I'm not happy that people are losing their homes. These folks probably lost their jobs on Wall Street and now are losing their homes. Yeah most are probably jerkoffs but still no one want to lose a home. I do hope that the NYC bubble starts to break so some real middle class folks can start to own their places comfortably.

This city can't sustain itself by the way things have been going. Sorry.

@Thinktwice It's good to see you indulging in a bit of schadenfreude, however you do realize that you'll essentially be bailing out these deadbeats in the form of higher taxes....

The banks fought each other to give the Wall Street people the million dollar mortgages after they read the phony applications and boraxed income figures supplied by the mortgage brokers. They now are reaping the fruits of their greed. There are good reasons why the high end Co-Op Boards want a 50% cash down payment or allow no financing for the sales in their buildings. It keeps the rif-raf out.

Call me a hater, but this ought to wipe that smug look off their faces. Yes, I am enjoying this.
