    At 8.whatever, beachfront, I think we should save pictures because it looks like a teardown to me.

    Man I wish I had a link to that article from the summer about the apartment with the portrait of the doggy in the tuxedo. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

    The Madoff's residences are awesome because there is none of that kitschy shit.

    And lots of secret passages to hide the money!!!

    The thing is that the Madoff beach house is AWESOME -- and suprisingly tasteful in its particulars.

    @jackbarber: It'd awesome in the sense that it's right on the beach and it's not in the Hamptons, but you lost me on "surprisingly tasteful." It looks like the 90s threw up in there. The place needs a gut reno, but then again, someone with that kind of cash to plunk down probably has a decent renovation budget.

    @misslinda: Possible that I just came of age in the 90s. (throwing up as needed)

    I just remember seeing the pix in the paper and thinking wow that's surprisingly not so ugly.

    As opposed to the above Louis Xiv looking crap.

    does this mean that Madoff's infamy actually adds to the value of this stuff? No -- it means the recession's over. Haven't you heard?

    Winky Dink needs to start cranking out his version of John Wayne Gacy prison clown art to cash in on his infamy: Bulls on black velvet, crushed investors hurling themselves from foreclosed penthouses, Ruth being turned down for a secured Visa card.

    I'm flummoxed. (And cowed.)

    Bad taste is usually associated with excess. Madoff managed to make restrained understatement look horrible. With all the money he stole, couldn't he and Ruthie afford to hire a Gay?

    And - the front of that spooky dump looks exactly like Bette Davis' house in "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte".

    Wellllll... Not to be devils advocate or anything, but if you do have the cash or access to credit (which is admittedly a small percentage of the population right now), buying real estate is probably the best thing you can do. The values are very low, and obviously won't stay that way forever. Nobody ever got poor buying land (that they can actually afford).


    I'm looking at a condo in Brooklyn that two years ago would have been untouchable, and two years from now will probably be right back up there.

    @Almostbanned: agggggghhhh you are the third amateur real estate novelist on this thread, that condo is not going to be "right back up there" in two fucking years dude. if you need to buy a place to live buy it but don't delude yourself into thinking the value isn't going to continue to drop ESPECIALLY IN BROOKLYN which has been coasting on some kind of insane "everyone's on e hoooray" overpricing frenzy for quite some time now.

    My parents are pretty much the only people I know who have paid off their house and have good credit.


    But their most successful child is a grad student with student loans.


    So they have other expenses for the next, oh, seven-to-ten years.


    Alas, no summer home for them.

    these two sentences SHOULDN'T have anything to do with one another, if this "most successful child" is you man up dude.
