Stevieb: Looks like you’ve been PWNED again. Time for ANOTHER new screen name it looks like.
>there i spilled my secret anti-capitalism mojo/bitterness.
good job, antidope! does it all feel better now?

bho/dandel/sb: and what do you think those specific properties would sell for today? more than 10-20% off?
d’mas: io loans are certainly an issue; arms, not so much. on the other hand, for a crisis to develop you have to believe things don’t improve on the bank front in the meantime. certainly possible but looking increasingly unlikely, even if the profits are all on the back of taxpayer capital/money. there i spilled my secret anti-capitalism mojo/bitterness.
“I had been a season ticket holder to the new york philharmonic for many years and I am going to cancel because of you.”
And you win the award for either the least mature or most insane poster of the week!!!
And I would care, because??
You’re just pissed I showed you up on this thread and now you are acting like a 5 year old to retaliate. And again, why would I care you are no longer going to the New York Philharmonic?
11217, you should give it a rest too, from serving your banker overlords. You musician types depend on the morsels of food that fall off the table of rich overfed bankers and i can see why you continue to defend them. I had been a season ticket holder to the new york philharmonic for many years and I am going to cancel because of you. I hope you are proud that you made a difference to your fellow musicians.
>once again, am impressed by the large amount of $$$ changing hands on houses – regardless if transaction was x% below peak, ask,….
yeah, wall street firms are paying out a lot of bonuses after receiving and keeping tax payers money.

regardless of where/how that money came about, am still impressed by these large transactions. Even if I won the lottery, I would be hesitant buying something $2M+ given the terrible econ we’re in and that these houses aren’t huge bargains (ie 50% off peak,….)
Stevieb,
1. How interesting that you just joined today on brownstoner.
2. I JUST SAID (if you would read other people’s posts) that and I quote “I think maybe one or two of the very nicest houses on Montgomery or 3rd Street may have gotten close, but that was CERTAINLY not the norm.”
ONE property does not comps make. Do you understand that?
You MUST be dandel. If not, you two are sharing a brain. Or a half of one.
> The notion that townhouses were selling for closer to $900 psf is not true.
Not true as well. 52 montgomery place and 551 3rd street both sold for north of $900/sq feet in 2008. Go check it out yourself.
> there’s very few of those in nyc. people are either living off the government or totally wealthy and are just as lazy as people on welfare.
Or on corporate welfare i.e. welfare for the wealthy bankers who got bailed out by tax payers.
