Tybur6;
I am personally in favor of a system that taxed producers less (i.e. income taxes) and taxed consumption more. There should be more of a balance between the two. However, it should be “behaviour-neutral” and that is where I part company with you. If a person honestly earns his money, he should be entitled to spend it anyway he or she pleases.
How would you draw the line? A large house seems to upset you, but we could go further. Should overseas vacations ( a huge energy hog) be banned? How about vacation homes? Cruises?
Live, and let live!
1) $583psf outside bkln brownstone. is there a syrian synagogue nearby?
2) actually 22% off ask, ‘ho.
3) you did your sums well here.
4) 100% exageration. actually 2.5% off ask
5) up 25% since ’05
hmm, is it:
A) well you have to hit 583 before getting to 300?
B) you have to go through 20%/2.5% off ask to get to 20% off comps to get to 50% of comps?
C) you have to go through 25% up comps to get to 50% off?
D) all of the above?
“I just needed an excuse to call 11217 a clownstoner”
Yeah, I took note. That was nice.

joe/11217 – I said average. 5% is no less an outlier than the 30% in sale No. 2. How’d you guys miss that?

Point taken. Anyway, I just needed an excuse to call 11217 a clownstoner…
Price tags don’t make any difference in this city?
Anyway, this is what I think. Attempts to regulate, curtail, or outright outlaw what you might call “consumerism” is a dangerous road to go down.
(Yes, the skewed property taxation is ridiculous.)

(Oh, and Pete, I don’t even think my house was 4,000 sq ft when I was a kid… I think it was more like 3,000. But I don’t think anyone would believe that 9 people could *possibly* fit into 3,000 sq ft.)
“Peak ask means absolutely zero” is an absolute exaggeration. Some are ridiculously high. Most are very close to actual comps (+/- 10%). Not as accurate as comps but the next best thing when comps aren’t readily available. If anyone disagrees, how much off would you say a typical ask is from comp?

BHO,
