NY City "apartments"

I wouldn't live in any of these places for free, and they're charging outrageous amounts for these tiny places! My apartment has three bedrooms, two full baths, and is 1350 square feet. Some of these places aren't much bigger than my walk-in closet. My rent: $746 per month. Why hasn't everyone left New York yet?

Nowhere to hide from intruders, as well it's a wonder
they don't have an epidemic of claustrophobia crippling
the city of outlawed large soda pops.
The city is run by a buncha moe's.

Mass hysteria--"greatest city in the world," "we can buy anything at 4 in the morning," "we're so lucky to live here," blah blah blah.
Low Information Voters, in other words.

These people live in a completely different world than I do.

Boston woman pays $560,000 for 2 parking spots.

Parking is such a precious commodity in Boston that one woman was willing to pay $560,000 for two off-street spaces near her home.

Lisa Blumenthal won the spots in the city's Back Bay neighborhood during an on-site auction Thursday held in a steady rain by the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS had seized the spots from a man who owed back taxes.

Blumenthal, who lives in a multimillion-dollar home near the parking spaces, tells The Boston Globe she didn't expect the bidding to go quite so high for the spots she says will come in handy for guests and workers.

The record for a single spot in Boston is $300,000.

The median price of a single-family home in Massachusetts is $313,000.

Yeah, me too, and not one I want any part of.

For $560,000 I could buy myself a nice house, and then not work for the next ten years.
