What makes you (Ryan) think that tenants are so stupid that they will pay inflated rents. There are tons of available apartments all over Bushwick and even a “new transplant” could check out a few place on Craig’s List to see if he/she was getting ripped-off. If the 300SF place is over priced, it will sit empty until the landlord reduces the rent. Rents are down all over the neighborhood due to over supply and a fairly transparent marketplace. Landlords don’t set rents the market (i.e. tenants) do.

i fail to see how this was ever jeremy’s fault. if you want a beef with somebody, have it with the guy who rents the place and doesn’t mind paying 1000 bucks for 300 square feet. better yet, buy a place and charge whatever you want for rent. cuz all landlords just *make up* however much rent they want to charge, there’s never a basis in reality for rent prices, ever. it’s all whimsy right?

and you don’t think laundry in the building is a plus? glutton for punishment!

Rents should be driven down, people should not have to pay a thousand dollars a month for a 300 square foot studio/”jr” one bedroom off the fucking CHAUNCEY stop on the J. Get real.

From the ad it sounds like a condo, something that doesn’t belong anywhere near Bushwick anyway. But I’m not sure. I live a stop away from Chauncey so I’ll take a ride over there soon and see what the building is like. Regardless of what it is anyone charging that kind of insane rent in that area is a greedy greedy person.

Anyone who rents that place is a retard, a sucker, or a new transplant. But if you want to pay $1000 a month to live in a 300 square foot shoebox on Chauncey cause your appliances are oh so new and there’s a laundry room in the building (there’s a fucking laundromat right on that block, RIGHT on broadway) then by all means. Go ahead!

Ryan is one of those “tenant rights” fanatics. If only the man were open minded and were to read: http://www.observer.com/2009/real-estate/landlord-myths

Bob Knakal, a guy who is so likeable he’s probably a fucking Led Zeppelin fan, makes the case for LANDLORDS suffering. So Ryan, go suck a fart out of our collective asses, you wanker.

As a landlord, I can say it is people like you, Ryan, driving down rents that are making it so difficult for me to pay my mortgage. Aren’t you worried about the foreclosure problem in America? As a fellow Bushwickian,and small businessman, can I not get a little love from guys like you?

No, you do not, and you have no universal definition of “inflated.”

I know where inflated prices come from; self righteous idiots like you who are willing to pay them and recommend that others pay them.

Haha, ok. You have no idea where prices come from.

Ahhh Jeremy is at it again.

Suggesting a thousand dollars for a 300 square foot one bedroom near chauncey is a good deal?

It’s people like you who suggest that that should somehow be acceptable that are the reason rents are spiraling out of control in not only Bushwick, but all across the city.

You are so out of touch I’m surprised you didn’t mention how you’re close the L train at broadway junction. 5 minute walk!

P.S. Your last listing isn’t even on broadway.
