Once in a while, Ill promote a reader comment to the front page. Here's one that's eminently deserving of this:

LOCATION-LOCATION-LOCATION.
by Realtor on Deck
The Golden Rule (that and having EVERYTHING on paper) of real estate. Why would anyone want to live in a condo on lower 25th Street, at this time? Not a good family environment; your children can play on a sidewalk that is fenced in to keep the transients out. The place is so loaded with drunks that the City even "stole" the beer licenses away from a couple of store owners earlier this year or late last year (now they walk around the corner, buy their beer and bring it back to drink in the alleys and doorways.) Yet the Mayor is questioning why nobody is buying the condos @ Union Square. What a shock. What a mystery.
Did a little research, with the County Recorder, on the ownership of the condos and guess what....BAM....another shock. Seems I was correct in yesterday's post. 2 are under private ownership; 10 are owned by the people who Stuart Reid dug up at the last minute before the project went into foreclosure, Union Square Associates.So much for the president and his connections at the title company who are closing condos each week. Both Ozboy and EC thought right, in that the mayor would certainly be tooting his horm if all these alleged SALES had been Closing. Unfortunatley, for the taxpayers of Ogden, it ain't so.
So president, read your own words and commit them to memory....learn to walk before you talk, because talk is really all this blog gets from you. You can't fool us in that old sheep's skin.
