N.B.: capitalism, a system in which first hipsters express envy at developers, as if their profits are unearned, and anyone can do it! Then in downtourns they express mocking joy, taking delight in the arrogance of the rich and those catering to them.
In the boom years, the payoff is feeling that although a developer is rich, they're not like us, because they're greedy assholes. And in the down years the payoff is they are like us ! Ha, ha they got their comeuppance, they're not better than us.
In all year's what's important is to not invest or risk your money yourself, because then you can't sit in the stadium chairs mocking those in the arena.
It's a lot better here than it is there.
For a tiny studio, that's still pricey. I've seen more modest studios selling for half that amount in this economy. And few people can live in such a tiny apartment for long. Any buyer should count on not living there for more than a few years. Unless the real estate market is booming, a short-term condo purchase is a really bad investment.
#6 ditto on 1521 2nd Avenue. I might have a tainted opinion of this building because it blocks the view from my office.
