Nope, my grandfather decided to sell it to his sister, who was already living there all her life. Then she died and her new husband got the building and sold to Chinese |

I often wondered where the Chinese got all that $$$ to buy up all that real estate along Northern Blvd? I haven't been in those parts in awhile. Someday I have to go by 193d St and Northern Blvd to see if my brother still has that street named after him.Has the Chinese bought up properties beyond Bell Blvd? |

In my neighborhood it was first the Chinese from the Hong Kong area, who spoke Cantonese and were "middle/working class around 1980. Each year, there was a slow but steady stream growing and houses were still in the 50-80K range (if you could believe that) Then, around 1984ish Britain said they were giving Hong Kong back to China. This opened up the floodgates of Chinamen who made houses go up, up, up! The whites that owned sold for a premium (aunt and uncle sold in late 85 for 250K , unheard of, and bought a McMansion in western NJ with the money. The whites who rented or got married and wanted to buy in the neighborhood got priced out. Chinese Mafia bankrolled lots of them. |

Then, around 1984ish Britain said they were giving Hong Kong back to ChinaThat was a big load of hooey. Red China was not the original owner of Hong Kong. And Red China has repeatedly broken whatever agreements they made, so HK should revert to Britain; but there's a king in place now that's way too weak to make such a stand. |

What the fuck does the KING have to do with anything? Do you not understand how Constitutional monarchy works?Hong Kong was part of China before the First Opium War. The British could have given Hong Kong to Taiwan, but then the PRC would have invaded. |

Do you not understand how Constitutional monarchy works?I think we know the answer to that question. Even King George III no longer had the kind of power that Olog attributes to the British monarch, despite anything the Declaration of Independence says to the contrary. Maybe, just maybe, William and Mary did. |

Posted by Spider-Pig on Mon Nov 10 13:10:58 2025, in response to Re: List of NYC middle class neighborhoods, posted by AlM on Mon Nov 10 13:01:42 2025. The Declaration of Independence makes sense if you consider the Prime Minister and his cabinet to be "His Majesty's Government". Anything the government does is done in the name of the King, even if not actually done by the King.They believed that the King was still the sovereign, at least until they actually declared independence, but his power was legitimately through the provincial assemblies (where they were represented) and not through Westminster (where they weren't). Basically, they wanted to be like Canada is now and having not gotten this from the King they decided to go their own way. |

I often wondered where the Chinese got all that $$$ to buy up all that real estate along Northern Blvd?Look at anything in your house that says "Made In China". That's how. Never mind the left-wing politicians that make it easier for them to make those purchases. |

That or your grandfather should have given her a life estate.But yeah, they probably didn't know what that was. I didn't know what that was until law school and don't think I've ever met anyone not a lawyer who knows what a life estate is. |

I didn't know it was called a "life estate" though. Not surprisingly, there's a reason specific to my family for why I knew about this at that young an age. |
