Geez 3:19, I certainly traipsed upon a deeply felt principle here!
What term other than ‘multicultural’ would you prefer I use so as not to make you vomit?
Or is it that the CONCEPT of me and my family wanting to have people of many different races and ethnicities and cultures living and raising their children and hanging out and running businesses around us that so sickens you?
I have often found Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn to be less melting pot and more patchwork quilt… with big carefully manicured borders. Some might say “that’s life”, but I don’t think it has to be.
I think its fine if people choose to live, or simply find themselves living with others just like them, but its not what I want – for me or my kids. I grew up in Indiana for Christsakes. I had enough of that to last a lifetime.
So yes, we’re looking for a pluralistic hood, or a multicultural one, or a mixed one, or whatever the hell you want to call it. If it makes you feel like vomiting is eminent, get thee off to a toilet. With a quickness.
And thank you trudylou, for an open and non defensive response.
So 40K in closing costs.
Not 50K.
To some people, 10K is still lot of money to just throw in there as chump change/exaggeration.
1.7 million is the new average apartment price in Manhattan, 4:57.
Thank you 4:21 for comments on transaction costs which are a product of the purchase price and mortgage amount. As a recall, the mortgage tax was about 2%, the mansion tax was about 1% and title insurance was about 1% so those items total about 4% on a $1 mm purchase. That’s going to be standard unless you’re not financing your purchase and can avoid the mortgage tax. My point in making the post was that it’s hard to trade in and out of NYC real estate because the transaction costs are so high. I bought a vacation house somehwere else (for about $75K) and my closing costs were less than $500.
As an aside, are there 2 more ridiculous taxes than the mortgage recording tax and the mansion tax? No matter what, it should cost the same to record a mortgage. With regards to the mansion tax, it was passed over 20 years ago and not indexed for inflation. I think $1 million is the average apartment price in Manhattan now.
monogomy is so 2007.
4:48, I never said I was gay, not that there’s anything wrong with that (just hate homophobes). Must be wishful thinking on your part.
“Speaking of hot, did anyone else happen to see Catherine Zeta Jones yesterday in Park Slope filming that movie on St. John’s??”
4:43 coulda had her
As opposed to your waffling back and forth between being gay and straight on this blog, Biff??
Speaking of hot, did anyone else happen to see Catherine Zeta Jones yesterday in Park Slope filming that movie on St. John’s??
One word:
