What a second, didn't you just say:

" My memory goes back to 1989, and I knew a whole bunch of people who
lost
money
on NY apartments."

If so, then how can you say:

" Hell, in most of 1980 you could still buy a Fiat in this country, and the
dood
who just died of very old age was not yet elected President."

Guess what Jax - for over the last quarter century I elected to leave NY and
never looked back. The light at the end of your tunnel is New Jersey.

but thanks for sharing, Jill.

When I left New York in the very early 80's you could own a house if you
simply paid the back taxes on it. On the way out through Queens, the
garbage
was piled so high on one street you couldn't even get over it in 4WD. New
York is also on of the few places with a sales tax on a house. My friend
paid 3% sales tax on a house in Forest Hills. With rising interest rates
and
offshoring of financial services it will be interesting to see what
happens
to NY real estate. If you weigh in the costs of taxes, living, decline in
health etc, New York real estate isn't that great. My condominiums in
Vail
and Aspen have done much better than NY real estate - and they are
usually
rented by New Yorkers on vacation!

At no time did anyone I know lose money on a NY apartment. They all
doubled
their money or much better.

Two of the three highest cancer rates by county in the NY/NJ/CT area are in NJ.
The third is across the Arthur Kill from the other two.

You'll still be here all weekend, posting, posting,
pretending to have a life. Enjoy, sucker. I have a house to finish, a
bay to sail on and friends to share it all with.

Yeah, SURE you do. I'm sailing today and tomorrow. There will be pics, but
we've yet to see a pic from you. All you do is blow hot air, bub.
Enjoy your "house." We'll enjoy sailng.

Bwahahahahahahaha!

I believe you are referring to "The War of
Northern Aggression."

I think you shoud stay home and be ready to answer questions about that $15
power cord you have on ebay. The sale of that thing might put you in the black
this month.

I have a bit more than that on Ebay, no wdon't I? Being in the black isn't the
issue. Not having to pay for slip, winter storage, plastic wrap, painting and
buffing is the point. I've sold a LOT of those cables.
And I'm still going sailing at 1:30 while you post away!

Not right now Jax, I have some pretty bad gas pains. Sprinkle some
phlogiston on it and see if it makes any sense.

actually, that country across the Arthur Kill was Tory.
