This board has gone to shit!

great post.

lol

ditto.

I agree this board has gone to shit - the ratio of relevant RE posts to crap is diminishing every day..SE should start moderating..

considering that you only post threads dealing with national economic trends you're a fine one to talk. i haven't seen you on a comp thread once. or a neighborhood RE thread. or a where are rent prices thread. you're on the s&p threads.

only if you don't like the message... $643psf 200RSB, $1000psf Grand Millennium... the contagion is spreading outward to inward..... the disease is most easily diagnosed by irritability, loss of 0 in bank account, marital discord, cursing of brokers and feeling like your abode no longer gives you JOY... and finally, limpness in bed....

yep...smithers always gets me posting as does shrimpie/carol etc... I've got such a following...

hey howz your Grand Mill "home" going... lots of trades just north of $1000psf... won't be long now till $800psf... give it 2 quarters....

It's the time of the year, does it get quieter than this? All over the city the RE market hears crickets. they tell me that all things 'spring a new' as soon as all the money get's back from the beach, Rheinbeck, Maine, Jersy shore, Moon, South of France, Tuscuny, etc.. Then everything heats right up...............right?........right?.........

Who the hell knows? My money say's RE has a sleepy Q3,Q4. Lot's of desperate noise, few closings. Might start to see the inventory numbers climb as those look to flee a sinking ship as well as some product emerging from the shadows. You can't hold development property off the market indefinatly and the conversion to rental property has begun. 2010 should see the rental market continue to flood which we all know forces RE valuations down. Should be difficult keeping the powder dry.

nothing like 18% mortgages to kill off any pending purchases.... one other thing... at these low rates... lock in a 30 w/o prepayment penalties unless you can't budget.... the bank's giving you an option to pay back in 30, take the 30 cause you can always make a 30 into a 15, but not the other way around (or course this is given historical low rates at moment and price differential of 30/15 not being too much).....

It's a slow moving train ain't it falco? That's what the young kids don't get... 2 yrs wait would/could turn a 1bdrm into 3bdrm thru the magic of bubble bursting...

imagine that.. AR & w67 together again.. point proven....actually w67 I think it's you who are following me rather than the other way - I certainly don't obsess or reply to all your rants - I'll leave that to others...you on the other hand continue to keep me posted on the the psf for the GM is, as if it matters to me...I guess I could let you continue believing I live there or have some financial interest there, but sorry, I don't..

Sorry forgot to mention that I bought a new '8-ball' shook it and that's the answer I got, word for word. They are making these '8-balls' a lot better then they used to. Here let me ask it another question, "Oh, great 8-ball who is the fairest of the all"..............Roubini!!! What the hell?
I'm returning this piece of shi........................
OK one more chance, "who has the bigest brain on SE?"...................Alpie!!!!

The '8-Ball' has spoken.

my eight ball says yours failed.

jsmith. please. feel free. show us a thread where you've added anything about local real estate. not just a link, not just a number. i don't care whether you have some interest here, frankly. you don't care to share, i don't care to probe. someone who posts links constantly with little to no discussion doesn't interest me.

aboutready, here's a value-added posting by someone, what do you think, I'll make the name anonymous for now so you aren't tainted

ignore this person
report abuse

only if i can get serviced in the cab rides : )

jsmith, have you shown us a thread were you actually discuss NYC real estate?

yeah jsmith, you are dangerously close to receiving a piss off or a fuck off from someone. I won't say her name, but it is about to happen soon, hope you are ready

piggie, you seem to be the nasty one these days. carry on.

but i would like jsmith to show me a couple of threads where he discusses nyc real estate. since, you know, he thinks it's the purpose of this board.

aboutready, let's be realistic. I was created to be nasty. To one person. And then I added one other person.

You, on the other hand, were created to "learn" and "contribute". But, unfortunately, all we got was nastiness.

You've never heard me say "piss off" or "fuck off" or "you little shit", have you?

oh piglish, you're so nice, so lovely, such a role model!!

That was a good retort. I'm going to go away because of that.

AR, my comment was "the ratio of relevant RE posts to crap is diminishing every day". I consider economic and financial news "relevant". By "crap", I'm referring to all the personal attacks that are increasing with more and more frequency.

"not just a link, not just a number. i don't care whether you have some interest here, frankly. you don't care to share, i don't care to probe. someone who posts links constantly with little to no discussion doesn't interest me."
thank you for sharing your criteria for what qualfiies are interesting to you, but I didn't really ask for it. I will keep it in mind for my next posting though..

oh piggy... let's make out again! jsmitty, seriously i'd take wonderboy over your posts any day. YOUR business is dead, will be for a long time... remember 2007, that is and will always be your peak earning year. You'll look back fondly at the careless way you used to drop $50 for a dog walker, $100 in cab rides and $300 dinners.... it sucks to pinch pennies when you are 30, sucks more w/ kid and 40, double sucks at 50 and no end in sight and triple sucks/blows when you're 60 and working at Wlamart as a greeter.

it's only a slow bleed from here.... don't give me shit about not in GM, you're full in and probably doubled down... how's the spare rental going? I'm giving you the same advice I'd give my family... if you're up, sell, rent and see where it all falls out in the next 3 yrs...... THE SAME ADVICE I am taking and giving.....

I disagree. Since I realized that ignoring a person also means that any threads that they started will disappear I've found a marked uptick in the quality of threads. Perhaps 3-4x better.

thsi thread proved my point.

lovin' it!

the idea that SE should moderate makes me sick.
you goddamn fascist PIG! You censoring bastid

Where would we be without AgentRachel taking it hard? Or CarolSt shoving pencils up asses.
This is a board for people to vent (as much as brokers defending bullshit sqrfootage, and how great they are doing.)

It all makes for a happy family

upperwest, agreed, SE should only moderate spam, double posts, and offensive stuff (blatant racism, homophobia, etc.). Otherwise, the ignore button is pretty handy.

this board is awesome - loving SteveF, LICC and all the other oblivious idiots posting!

"don't give me shit about not in GM, you're full in and probably doubled down... "
umm...ok, if you say so..
