i’ve had the good fortune of seeing many great cities worldwide in recent years..spend about 1/2 my time in nyc (brooklyn) and the rest globetrotting
new york is great, but plenty of other cities are special as well
get out and see the world people…open your eyes..and stop being so full of yourself…cuz i can guarantee that no one on this blog contributes to what makes nyc special
Armchairwarrior, I too had to pretty much hound the agent at Prudential for over a week to get a call back about that house. It was really strange. Made me think something was wrong with the house.
Wow, the heaviness of this thread and the Atlantic Center thread are too much for a Friday. NYC is ultra-expensive and housing costs in proportion to salaries are outrageous, duh. So now we can’t even say that housing is expensive?? If you need a reminder (and Happy Friday!):

“and I’m sure you paid a great price for your Park Slope shoebox.”
It was worth every dime because I couldn’t be any happier about it.
Which is a lot more than I can say for you.
“5:30: New poster here. Just because you feel that, if there were a righteous God, you could afford more than a 2BR apartment in a nice neighborhood for $700K, does not mean prices are “out of whack.” Not when there are sufficient others with $700K willing to pay it. Which, whether you like it or not, there are. If you don’t like that, you’re free to rent, as the majority of New Yorkers do and always have. ”
You hit the nail on the head.
I think it’s this fact alone that makes so many people on this thread say they hate New York. So many people here CAN afford 700K.
It makes those who can not all the more resentful.
“pied a terre in Brooklyn”
Funniest post of the day…
Do you think people keep pied a terre’s in Pittsburgh, DC, Seattle, Boston…
Very few.
I’m curious what cities you have found in the U.S. that ARE special 5:41?
funny thing about the prospect heights house. i called about a billion times to see it, before it re-listed. nobody ever bother to call me back.
I hate because I resent the fact that I AM paying lots more for a city that IS just like any other city, or less even.
700K could buy you a 2 bedroom in Park Slope or Carrol Gardens or Prospect Heights or Boreum Hill or any number of areas. Or a house in Astoria or Jackson Heights or Sunnyside, or Sunset Park. Or a 3/4 bedroom in Ditmas Park or Kensington or Midwood.
What’s the problem?
You have too many kids?
Those neighborhoods too shitty for you?
