"I live "across the bridge" in a beautiful family neighborhood..."
-Dude, you made a smart decision. You avoided the apartment brokers and found a descent place in Hoboken, Jersey City, Brooklyn or Queens. So, you are on here defending New York in that context. Meanwhile, whether you realize it or not, the nasty New Yorkers from Manhattan, whom we are talking about are laughing at you and sneering at you as some low, life "bridge and tunnel" Cretan who isn't fit to shlep them drinks down at Crobar or Sushi Samba 7. And for the record, I was in those Towers that day so I know from what I speak. I lived on Wall and Liberty Street by the Orange Cube and watched my place get destroyed. Let's not go there on the free emotional points...
If you are not some kind of communist, what do yu have against a free market in Real Estate.
Don't call me "dude". I am not part of any "bridge and tunnel crowd" I am a lifelong NYer. We bought our home 6 years ago . Before that we lived in a beautiful coop in Manhattan which we bought 12 years ago. We always use a good real estate broker.They are the only ones who have the good listings. They can only show people what they have and what they financially qualify for.
Why do you have such hatred for NY? It is the greatest city in the world and we love it.
