Reply to comment by _neutral_person in Why Rival Sides In The Housing Crisis Plaguing NYC Are Considering Peace by psychothumbs

Where do you propose to expand the transit?

They should expand access to Rosedale, masbeth, flatlands, marine park, flushings, Corona and areas in between with lines that connect interborough areas like the G train.

One of the biggest determinants for rent is time from apartment to job. If you reduce travel times, you will reduce rent demand.

Edit: We can also stop treating SI like NJ and add a tunnel for cars AND trains.

My house's value is in the fact that it's remote and low density, with ample street parking. A train would harm that. So no.

Yeah. I don't care about your house's value. We need housing. You can always sell now if you want.

Nah. It takes years to get anything done. I made a cool hundred grand flipping my first house and my current one has gone up around $200,000 in 10 years. I get a sweet ROI. Why sell? It's safe, quiet, with parking, good schools and nice neighbors. I'll sell when I retire and leave the city.

BTW...Who's "we"? You need housing. Not me. I have a nice place with a garden and yard.

I don't need housing, but I don't care about ROI and would gladly fuck up yours. I don't care. The best part is most of the NYC voters don't care either. So sell now. Heard flordia RE is hot!

Why when I'm making a cool ROI? I like it here. My sheer existence (never mind presence) irks the likes of you. I was born and raised, son. I'm not leaving!!!

My mom's house in Brooklyn (which she and my dad bought for $25,000 in '49) snookered 7 figures, too, so my share of the inheritance will fund a renovation on the kitchen, a new sidewalk, and some landscaping on the garden. My fig and crapapple trees provide nice (but now too much) shade, so I have to move the vegetable plot (kale, collards, tomatoes, potatoes) into standing planters. It'll be sweet. And guess what? You're not invited!
