Frozenbeernuts 1,653 Posted June 24, 2018 Wtf. I am staying not far from Baltimore. This is not a place to retire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted June 24, 2018 Ok I checked the link, its purely based on cost to retire. So basically reverse the list. Who wants to retire in places where property values have been driven through the floor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who wants to retire in places where property values have been driven through the floor? Well fock, if it's only that criteria, I think I'm going to retire in Harlem.

MDC 5,990 Posted June 25, 2018 Well fock, if it's only that criteria, I think I'm going to retire in Harlem. Everyone actually from New York knows that Harlem is full of million dollar condos today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,990 Posted June 25, 2018 Really...huh, my bad. Harlem has always been the term used for sh1tholes. I should have said Detroit. Back in the 80s maybe.

Hardcore troubadour 12,988 Posted June 25, 2018 I learned something new today. Thanks. Not really. Harlem is a pretty big area. Parts of it have been gentrified and seen an increase in RE values, some in the millions. But most of it is still poor and a shithole. There are far too many housing projects throughout for most of it ever to really become inhabitable for civilized people. That's why they all went to Brooklyn.

MDC 5,990 Posted June 25, 2018 I learned something new today. Thanks. NP. The median listing price for home in Harlem is almost $900k. Nobody who is actually from NY thinks of Harlem as some scary place anymore. I would bet the crime rates are higher in Brooklyn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone24 1,836 Posted June 25, 2018 I don't know about anybody else but I'm putting the odds that I retire anywhere that's cold at pretty much zero. I don't give a crap what your cost of living is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would bet the crime rates are higher in Brooklyn. And how much is the rent in the projects? "Home prices". Lol. What a stooge. The whole place is apartment buildings. That makes two cities you know nothing about. Wait, I forgot Dallas. 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would bet the crime rates are higher in Brooklyn. So you want to compare the .crime rates of a part of northern manhattan to the borough of Brooklyn? Genius. Parts of Brooklyn had/have the highest crime rates in the city. Parts have been and are among the lowest. It's really big. But thanks for your insight.
