Then leave.
Lots more people would be very interested to take your place here, I guarantee it.
You should be able to pick up a bargain in DC. Just heard they are predicting to suffer more than most cities from the housing crisis.
Good luck and enjoy.
Thank you 4:00.
philly is also quite the bang for the buck
I just did a search in Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle and most townhouses there are listed in the 2 million dollar range.
And tanking downward, I might add.
The 800K is an anomoly.
3:52–Jesus, drop the salary thing. It’s irrelevant since the only measure that TRULY matters is salaries IN PROPORTION to housing costs. And I think that by 2007 most people have figured out that NYC has lost a lot of its “character”–however the hell you choose to define it. I don’t feel I’m getting my money’s worth out of NY, neither in housing (duh) or from whatever intangibles might be associated with living in what was once a pretty interesting metropolitan center. But it’s no longer Rome…
You could replace your first paragraph’s note of “DC” with “Brooklyn” and get the same thing 😉 If I were paying $2mil for a townhouse in Manhattan vs 800k in DC, that’d be one thing.
It’s the $2mil to live in say, a narrow box in Cobble Hill, or $1.5mil to live in Prospect Heights that I find fascinating.
I lived in DC for a long time, and have lived in NY for a long time. They’re very, very different towns, but for folks who’re stretched to their financial limits to live in a dicey neighborhood in Brooklyn, it’s always worthwhile to explore options.
Yeah, and then you’re stuck living in DC, which is a dull, one-industry, town with a transient population and high crime. Hardly comparable to Brooklyn (but, then, what is?)
Washington DC has approximately 581,530 people.
New York has approximately 8,200,000 people.
Comparing the two make you sound like complete morons.
Oh and given the other thread on the Atlantic Center, I’m guessing most of you don’t want to live in a city where 65% are African American.
DC is boring as hell.
No skyscrapers, pockets all around town that look like the South Bronx, very little retail in the city center, huge traffic problems.
There are nice areas and nice houses, sure, but it’s not even close to the level of New York.
Comparing it is ridiculous. Why do you feel it necessary to compare, 3:43? Because you think all cities should be similarly priced?
Are you a communist?
Perhaps when homes in Manchester cost the same as in London, or when they cost the same in Paris as in Stroudsbourg, or when they cost the same in Dusseldorf as in Berlin or in Hiroshima as in Tokyo then we can talk.
New York is the capital of the world for many things.
It is still a bargain by most standards.
I see no reason why a house in DC being a million and a house in New York being 2 million should be that unreasonable to grasp.
And no, salaries are not the same in DC.
If you think there are the same amount of 200K plus salaries in DC as their are in New York, you’ve never been to DC.
