“What the heck is going on in Carroll Gardens?” we asked back in January. Our question was prompted by a rash of ridiculously priced townhouses in the area.

Yes, everyone pops from the womb along with the house they own – very painful deliveries. People graduate college and immediately buy. How stupid are you?
Warren bought in 1958. He was born in 1930…so do the math…he must have rented at some point.
Can he foreclose on the jeans? If so, yes.
