So the rich are not so rich. They are forced to prioritize their life. Golfing memberships are down, Country club memberships are down along the Long Island Sound it is where they go to play tennis and swim in the pool and the Long Island Sound if they are feeling brave with all the raw sewage. Oh what a cess pool all of the Madoffs have made.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2009 1:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Economy Dooms One of Long Island's Oldest Yacht Clubs]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/02/12/the-economy-dooms-one-of-long-islands-oldest-yacht-clubs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/02/12/the-economy-dooms-one-of-long-islands-oldest-yacht-clubs/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's the people that serve those at the yacht club that are losing out, just as those that are members.  Whether it's "family" money, "new" money or what have you, it's what keeps the rest of us paid to provide for our families.  The members lose out because of sentimentality & a place where they could go to "hobnob" with those that had or made like money.  Sailing isn't my thing but, I know it's not cheap to purchase one.  Christensen Yachts here in WA are known for their high quality sailing vessels & yachts.  SO, this does not only effect one aspect of people, it will effect many. Things economically need a change nationally.  As far as the environment one person mentioned, that also needs a change nationally.  America was/is built on dreams...if one dreams of owning a yacht & belonging to a yacht club, especially one long established, this is an institution that will most likely be missed.  I don't know the income of those that belong to the yacht club but, certainly one of them has 4-8 million or access to that amount.  Even with the recession the property & owning a long standing institution would seem like a good investment.  But, then that's probably why I'm not in the market for property of that value.  Just a thought.... ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Renee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2009 1:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Economy Dooms One of Long Island's Oldest Yacht Clubs]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/02/12/the-economy-dooms-one-of-long-islands-oldest-yacht-clubs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/02/12/the-economy-dooms-one-of-long-islands-oldest-yacht-clubs/</guid><description><![CDATA[oh, bo- hoo- hoo, Lovey!!!
