f**k manhattan!

amen

ha

u whiner. the market is the market. i guess u want a cadillac for 5 grand too. try the bronx, too while you're at it. people earned the money, and no one is putting a gun to your head to buy in manhattan

you should get a better job, you probably wouldn't be as angry if you kept up with the rest of us

Oh pray tell how exactly did people EARN that money, given we have seen an unprecedented global housing boom over the last decade? Make no mistake, this has been a bull run like no other, where those who got LUCKY by buying their property in the mid 90's have benefitted through no skill of their own, no business acumen and certainly nothing to actually EARN the double digit inflation of prices that Manhattan and other major metropolitan areas have seen.
Anyone that thinks the people there are any more than lucky is kidding themselves.

Why don't you look for apartments in Newark, NJ. I'm sure you'll find it affordable.

I'm not angry because i can't "keep up with you", i am glad i have my independence and a job i love and can't wait to get to each morning, working regualr hours. I might not earn 6 figures, but one day i will do, and i know i'll be happy which is more important than whoring myself just to be able to live in a building full of rich, boring unculturled assholes with nothing to add to society and nothing to share with the world. That's just my personal opinion of course :)

Manhattan has changed, and not for the better, there is no denying. I don't wish to be a part of it, far from it infact, which is a point you seem to miss. What i shed a tear for is the Manhattan of yesteryear, a vibrant pulsating city that was not over run with gormless idiots whose sole occupation in life is to make a lot of money.

"LUCKY" by buying property in the 90's??????? Winning the LOTTO is lucky, not making
real estate deals!!! Sounds like a huge case of "SOUR GRAPES".

We just bought property in Manhattan last month, you don't hear us crying at the price.
People that buy property are not "LUCKY", just smart to avoid paying others rent. If you
look back at any real estate in the past, its all gone up.

Hope you don't carry this anger on forever. You have to realize that there will always be
markets that you are priced out of and learn to accept that!

Probably Manhattan is not the place for you to be looking, maybe not Honolulu Oceanfront
either.

If your being paid a salary, "someone is already creaming off the best working days of your life".

Also if you don't scrimp & save, you will probably never buy property.

"I got into an argument with my imaginary blog-friends. Then I showed them what's what by hurling some wicked insults and dropping the a-word. I win!!!"

Why are you blaming the seller? If you were "lucky" enough to own Manhattan property, you would be selling it for the same prices you are complaining about. Then you demonize the entire Manhattan population? Haha. If thats what you really think, then I'm sure all of Manhattan is glad you will not be living there.

Frankly, you sound like a whiney teenager who just wants some attention by using foul language and saying outrageous things. Come back when you are little more mature and have more than two pennies in your pocket.

Here here!!! I agree with the above poster.

I love it how this clown insults so-called uncultured people and actually spells it "unculturled." Maybe you should pick up a book and learn to read and spell properly before you go on mindless rants. Good luck finding a place to buy in Brooklyn too if you make less than $100k - bummer but it's true.

Oh me oh my, lots of frustrated sellers in here by the looks of things. Oh well, i guess it was only a paper fortune to begin with right?

Manhattan is where it is at!

Is where what is at? Overpriced real estate?
