still does not fit my agenda.

    (Thank you, wasder.)
