The Where and The What should totally hook up (The What really needs to get laid)
Fools and their money…
I am the WHERE.
Someday the what will poop his pants.
The Oracle of Lodi speaks . . .
You know what they say about Lodi – If you can make it there, who’d notice?
I saw on the news last night that Lodi, NJ is being bombarded with crime.
I guess that’s why the What is up in arms this morning.
“Hey what,
Like I said yesterday, you might want to go waterskiing or go to the park or walk across one of our lovely bridges or go camping in the adirondacks or…
we’re all gonna be dust someday, dude. please go away and get a life.”
Oh Look, a flower child… Pretty flower child. Let’s all chant.. Om.. Om.. Om…. Nope it’s not working, Later I have to go now…
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
Considering all of the top sales are townhouses except the condo in Dumbo, I wonder what a townhouse would go for in Dumbo if there were any…
Does anyone else realize that even if NYC/Brooklyn prices takn 30%, they are still going to be one of the most expensive markets in the U.S.
Halve all of the above prices, and we’re still talking about Greenwich, Ct. prices.
Not trying to mock you dobbs but I’m sure these sales here today were considered “reasonable” by both the buyers and the sellers.
