i was surprised to see the low-end at $500k, is that a closet or just for parking?

Mr Blairstowe and Mr Partridge
They said to me
To get a mortgage
You need an income lid
I thought it was free

― sexyDancer, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

maybe we shouldn't talk about this on a thread that brings them back here

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

re: shasta's comment about pricing -
i saw an ad for some fancy condo place the other day quoting prices starting in the 300s and that just seemed incredibly not possible.

― tehresa, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 23:21 (nineteen years ago)

mine was less than 500k (/yuppie shame)

― jaxon, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 23:26 (nineteen years ago)

yeah but you're in SOMA, not NYC.

― Steve Shasta, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 23:57 (nineteen years ago)

300s with monthly fee in redhook maybe?

I saw a warehouse for 800k in RH!

</yuppie>

xpost - that's brooklyn, not manhattan. (i actually have no idea what new york housing prices are like)

also, how'd you write angled brackets? it wouldn't let me

― jaxon, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 00:03 (nineteen years ago)

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 00:04 (nineteen years ago)

dude, before the NYC people bust your balls, quit giving west coast people a bad name.

wburg is 10 mins. from downtown. you can live on manhattan and be an hour+ away from downtown.

― Steve Shasta, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 00:20 (nineteen years ago)

there were condos on maspeth right x from you theresa that were starting at around 350,000 and you only had to put some insanely low dp down. like 0-10%. it sold out really fast.

― Yerac, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 00:40 (nineteen years ago)

oh wait
This was what i was talking about

― Yerac, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 00:45 (nineteen years ago)

― JW, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 01:11 (nineteen years ago)

oh, now what the hell! (re: maspeth condos)

luckily noone has raised the rent on the rock i live under ... yet

― bb, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

y'know, i think chicago could use some more condominiums. think about it chicago, condos.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

i am now reminded to look up the etymology of "condominium" its a weird word

― bb, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

elucidate, bb

― sexyDancer, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 19:02 (nineteen years ago)

whoops..

condominium
c.1714, from Mod.L., "joint sovereignty," apparently coined in Ger. c.1700 from com- "together" + dominum "right of ownership" (see domain). A word in politics and international law until sense of "privately owned apartment" arose in Amer.Eng. 1962 as a special use of the legal term. Abbreviated form condo first recorded 1964.

im not quite reading how the jump came about, frankly

― bb, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 19:09 (nineteen years ago)

this helps, a bit

domain
c.1425, in Scottish dialect, from M.Fr. domaine, from O.Fr. demaine "lord's estate," from L. dominium "property, dominion," from dominus "lord, master, owner," from domus "house" (see domestic). Form infl. in O.Fr. by M.L. domanium "domain, estate."

― bb, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 19:11 (nineteen years ago)

the way standard usage gets made cray-z by lawyers, then altered again by thelegal wierdness always blows my mind...well the power of jargon on common usage does...

colatoral is a classic case

― bb, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 19:13 (nineteen years ago)

oh btw carey those are the ones next to me. i remember a few weeks ago walking a few feet in front of a real estate dude taking a girl to see the place. after we crossed the bushwick/woodpoint intersection she was like 'oh so that's bushwick there?' referring to the avenue, but he thought she was referring to the neighborhood and he got sooo defensive 'no this is not bushwick! it's williamsburg!!! this is a great neighborhood!'

― tehresa, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 22:35 (nineteen years ago)

you should have screamed "rape zone"

― sanskrit, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:01 (nineteen years ago)

lol. i like where i live, but that would have been fun to freak them both out!

― tehresa, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:06 (nineteen years ago)

you should've thrown a slider at them.

― Yerac, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:09 (nineteen years ago)

all apts have to be either a co-op or condo right?

― Yerac, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:09 (nineteen years ago)

in the new places, you mean? i'd imagine.

― tehresa, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:10 (nineteen years ago)

they would have to be i guess since you have to pay some maintenance on the building.

― Yerac, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:12 (nineteen years ago)

i wonder how much the huge stripey one on the corner is going to be. all those houses on orient ave are like 1million.

― Yerac, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:13 (nineteen years ago)

are the maspeth condos the ones with the billboard that says "Finally... Williamsburg makes sense!" ?

― sleep, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:20 (nineteen years ago)

someone really needs to change that to "Finally...WhiteCastle makes sense!" i will give someone 10 dollars and a cloak of darkness to do it.

although i just got a very nice poster on heavyish stock saying the NYPD will pay $500 for information that convicts anyone guilty of graffiti vandalism.

― Yerac, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:33 (nineteen years ago)

A cop asked me about graffiti the other day but he didn't mention a reward!

― JW, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:43 (nineteen years ago)

Here's a hint: FLICKR!!!

― JW, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:45 (nineteen years ago)

you should've just given him a random apt number in one of those new condos.

― Yerac, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:47 (nineteen years ago)

i live in fake bushwick

― JW, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:52 (nineteen years ago)

maybe the cheeze gritz culprits can do it for us!

― tehresa, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:55 (nineteen years ago)
