It's an old Roman real estate slogan which roughly translated into the
King's English means:

"If 'location, location, location'
are the 3 most important qualities;
this place here really sucks terribly -
or 'Scary, but it's got potential'!"

[Usually followed by a large red/white/blue airborne hot air balloon
with happy people and much music and confetti]
