A lot of Bridgeport Single Family Homes being built this summer (Chicago: apartment, townhomes)

"Relevant to the discussion" has not been maro's strong suit in this thread. He's posting things that are factual and make sense on their own, but have nothing to do with what any of the rest of us are discussing, almost like he's participating in a different thread that got crossed with this one. Very confusing.

All I said was you should check it out for *chicago* (not just Bridgeport) because there's other interesting stuff with SFH going on in other areas of town too similar-ish to that of Bridgeport (i.e. Edgebrook)

Nevermind.....

Here is the message:

I was bringing it up as to say "There's other interesting things happening in a few parts of town similar to that of Bridgeport." Does that make more sense now? If you are confused about something, then why not read everything in the thread? It would be quite easy to find this message and know what I'm talking about. Yeah, it's not about Bridgeport only with this last one, but I made a general statement and it still has to do with new single family home/residence construction. It's not like I started talking about the price of fish. I brought up a map that has to do with new construction in Chicago via building permit data. I don't get what's so hard to understand how these two things are related. One has to do with Bridgeport, the other is Bridgeport + all other areas of Chicago.

I had the same reaction.

Maybe you get into the finer points of distinction between types of suburbs on the suburbs forum. On the city forum I generally see you arguing for all things suburban and against all things urban. That's how it comes across, anyway.

However, Lincoln Park, Roscoe Village, and Lakeview have a bunch in the half million or more range being built.

You are all over the place now...Here is what started it all - then you say you are not talking about purchase price, but the cost to a builder or whatever

Oh lord, it was two different streams. It had nothing to do with the Bridgeport stream. You are also not quoting everything. Here you go

This is getting idiotic. Those two messages are all you need to read. It's two different things. I have a map, it shows new construction building permits that have been OK'd by the city of Chicago. The message is a response of saying "okay you know about your neighborhood but if you're interested in new construction in Chicago, you should check it out anyway." it's not that ****ing hard to understand.

Nothing you are discussing is relevant to anything, it's almost as if you are having a conversation with yourself.

In short: You claimed there are new SFH in Bridgeport for $250K, I said that wasn't accurate, you then backtrack and say your not referring to sale price, but cost to a builder, then you are talking about building permits...I think you are confused.

Also, have you not noticed profanity will result in *******? What is the point?

I sent one response to nearnorth, and then everyone else starts getting confused like it was directed at them. Again, it's not hard to understand. It was a response to nearnorth and I said "well this is a cool thing anyway." Yes, I was wrong about the SALE prices (not construction prices) of homes in Bridgeport, but this has nothing to do with that. I sent a map that had to do with new construction in Chicago to say "this is cool too and there's other interesting things happening outside of Bridgeport too with new SFHs"

This is the last I'm going to say about this because this is getting out of hand and frivolous. If you want to get on someone for 3 pages about something so minor, then I suggest you find a better use of your time in life. You are accomplishing absolutely nothing by trying to lecture me on something as frivolous as posting a link to a map and then people being confused on why it was posted. Yes, I was wrong about the SALE prices in Bridgeport, but what I was trying to clear up had nothing to do with that.

It is the smugness with which you come off with that had me calling you out; you think you know what you are talking about, but it was clear to me you didn't. I have been investing in Real Estate in Bridgeport for 5 years, you are a dude on the internet who made a map and tried telling me I was wrong and needed to take a nap.

The silver lining in this is you have made my 6 hour flight from DC to San Fran go by fairly quickly

No problem prelude. I hope you can sleep better at night knowing that you owned someone on the internet. We were both on separate pages, but that's fine. As long as you can sleep better at night.
