Ecept for the van part that is me, and since I have not paid the mortgages this month that van thing ain’t far from the truth Nickel.
“I think the u.s. has been polarizing into those that are active and those that are in a way letting life pass them by in front of the television.”
You’re probably right about the middle- to upper-income crowd. But let’s not forget about that ever-growing third segment, the ones who are working like dogs, sleeping in their vans, and have no health insurance.
What’s up with all the Communist Manfestio bullshit? Park Slope is more than worth the price it commands. Much of Brownstone Brooklyn is undervalued.
If you want cheap, there’s always Brownsville.
*waits for someone to call him racist*
do you wanna go on a date with me, 4:16?
I remember once on a visit to my parents in Florida in the mid-90’s, I got off the plane and the first thing I saw was a woman with a mullet haircut all dressed head to toe in stonewashed denim, including stonewashed denim pumps. That’s all I have to say.
I’m sure everyone has seen this recent report, here. It was on Colbert Report and the news channels. It confirms what we’ve been talking about, how the bohemian, arts and gay culture inreases property values:

take away the beach and disneyworld and florida is pretty bad, in my opinion.
i feel like i’m going to a different country, most of the time.
and not in a good way.
L.A. is doing okay too, if you are looking at the more hip, fashionable neighborhoods right in L.A. (not suburban sprawl in the Valley or Orange County). My friends there say they have not noticed that much of a slowdown. A condo in their building sold recently, in only a month, and without a price cut. Might have taken a couple weeks longer than usual, but that’s not a big deal. Nothing like say, Florida where people can’t sell houses or condos at about any price or over any length of time right now.
yup…seattle doing ok, portland…san francisco to an extent.
these are places that continue to hold value and are some of the only other cities i’d even CONSIDER moving to.
there’s a REASON why you can get a house in phoenix or texas or utah or south carolina or a lot of beautiful cities for 300K. it’s because many of the people that habitat those cities do not want the kinds of things i want…namely lots of good restaurants open late, as much culture one could soak up in a lifetime, walkable vibrant streets, beautiful architecture, interesting people, etc.
they, for the most part want homes. big ones. it’s just different. I think the u.s. has been polarizing into those that are active and those that are in a way letting life pass them by in front of the television.
It’s true for us, 12:20, politics has become exactly why we dismiss anywhere other than NYC, or the West Coast. You’re right. I used to want to live in the South, because I love it there for many reasons, but hello? Creationism in schools? And the obsessive love of guns? Forget it. In the South, Colorado, the Midwest, Texas and Arizona you’re surrounded by religious fanatics on all sides who actually believe they are waging a war. Creepy. And you can see this reflected in the real estate market, certainly. If you look where the real estate market is doing okay, it’s places where well-off, educated Liberals are drawn to.
