"The bw with decaying buildings is spooks most people. While there are other things that kept them from buying in AP, that is a large part of it."
i dont think the boardwalk buildings spook anyone that much really. look at places in nyc, where there are high end condos accross from pure hell. for the most part, people who are buying condos dont exactly care whats around them. but sticking with what you said, about the boardwalk buildings being spooky. scaring people. imagine if 2 years ago, they started work on the boardwalk. and all those people going to the newly improved boardwalk had to drive though the rest of the oceanfront. all those boarded up, scary, run down motels. you cant do both, but if the boardwalk went first. youd be dealing with the same scinario. the boardwalk buidlings do not look bad. sure, some people dont like the paint jobs they got. but its only paint, aside from that, there the same shape, same buidlings that hve been there for 25 years. the pavillion behind club paradise, with all the new stores looks good. i recall saying this a few years ago when they were painted. they needed to do something, to show everyone things were changing. a different color showed that. i know a lot of people liked the bricks, but those bricks looked like they were from 20 years ago. the same way stinbachs looks on cookman. i hope they bleach or do something to make them look more up to date. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
