Sell Williamsburg, buy the Upper East Side

But does the Upper East Side have a Trader's Joe?

Do adults shop at Trader Joe's after finishing their college & post-grad years?

Wish we could short Williamsburg

there is a Trader Joes opening on 2nd ave and 86th if they ever finish the second ave subway

When will the 2nd Avenue subway be complete? When will the L train be shut down?

Yes, please. Leave Williamsburg. The hype of Williamsburg as a destination for visitors will decrease. But I don't think the L shutting down will have much of an impact on buyers who have a 5 year outlook. They may get a good deal and anticipate a return in 5 years despite the 3 year transportation inconvenience.

Yes of course, a 3 year transportation convenience. 1100 days.
And all transportation projects that have a negative return on revenue are always completed on time.

but why not bed-stv or crown heights instead??

I did this a year ago. So far it's been great. I recommend it to everyone - post-war units east of Lex trade well below Williamsburg condos.
