I'm suspecting that I'll likely have to leave the 5 boroughs in order to buy a home, which really disappoints me. My partner and I combined have a pretty good income, but we simply cannot afford to buy the $450-700K+ 2BR condos in our neck of the Brooklyn woods. Bleh.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19193 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19193 Comments Tue, 30 Mar 2004 16:44:19 -0500 <p>Brooklyn isn't much cheaper and parts are equal price-wise to Manhattan. Check out the prices in Cobble Hill, Boreum Hill, Ft. Greene and Park Slope if you don't believe me. I'm looking right now and it's mighty frustrating.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19192 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19192 Comments Tue, 30 Mar 2004 15:55:26 -0500 <p>"thats why people should move to brooklyn." and how long until theres a housing shortage there?</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19191 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19191 Comments Tue, 30 Mar 2004 14:54:39 -0500 <p>These prices blow my mind. I bought a 2000 sq. ft. home on 4 acres just outside of Little Rock, Ark., for under $100,000.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19190 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19190 Comments Tue, 30 Mar 2004 13:43:56 -0500 <p>thats why people should move to brooklyn.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19189 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19189 Comments Tue, 30 Mar 2004 13:43:43 -0500 <p>thats why people should move to brooklyn.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19188 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19188 Comments Tue, 30 Mar 2004 11:04:14 -0500 <p>Manhattan needs more housing, but numerous factors conspire against new construction. Meanwhile hi-rise after hi-rise goes up in Jersey City and Hoboken, further and further inland from the Hudson. We should start a pool to guess the month and year that the population of Hudson County, NJ (608,975 in 2000, 47 sq. mi.) exceeds that of New York County, NY (1,537,195 in 2000, 26 sq. mi.). My guess is June, 2023. Save the date!</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19187 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19187 Comments Tue, 30 Mar 2004 10:50:07 -0500 <p>Landlords! Apparently the real estate experts say the rental market is "soft," which we don't really believe or else we'd be living in a 2 bedroom loft the Village for $1500. Buyers who can't afford to outpay other buyers get fed up and rent instead.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19186 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/03/30/nyc_real_estate_101_lots_of_money_for_not_much.php#comment-19186 Comments Tue, 30 Mar 2004 10:48:28 -0500 <p>Wait I'm not clear, so when they say there was a good impact on the rental market, does that mean good for renters or good for landlords?</p>
