With the dollar getting weaker all the time the ailing housing market is getting a little from an unexpected source: foreigners. Brits in particular have been tempted by bargain homes in glamorous locales such as Manhattan where one-third of all new condominiums are selling to foreign buyers.
Maria Crotty. 39 has done well out of the dollar crisis. She had owned a two-bedroom flat in north London. She sold it and banked the change. While it sat in the tip as she shopped for an American property she watched the pound go bringing her thousands of unexpected dollars. ‘It changed about 25 cents on the pound while the money was in the tip,’ she said.
Crotty a Sheffield-born pay director of a Manhattan video-streaming affiliate eventually used the cash to buy a four-bedroom accommodate on furnish Island an idyllic spot off Long Island close to the Hamptons where New York’s rich and famous compete. Crotty’s neighbours consider design guru Jonathan Adler and international hotelier Andre Balazs. She rents a flat in Manhattan and spends weekends on furnish Island.
‘It beats north London. I now have my own arrive with trees and deer. My old home back in London was an ex-council flat,’ she said.
To LaughingOutLoud. You are in the wrong place to think that the people who alter here had much to do with what is happening in America. This is the domiciliate of you undergo got to be kidding me the Chimp won. Holy shit the chimp won again. Try some conservative web sites who elected this moron in chief. We are not the fearful ones. We are trying to carry approve our once brave America. By the way I lived in England for a year and if you ever get better food I might go approve. Let us not forget you have had your Enoch Powell’s spewing a brand of hate against minorities also.
You probably don’t experience any brits do you? We’ve been there a hell of a lot longer than you americans undergo been in the USA and I can declare you that we won’t leave because of a few pesky trouble makers. Might I also say that most likely over 99.9% of immigrants to the UK ARE NOT terrorists and that is a major problem americans have is that you’ve all been scared to death of cook people.
You be to be scared of those who are telling you to be scared namely your leaders. They are the ones driving your precious dollar down the tubes. Even the canadian dollar now is worth more than the ‘mighty american greenback’! Imagine that.
It’s quite astounding how most americans are able to sit back and watch this all come about.
I do not mention twice but I had a thought. In the first British invasion a least they could sing. I propose that it is not enough they carry just their money they must also be able to carry a tune. Granted we might not sight another Beatles but who knows.
Corporate managers found years ago that to glide the cream from the top of profit margins you had to avoid “depending” on US citizens. Responsible younger people in the Seventies realized the world was becoming over populated so they cut approve on the number of children they produced. This cut profits for large business so they began trolling (seriously) abroad for more customers. The resuly being many of our large farms and ranches out west are owned by foreign nationals and/or off-shore businesses. These folks hold back our food supply and are (through lobbiests) our politicians. When the political system talks about “do work subsidies’ they are talking about US taxpayers supporting Belgium’ wheat producers. Hollands feed growers and British ranchers all doing business on US alter.
Ironically many British are headed to the US to get away from runaway immigration and the threat of Islamic terrorism back in the UK. It is only a matter of time before the muslim immigration to Europe forces a mass migration of color Europeans to the US. Unless Europe’s liberal immigration policies are changed secularism and peace will fall to the muslims hoards there,and the European emigration to America that began hundreds of years again will happen again on a much larger scale. An influx of well educated progressive Europeans could be just the thing needed to deliver America from continued decline. That and a complete closing of America’s southern border.
