Replying to: lemko (May 13, 2009 7:03 am) I don't consider living in a high rise as thriving. Anything less than an acre around me is an abomination. Living that close to other people is just not healthy, physically or mentally. I think the Philadelphia plagues are a prime example.   All of Detroit will look similar in the next decade. It proves my idea that spreading out is preferable to cramming together with people you don't even know. There should only be a half dozen homes in the space. Good riddance to the cities. I avoid them at all cost.   That will be the next waste of our tax dollars. Building the future slums of America.

Or maybe someone like Trump will swoop in and redevelop the area for cheap $$$.

Those particle board, styrofoam, and Tyvek McMansions are going to quicky fall apart and into disrepair only to be occupied by the current and future underclass! Heck, it'll probably be more cost-effective to demolish them than try to repair them. You've heard of cars that fall apart by the time you make the last payment? These crumby houses made of crumby materials and inept illegal alien labor won't last until the last mortgage payment! Half a million $ doesn't buy what it used to! My circa 1955 Airlite will be standing long after the last 2006 McMansion has collapsed in on itself!   North Philly - Coming to a suburban development near you soon!

Replying to: gagrice (May 13, 2009 7:49 am) As a balance, on the other hand that is also true of rural area's. This is slightly oxymoronic in CA's agricultural areas as it has been and in some instances still seen as the bread basket of the world.   During the heyday of the (CA) real estate (bubble), CA Central Valley (northern ca), CA was hotter than hot. I personally could not understand it before I went to look. After I went to look I was even more convinced after I had taken a series of hard looks. At the time agricultural unemployment was approaching 25% and literally nobody else was looking to put anything in the area.   In addition some "rural" municipalities are following misguided policies of "preserving" pastorial lands (aka looks like bucolic stereotypical "pastorial" lands, but economicall unviable for almost anything that you would want to apply an economic yardstick to.   Again the same result, they wonder why the areas are in "arrested economic decay".

Anything less than an acre around me is an abomination.   What about the various Trump Towers and their luxuries? Or, multi-million dollar condos in high rises along Lake Shore Drive in Chicago? The high-rises in Miarmi? Lots of people, mostly big shots, like that. They don't have to worry about cutting grass nor buying parrot beak fiskars.

Replying to: xrunner2 (May 13, 2009 1:13 pm) Living in a high rise condo makes you a slave to the other home owners. Condo fees go up with no limitations. Management companies abscond with the homeowner fees. NO THANK YOU! Been there done that. If I need a beach fix I can rent a condo for a month and get it out of my system.   Speaking of Trump did he get his bailout?

Replying to: gagrice (May 13, 2009 1:41 pm) A lot of those high rise condos you don't even realize you have neighbors. Some people like the city life, others like more open air. To each their own.   Speaking of Trump did he get his bailout?   I hope he uses the money to buy a good rug to cover that mop he has on his head.
