Jezz, talking about pure BS. Where's the sub 500 psf prices in LIC? I'm seeing prices above 800 psf lately.

Of the new buildings in LIC, what is the percentage of rental buildings and what of condos?

Hey whatever happened to str33teasier? Now we have to deal with Catguy instead.

Up up and away!!

You do absolutely nothing with your time, why dont you do a little research and find out? School is out for summer, no?

huntersburg: about 10 months ago

Jim, what is the typically recommended period for a marriage that is only a sham to get the spouse his or her citizenship? How long does your wife have left with you?

jim_hones10: about 10 months ago

I think you are a piece of shit.

Almost 8000 posts. What a waste.

huntersburg: about 10 months ago

I think Jason is autistic.

jason10006: about 10 months ago

Yet another ignore person. I post data that shows LIC (where I DO NOT and have NEVER lived) has HALF the crime rate of Murry Hill and like 1/3 that of Chelsea...and he starts hurling stupid insults. So many ignores.

next to morningside but east of morningside drive, i.e., as close to Columbia as you can :)

> no problem in LIC (and harlem) as long as you stay indoors. get a nice TV and you don't have to get out after dark

Jason will say you're talkign sh*t and blatant lies while he huddles in his LIC apartment, double-locked, hand-guns loaded next to the bed, curtains all drawn, etc .. u get the picture.

but if str33t said true things, you'd be ok with him/her?

jason10006: about 10 months ago

Nope, I just don't like people who say shit that is blatantly untrue.

Hey jason, r u also a LIC commuter and a Manhattanite wannabe ? I think so ... I smell someone looking from across the river wanting to be in the city!

HB, i am troubled by the thought of retarded people trying porn

huntersburg: about 10 months ago

Am I the only one troubled by the word "fucktard". There are certain people in society who shouldn't be having sex. Jason is one of them. Please, retarded people fucking, not a great idea. Jason, try porn instead.

"Been wrong all these years and still fighting it. I'll revisit this again in another 3 years when rent prices are up another 30%."

He must be looking at the same wrong chart LICC was... the one that was tracking *maintenance*...

;-)

"Another bitter wacko who doesn't know anything about LIC is commenting,"

careful with the bitter comments... it is pretty clear that you are seething here...

alanhart: about 10 months ago

LIC is such a tragic laughingstock, even long-established greyed-out trolls come up with amusing nicknames for it ... "Long Islandy City" is a SO cool one!!!

So true about LIC apartments ..

Everyone is SO cool for picking on Long Island City. Even "new" posters like str33teasier automatically get their insider credentials by picking on Long Islandy City.

"but I doubt these buildings can differentiate usage by unit so you save $50 a month there."

Oh yes they can. Co-op village on the LES used to give free electric, but now the unit owners pay.

Socialist: about 10 months ago

LIC is a slum. Why would anyone live there? WHen I drive through LIC to to get to the bridge to avoid the tunnel toll, I roll my windows up and make sure the doors are locked, especially when I drive past the PRISON that is right in the heart of LIC.

What is this, third grade? You're the one who want me to post personal info.

Kumbaya, brother.

Ino, asked you first. You love to talk here about how well you have done, so give us the number. No need to be coy.
