Oh I know this topic and photo are not very holidayesque, and this isn’t the time to focus on such materialistic issues, but what other local NYC website has ever provided you a link to a 7-page study put out by the NY Fed entitled “To Buy or Not to Buy? The Changing Relationship between Manhattan Rents and Home Prices?” Who??? Because when you are about to make possibly the biggest decision in your life, it really doesn’t matter what time of year it is, just that you know exactly where to get the best, most relevant, and if need be most in-depth information. This is your source for what matters! Oh, that and the fact that the LIC news cycle is pretty much on reruns until year end, especially since we already told you last week the second most important piece of information right now concerning the people of LIC: the 7-train winter weekend disruptions. So with no further ado, here it is in all its glory: The NY Fed.

December 18, 2012 at 10:32 pmWhat irony, first comes a story that quotes an MTA spokesman saying the 7 train upgrades need to be done when the Mets are out of season, followed by a story that the team traded away this years Cy Young winner.
