Your post is so NY!!I agree that we are cons...Hey!! Your post is so NY!!<BR/><BR/>I agree that we are constantly overindulged and living well beyond our means... to share a story, I took the real estate licensing course for a sales person very recently given my passion for this industry (I work in technology… go figure!!).<BR/><BR/>The broker who was teaching the class told us a story of how he had been able to buy a 2 bedroom, 1,500 sq.ft. co-op in the upper west side for $950K, just “last week”…<BR/> <BR/>$600 bucks per sq.ft? in Manhattan? I thought? No way, that’s impossible!! <BR/><BR/>He asked us… is that a good deal or what? We all screamed YES!! He said well… it is a great deal… but never discuss it with folks who live outside New York because they will think you are crazy. <BR/><BR/>Considering $900k will bring you a very long way in other cities of the country he is right. But it aint NYC! <BR/><BR/>By the way I hope my parents will never read this blog… because crazy or not we want to own property at some point…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
