Enjoyable fantasy. But my nyc condo is up 25% in one year, and my property taxes actually went down. I havent seen a single property go for asking price, and when one comes available there is a mad bidding war and it's sold in a week. The stock market is headed for a huge year again in 2005, and this keeps New York swimming in cash while other cities are still recovering from the recession. Obergrupenfuhrer Spitzer will be a destructive force as the next governor for sure, but it will take a lot more than him to bring NYC down.
If the city and state are doing so well, why in heaven's name are they going after folks that want to save some money?
If the city and state are doing so well, why don't they roll back the confiscatory cigarette taxes instead of wasting more taxpayer money on trying to find the folks trying to save some money?
It makes too much sense to do that, doesn't it?
