As I said, if I were as crass as you I'd tell you how many of those my
apt.
would buy.


Nothing crass about it, Dave. As I said, you don't get a good quality
of living in Manhattan unless you're living in a huge apartment and
pulling down 200-300K per year at least. Many of my friends make that
and still moved out. They wanted room and a clean place to live. They
couldn't stand where you live at all once they became adults with
families. I do have a friend with twins in Manhattan. She lives on
14th street and bought two floors to be her "house" when she can't be
at her real home in Sleepy Hollow. You just don't get it, Dave. You
have no money, so you're trapped in a hovel that's close to your job.
Most of graduated well beyond that. I don't have to work more than a
few hours a day and NO commute. Suzanne drives 20 minutes to one of
the best hospitals in the US (her new job) and is just working 2 days
per week. She's not even 40. We've both owned houses before.
What happened to you? Oh, right....we both know!

Enjoy your "valuable" apartment! Hey, my father owns an apartment in
what's left of the Village. He rents it out and would never want to
stay there...nor would I. I guess I'll inherit it someday...and sell
it in a hot second. Then again, he may sell it sooner due to NYC
flooding likely to occur soon from global warming. I hope you're above
the 20-30 FT sea level mark that every scientist in the world is
agreeing on!
