Commercial Real Estate Collapse – Midtown Manhattan


From the October 6, 2009 PBS “News Hour.” One sees this every day. Storefronts on Park Avenue South where overpriced restaurants sat two years ago are empty with “For Rent” signs, something one never saw in such neighborhoods. Traditionally in NYC, property changes hands in private deals, never through the posting of rent signs. With 1% down payments, real estate makes the subprime meltdown look outright responsible.

    I thought this last year when thousands of us got laid-off from my company. No jobs equals no revenue.

  9. Limeisback2012 says

    Either wall street dosent understand that without jobs people can’t buy things and is purly focused on the short term benefits of laying people off. Or they know that there crashing the system and they have some grand plan of mass economic destuction we are just not privy to. Come on people, you can’t keeping buying that the people who own and run america are idiots that don’t know what there doing. There causing unimployment and system crash on purpose. There evil and it’s obvious.

  17. MarcusCMarcellus says

    For some mysterious reason, the PBS News Hour (McNeil-Lehrer News Hour when I was growing up) has a very good economics reporter , one of the better ones on TV. Go figure.
