4:49, agreed. He’s shitting himself and rambling on like an over-tired child. I think he needs a pacifier and a binky.
I think the What needs a nap or something. His posts make less sense as the day goes along.
What, please pass that shit. TGIF
I don’t get it. Are you saying that Canada will invade Brooklyn?
If you buy in the North Slope for 2.5 million…a 4 or 5 story…each floor would rent for about 2500-3000. Times that by 4 = 12,000 or 15,000 a month.
Seems like that would cover the mortgage to me.
This thread is starting to sound like a conversation with subarbanites about how long their commutes are. They all say things like 37 minutes or 49 minutes. That’s the time the trains takes to get from their local station to Grand Central, Penn Station, etc. 4:00 only notes the point in passing that all these 15 minute trips to Union Square does not factor in walking to the station, waiting 5-10 minutes for a train, the delays due to congestion ahead (which makes you wonder what congestion since the last train was at least 5 minutes ago) and then walking to work. On a good day it takes me 35 minutes door to door to midtown and I get on the R train at Boro Hall.
4:00, Thanks for the response. I’ve been looking for a brownstone or townhouse, but I’ll check out the Kensington/Ditmas listings for reasonable buy/rent ratios.
2.21, you asked what neighborhoods can you buy for market rent prices? Kensington. A friend has a one bed there that she pays the same in mortgage and maintenance as the market rents. The co-op buildings in Ditmas are the same way, I believe.
And in my experience the Q from Cortelyou to Union Square is consistently about a 25 – 30 min ride. That’s a longer commute of course once you factor in getting to the stations.
Pullback to normal levels? Yes.
Price reduction? Yes.
Balloon has burst? Yes.
Depression? No.
The TWAT.
We’re gunna win this WAR!
