^ i can see why the first is more but not 400,000 more
can someone please answer why these two apartments, both 2 bedrooms, had a 400K range??? ashland is a fine block and plaza st is too (albeit a little nicer). this range makes no sense. are we as consumers getting taken?
pollenator bees or no, I’m sure as hell gonna get mine.
And btw, The What doesn’t even have a 101-level understanding of basic finance and economics. I think he just reads wikipedia or something. People like him (and half the other ding dongs here) are why I’m not real worried about waking up poor some day.
Paris Hilton would be a big step up from the current prez.
Saying “the what is right” is similar to holding a sign that says Paris Hilton for prez.
most people in new york who are not wealthy have no concept of the amount of wealth that a lot of people here have accumlated.
no idea, whatsoever.
yes, people may get a little poorer. this is true.
when we’re talking of millions of dollars here, you can afford to be a little poorer.
just because you don’t have the millions (nor do i) doesn’t mean it isn’t out there. there’s money like you wouldn’t believe. even in brooklyn.
12:58 – At least I have a great job as a CPA, if things get really bad I should still find work doing bankrupsy work.
Just Kidding, but seriously, the sky is falling stuff is a little over the top.
Pollenator Bees? Come on. Back in the 50’s and 6o’s my parents were facing nuclear anhiliation. Life will go on for most – maybe you will be much much poorer, but maybe you should have thought about that before going to school for “Marketing”
The What is right. His writing style is a little rough around the edges, but hey, the rough around the edges folks aren’t delusional. They can read the tea leaves as well as anyone else, and they have the added benefit of being able to see that they’re not immune to history’s ups and downs. Which is more than I can say for people who are taking out thirty-year mortgages on $1million-plus properties in Brooklyn right now.
I mean, AllState stops renewing their homeowners insurance policies in NYC, oil is $80/barrel with no hurricanes, the dollar is crashing, there are bank runs in England, hedge funds are imploding, all of our pollinator bee populations are dropping dead for no reason, we have barely 6 inches of topsoil left, and everyone just thinks, well, at least I’ve got a great job in advertising. Wake up, crazies. We’re at the top of the roller coaster, it’s all downhill from here. Everyone is about to get much, much poorer.
Personally, I love The What. And kinda agree with him.
