I’m pulling for DeBlasio in this one. You see if he wins and the city tumbles back into the chaos of the bad old days I figure my house in the NYC suburbs will gain a good $200,000 in value. A wave of Yuppie refugees fleeing the muggers, the vagrants, the junkies, and the squeegie men will make a big impact on demand for housing in the suburbs. The good old urban experience is only bearable when you have a Guiliani and give the devil his due, Bloomberg in the mayor’s office. With DeBlasio it will be Detroit on the Hudson. Those of you outside the area looking to make a buck in real estate, Bergen County NJ is a good bet if you get in now, before the election.
Can you imagine the horror of the hipsters the first time they get mugged on the L train?
