NYC Residents Pay $2-3,000 A Month For “Micro-Apartments” As Luxury Car Sales Outpace Regular Car Sales
From Mike Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg
NYC Residents Will Pay $2-3k a Month for “Micro-Apartments” as Luxury Car Sales Outpace Regular Car Sales

In the past five years, global registrations of the seven largest ultra-premium car brands–a group that also includes Aston Martin and Lamborghini–have surged by 154 percent, far outpacing the 36 percent gain in overall car sales worldwide.
Rolls-Royce registrations have risen almost five-fold. Almost 10,000 new Bentleys cruised onto the streets last year, a 122 percent increase over 2009, while Lamborghini rode a 50 percent increase to pass the 2,000 vehicle mark.
– From the Bloomberg article: Hyper-Luxury Cars Are Now Selling Faster Than Normal Ones
It’s an oligarch’s world, you’re just living in it.
One of the main reasons that hyper-luxury cars are outselling regular cars, is because all of the wealth gains from the oligarch recovery are going to, well, oligarchs. This has been a regular theme here at Liberty Blitzkrieg, and is further evidence that global policies implemented since the oligarch created financial melt-down, have been used to cover up its criminality, and further advance the status quo’s consolidation of wealth and power. A continuation of this trend presents the greatest threat to liberty, free markets and an evolution of human consciousness on the planet today.
First, let’s take a look at how the average standard of living in my hometown of NYC is being impacted by the oligarch recovery. From the New York Post:
To combat the city’s housing shortage while serving its high number of single adults who may share apartments with multiple roommates in this ridiculously expensive town, a new housing complex is set to come to the rescue. Consisting of 55 prefabricated, modular studio apartments, My Micro NY is now being assembled in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, with the units to be stacked atop one another, forming a 10-story building on East 27th Street in Manhattan.
Each pad, designed for single humans and even pairs, measures just 260 to 360 square feet — or about the size of a Hollywood starlet’s walk-in closet. The developer was granted a waiver from the city’s zoning and density laws to create living spaces smaller than the already tiny minimum of 400 square feet, set in 1987.
It gets worse.
The apartments are to rent for $2,000 to $3,000 a month! (Less if you score an “affordable” space.)
New York City head shrinker Dr. Alan Hilfer, who recently retired as the chief psychologist at Brooklyn’s Maimonides Medical Center, told me the micro-apartment idea has been tried in Japan.
Of course, that nation had the world’s seventh-highest suicide rate in 2013, behind Greenland, Lithuania, South Korea, Guyana, Kazakhstan and Slovenia. (The United States’ suicide rate was pegged as 30th in the world in 2012.)
Don’t forget that as we learned in the post, The Face of the Oligarch Recovery – Luxury Skyscrapers Stay Empty as NYC Homeless Population Hits Record High, 30% of NYC’s most luxurious apartments sit empty so as to serve as money laundering proxy bank accounts for foreign oligarchs.
That’s what the peasant victims of oligarchy have to contend with. What about that tiny group of people which benefits disproportionately from the oligarch money spigot. We learn from Bloomberg that:
Things have grown ever more extraordinary for the one percent on four wheels. The fancy cars seem to be multiplying and taking unexpected shapes. Bentley moved to build a sport utility vehicle in 2013, a decision matched by Rolls last week. Ferrari brought out a 963-horsepower supercar with an electric motor, which has since been joined by an $840,000 Porsche with two electric motors. Orders and eager deposits have been pouring in.
Thanks to a bullish economy and a burgeoning crop of multi-millionaires all over the world, the handful of carmakers catering to the very richest have finally started to figure out that they have been drastically underestimating demand for six- and seven-figure vehicles. That realization has fueled a new generation of interesting machines whose eye-popping price tags have widened the ultra-premium market. At the moment, unlike in decades past, the fastest-selling products in the auto business are also the ones that cost the most.
Gotta love how the author conflates “bullish economy” with a growing number of extremely rich people.
In the past five years, global registrations of the seven largest ultra-premium car brands–a group that also includes Aston Martin and Lamborghini–have surged by 154 percent, far outpacing the 36 percent gain in overall car sales worldwide. Much of the growth has come from Maserati and Porsche, two companies that sell many of their vehicles for less than $100,000. Even excluding those brands, however, the swanky car segment has swelled by 62 percent since 2009.
Rolls-Royce registrations have risen almost five-fold. Almost 10,000 new Bentleys cruised onto the streets last year, a 122 percent increase over 2009, while Lamborghini rode a 50 percent increase to pass the 2,000 vehicle mark.
The boom in business, for the most part, comes from a simple supply-demand relationship: Growing ranks of wealthy consumers want more opulent toys. At the end of last year, about 211,000 people had a net worth of at least $30 million—a 13 percent increase from 2011, according to UBS and the research firm Wealth-X.
Meanwhile, average real wages have barely budged. Further proof that this isn’t a recession, it’s a robbery.
The supercars that don’t aim for the top end of the speedometer, meanwhile, have focused on offering custom options. Four out of five Rolls-Royces sold last year went through what the car maker calls its “bespoke process.” The coaches can be had with hand-engraved picnic sets, embroidered headrests, lambs-wool floor mats, and light-up hood ornaments. Rolls-Royce craftsmen will even stitch hundreds of diamonds into the ceiling lining to resemble a night sky—not just any night, but the constellation pattern evident on a specific date.
IHS expects the super-premium car market to expand by an additional 21 percent in the next two years, and blue-blood carmakers may blow past that target if their plans pan out.
In my opinion, money should primarily be seen as a tool. A tool that can be used for an almost infinite amount of projects and endeavors. While I completely defend a super rich person’s freedom to spend his or her fortune as her or she pleases, the fact so many are primarily employing this tool as a means to stroke one’s ego and narcissism is not only unfortunate, but serves as a perfect reflection of the mindset and consciousness of the global oligarchy and its religion of consumerism.

Where does one sign up for oligarchacy? I'm closer to the cat on the steps and need to upgrade.
You're in luck, there's a recruitment station just blocks from there, right in the middle of Times Square.
The old man probably has twice as much meat on his legs than any of the 3 twats. His downfall are drugs which are peddled by the oligarchy to keep the population subdued and in a neverending coma. Without drugs, we would have had that revolution long ago. What this army of potential street fighters needs are 3 meals a day, a place to rest, no access to drugs whatsoever and strong leadership.
FYI, luxury cars make for good target practice
What is a home worth? What would you pay to not be executed on the street? (not that these corporate assassins give a fck anymore. Anywhere, anytime..you/I could be next)
WTF?
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/03/01/1367900/-Homeless-Man-Pinned-Do...
World be still...
i see 3 dead people.....and a homeless man-they have not a clue as to what is coming down-as they mesmerize over Kim Kardashian
You mean without EBT, welfare, unemployment and disability checks, we would have had this revlution long ago.
back in the good old days of west 33rd street those chicks would have been rape-bait dressed like that
now they can laugh, gulp their prozac and saunter back too their $4500/month one bedrooms empty and broken souls
I see 3 average looking skanks who have 5-10 years max of being pumped/dumped by the rich people they so admire and aspire to be. After that they will be has-been hags -- more invisible than the homeless dude they now step over.
There's gonna be some great buys on all these luxury cars when they get repossessed!
And it reminds me of a sweet old song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qev-i9-VKlY
I had this in mind, more or less.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av4x6nZlefc
you don't want the risk dude.. these people are major dumbasses, they'll likely be sacrificed at the alter by the mob in about a heartbeat... lucifer will just laugh :-)
Everybody is out renting $4000 apartments and buying luxury cars. More proof that the economy is booming. All hail Obama and Yellen.
That guy went short the S&P in 2010.
. . . and he's got a bunch of gold buried - he's waiting.
You have to take the basic psychological empathy test first. If you are the type of person who winces when you see a dog hit by a car, then i suggest that you don't even try. If you cried Dorothy got back to Kansas, then you are clearly hopeless as well. If you and your girlfriend watched ISIS beheadings five times over on the couch while drinlking champagne, then I think you will pass with flying colors. As a matter of fact, that is probably all you need. College education is a disadvantage. It shows some conscientiousness and that you do foolish things like set goals and delay gratification today in oprder to have moar tomorrow.
You need to buy your way in, e-mini S&Ps go for about 5,000$ US each. Buy as many as you can afford, ideally on a dip. As they appreciate take the newfound gains and buy more. We have probably already seen all the real selling for this year so instead of waiting for them to hit 2200 next month and backing off a few percent you may be best served just buying here at the all time highs.
There are only a few things guaranteed in this life, death, taxes and new highs in the US equity markets.
Buy now or be priced out of the market forever
Buy now or be priced out of the market forever
just paid off my 2007 Mazda. Also own a Toyota MR2. I'll never pay another cent to these Criminal BANKSTERS ever again.
yeah they have you over a barrel when owning a car; Ive been thinking of a 2014, now that the 2015s are in, but owning a car is a license to steal to the state, and we live in a Republican one -so they appear to go along with the scam/robbery
Always pay cash for everything, including a house.
robotic factories' owners trade with each other goods produced by their robots
the rest of society is going to die off
You have to admit this conveyor belt of money from the lower and middle classes to the very top is about the most unstoppable juggernaut that's ever been devised in modern times. With plausible deniability that it even exists, no less. In terms of structural elegance, it's a 10. In terms of evil it's also somewhere around a 10.
Why does that vivid analogy bring the Pacific conveyor of the Fuku Juggernaut to mind, (though cranked up past 11). Wish it was O/T, but it's now the air we breathe, food we eat, water we drink, whilst we go about ALL our other business....Cant stop it, can't contain it, can't fix it. GE, Made in the USA, and now coming home. Cradle to Grave profit, from the purveyors of death. From reactors to cancer scanners...cute.
Reality check here: http://enenews.com/
cradle to grave guaranteed profits, not from honest work, or service, but from the Government making sure you and your Industry alone get your cash? Id call that Corparate Socailism
Thats why I don't quit smoking. I am already getting chemo and radiation treatments daily. Win-win.
We just have to wait until they start feeding off eachother, because the way the world's been headed, the lower and middle classes wont have any money, hence no profits, hence collapse of economy.
As I keep saying---the ultimate goal is to design robots that make the lower and middle classes completely unnecessary, because the robots can do anything a prole can and do it much better. A well-programmed and well-maintained robot will happily work 24/7, will never go on strike, will never screw up your drink order, and will never fuck your trophy wife behind your back (unless that's what you're into). They'll make far better New Socialist Men than humans ever were likely to.
Then, being relieved of the necessity of tolerating the lower orders of humanity at all, they will order their new robot underlings to exterminate any proles who haven't gotten the message to stop reproducing.
Profits? Who will still care about those? Those are how you keep score in the game that's the human economy. By then the game will be over and our masters will have won, conquerors of the planet and everything on it, leaving them only with the necessity of finding a new game to play to amuse themselves.
Conquest of the galaxy might do it. They could use new planets as a backup when the earth finally dies.
they're going to use us all until we're used up
'unstoppable juggernaut' ?
Imagine a miracle where everyone goes to sleep tonight and when they wake up in the morning, every one of them understands that they've been lied to.
The current slave system wouldn't last the day.
Extremely difficult to transform ? Yes.
Impossible ? No.
Who the hell would pay 3k-4k a month to live in a shit hole within a shit hole?
this is a sideshow...NYC commercial real estate is where the next bust will occur, and it's not far off. Transiting Pluto has just entered their natal 4th House (R/E), and it's in their natal Sun's derived 2nd.
Your house is a place to keep your stuff, while you go out and get...more stuff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLoge6QzcGY
That little shit hole is around $100 a day. A hotel room of comparable quality would cost $300 a day.
"It's not a studio - it's a micro-loft!"
And the men who rent those places have only "micro-lift" in their junk.
Dow 20,000...
DEATH TO THE MONEYCHANGERS.
NYC reminds me of several third world hellholes that I've travelled to over the years, same type of people with the same type of ideology....
a glorious achievement of our enlightened leadership - a hell hole (with some good restaraunts)
The view of NYC as you move onto Long island is a pretty depressing site, the urban sprawl of old organge brick structures.
My thoughts are always, who the fuck would live here? It exudes implosionary forces..old, decreipid, overcrowded.
The question is who would pay that much money for the privilege of living in a hovel. At least the shacks I saw in the third world were cheap.
Went back and followed Perimetr's link from a previous article. Ah, one can only wish.
My biggest splurge was buying a YUGO.
I have a four door version...it's called the WEGO.
You got one of these?
just messin with ya...crappy attempt at a joke. Im here on Sunday too , try the veal.
I had one of those "apartments". It was a box in "East Williamsburg" AKA Bushwick. 1700 a month FIVE years ago. You couldn't go out after dark. Neighbor was murdered. NYC is great if your a finacializing fuckface making six to seven figures. Otherwise you get what we got. I now have a half acre, veggie garden, huge place on a safe beautiful street for half that in OH. We are much happier.
As a former NYCer, just having closets and a kitchen counter in my home feels luxurious.
I have a dog run, garden, huge front yard with flowers. You can walk to stores and downtown businesses that have festivals and bars. Our home has an office, babycave, living room, kitchen, eating space and three bedrooms with full basement for my band with prepper storage. Kids ride their bikes unmolested and the cops are local and nice as long as you are compliant. Two speeding citations thrown out cuz I'm their neighbor. It's amazingly better. Everything is cheaper. I quote folks average NYC price for GMO shit beer at 10 bucks a draw and they laugh! Here, local brew is four bucks and well crafted, but I don't drink anymore. NYC is fun to visit for three days, but that's it.
that ginger on the left is HAWT!
Yes
No
Does the Carpet Match the Drapes?
I am betting no carpet at all..all sandlewood or beechwood flooring
Do you mean Brazillian beechwood?
why yes...yes i do.
You mean, yes you do have bad taste in females. Outside of her bright clothes and ridiicuous hair tha tmakes her look like a clown, she's probably a bony toothpick with no features of note.
...
the real key is: Landing strip, or night on Bald Mountain.....
go ahead and keep downvoting u twats...but you all know none of you would kick the fake ginger out of bed. :)
Ginger had nothing over Mary Ann.
I must respectfully disagree..Id kicker out of my bed before i ate breakfast.
RIPS
I wouldn't even get near her. I'm sure her mouth breathing and annoying laugh would be too much for me to handle.
Read Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century. He predicted all of this and how it is going to get worse (for the majority of working people, not oligarchs/kleptocrats and the like). Plus nothing will not change unless we get major inflation, global wealth taxation or French Revolution style uprisings.
Piketty is a Marxist idiot. He wouldn't understand economics if you hit him in the face with a bag of dimes.
I'm sorry, but why live in NYC unless you have absolutely no choice. Those are not human living conditions no matter how many fun restaurants there are to choose from.
you have to be mentally off-if you choose to live there....still it is a sign of something when you find you can tame NYC.....all those "fun" restraunts
Just tell me where to find the brunette and the redhead and all 3 of us can split the rent
I'm sure they are traveling from Europe.
American girls will be fatter, in shorts and sneakers.
That's a still from a film floating around the internet, they actually give that old guy a blow job in it. I would give you a link but i don't want that shit in my search history...try searching for 'old tramp get a blowjob'.
i imagine a cardboard box from an upright washer in an alley rents for $20 per night.
Used to be telephone boxes in London back in the eightys.

You either commute for a couple hours a day or live in a tiny apartment or even share it with roommates. That's true for most big cities in the USA.
Somehow, there are many Mexicans living in the center of LA. How can they afford to live there?
massive benefits, subsidized housing, and ten people to a room. Socialism works, dude.
go get your GED before posting here
This is nothing but crude Crapitalism-charge as much as you can for the least you can give
I doubt you could qualify for a GED.
Those people have chosen to live there. They are forced into that city as with a Socialist Living Assignment system.
The real point is that they are too stupid to choose better options for themselves than NYC. It is libtard heaven.
South Central L.A is a hovel, been there and got tha fuck out years ago.
You should know exactly how it works since you're paying for it.
It's okay because hyper luxury cars are more fuel efficient. Wait. they're not?
Teslas are. Plus, they make great bonfires.
Look, all they need is room for a TV. What else does one need?
You still watch tv?
what is 'tv' ???
I gave my last t.v. to a dumpster diver. The only time I watch is when I get together with others (who begrudgingly still own a t.v.) to watch sports. Namely hockey and college ball. And IF I'm lucky- Mayweather getting his @$$ kicked in less than 10 minutes.
I think you need a shitter room and a small stall for a shower. Not that the city is clean enough to notice anyone else's body odor- which I hear NY traders have a ton of.
There are many empty NYC luxury apartments that are empty for 6 to 9 months.
Squat your asses in luxury.
that guy looks like me! and them girls remind me of my daughters and that bitch ex of mine.
For 'accurancy', the 'Swanky Bidness' chart should read 'growth of sales...' or sumsuch, not 'sales'
Well, the last time I checked NYC residents were liberal progressive scum bags therefore I couldn't give a damn about them even if I wanted to. There is no such thing as a liberal progressive American therefore NYC residents aren't American. In fact, I don't even consider them to be human. I'd rather hang out with maggots and cockroaches.

good that you want to stick with your own kind
These overgrown 40 something children BRAG about finidng a spot with RENT CONTROL! They wear holey torn sweaters to job interviews, don't brush their hair, eat crap... and wonder why they don't get seen in the professional world with others with CREDENTIALS who like- wear business professional dress code and things like that and blame corporations for everything that's wrong in their lives. I'm broke and unemployed and I'm blaming the progressives for killing the economy.
But whatever. Illegals are getting hired at Goldman Trash so anything goes anymore- just as long as you share the street drugs.

They tried doing this in Boston; until something funny happened:

How about a nice compact apartment with a one time rent fee then? I bet we could fit a lot of these wonderful liberal progressive pukes into an ashtray. Or better yet, we could go green and turn them into bio-diesel and put them into our fuel tanks. That sounds like a win-win scenario to me.
OR we could stuff you into a puke container, and solve all our problems-how does that sound?
Folks, I just think we just outed a liberal progressive scum bag. Enjoy your big city tyranny and your diversity but quit trying to ram it down our throats.
Small high rent apartments means more tax revenue.
Just remember kids, NY City has been in a housing emergency since WW II. We haven't had a normal housing market in that municipality since FDR was president. Any article on NYC housing that doesn't have rent control front and center is a psychological manipulation and that includes this one.
" Will Pay $2-3k a Month for “Micro-Apartments”
Close to being like the homeless people living in boxes (next step). Bedbug city.
There is much fuss raised in this city about micro apts. Its one thing when you can hear a fart from the next apt over. Its quite another when you can SMELL IT; These "apodments" are punched out of beer cans and styrofoam; they are miserable to live in, unless you are 20 and living in your first apt (the thrill!)....which you must also share a kitchen with 4 other units. So the city is thinking of calling a $700/month cap for rent on these "apartments"
Nothing compared to NYC, but still steep for this city
Sounds great. Pay a fortune to rent a shoebox to live in and still get mugged, raped, beaten, robbed, and killed by niggers when you step out your door. Of course few will hear about the crime since it doesn't fit the sickening liberal progressive narrative. Oh well, you'd have to be sickening leftist brainwashed bastard to live there anyways.
can you say 'Masochists'?
Wow! Take a good look at that photo -
I never realised Jon Corzine had fallen so low!
Unpossible! Oligarchs only flaunt their wealth in Putin's Russia! In America we're all equal! Land of opportunity!
Right?
Right??
Riiiight???
Typical of the nonsense that is comming from typical NYC inhabitants.
About 50% don't speak English at home. Maybe they live on roasted rat rump with crispy roaches for the topping.
The space in new york isn't actually worth that on the market, its banks and "investors" driving up real estate and rental prices to keep their contracts from deflating into worthlessness . . . there is bank intervention propping up property values because a lot of powerful and connected people are invested in city properties / spaces . . . the banks cant let their most influential clients take a hit.
I would wager for every 1 sucker who ponies up and pays this crap for these shit small apartments there are 7~10 vacant apartments in the same building that have been that way for months/years.
You dont see people lining up to move into NYC, and a lot of foreigners are buying up lots in Manhattan. . . propping up valuations with foreign funny money. . . . pump and dump on foreigners.
The entire thing smells pretty fishy.
If the U.S. can cut capital gains tax on Remnimbi bonds to fund US corporate expansion into China to 0%, this "market" will disappear.
Houses depreciate, China has unlimited demand of consumers who might like McDs.
You gotta be a real retard to pay 3k for a micro apartment in Jew York.
Tri-Wall refrigerator boxes are GREAT. get 2 or 3 and glue them together you are living in the Ritz.
Went out to eat in the city the other day, the decadence in the city is disgusting I actually find it repulsive, waitresses that resemble coat racks, 100$ steaks with no mashed potatoes or sides . . . its bizzaro world.
People in NYC/Manhattan live in the fucking twilight zone, I highly doubt half of them are actually human.
It reminds me a lot of the last episode of the walking dead, where Rick walks into the new town where the people have been sheltered since the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. . ., and him and his group come to the conclusion that the inhabitants that let them in are . . . weak and unfit to survive and if worst came to worst and "they dont make it, well just take this place".
As you can gauge, I don't spend a lot of time in the city, I somewhat prefer real people and reality I guess, call it a character flaw if you want I don't really care.
Strip away the artificial life support from bank fraud, and the city and its inhabitants would perish within a week, they are kept alive through artificial means and to an outsider looking in . . . it is readily apparent.
sounds like San Francisco these days
If you really wanna lose faith in humanity walk into a Bed, Bath, and Beyond in NYC. It's like The Walking Dead but yuppies instead of zombies. I die a little inside every time I walk in there.

An Englishman was visiting New York for the first time and ask somone on the street '' Could you direct me to the Guggenheim Museum, or should I go fuck myself??''
Not much worth seeing in museums nowadays , its all modern toilet paper made of canvass and paper mache, you have to be the kind of person that enjoys the smell of fancy canned flatulence to enjoy art in these places nowadays, so on one end, you might actually be better off to just go F yourself lol
“A continuation of this trend presents the greatest threat to liberty, free markets and an evolution of human consciousness on the planet today.”
Let’s put this in fuller context. Yes, the situation does look very bleak; and the sales of luxury items are mere consequences of the core issue: the cannibalization of following generations of Americans. The cause and measure of this “eating our children” is governmental debt; it’s amount is the extent to which following generations will have to suffer from confiscatory taxes; taxes that cannot be collected practically or constitutionally; for, as a general practice, men will not voluntarily cannibalize themselves. This is made necessary as dollars are issued into economic existence IN EXCHANGE for government securities (directly or indirectly). There is currently enough government debt to cannibalize following generations of Americans to the end of time. Please, don’t take my word for it; this is a conclusion I arrived at according to data, assumptions and formulas provided by Financial Reports of the US Government.
So much for the cause of America’s destruction.
Now, a historical context will give a clue as to what will follow.
Will Durant reported, in his History of Civilization, that the ancient world reached apexes of development, in every category of man’s activities (literature and engineering, medicine (actually, a science of health) and law, astronomy and mathematics et cetera) during the first century of the Current Era (commonly, AD). From there, man’s struggle moved in retrograde motion until about the thirteenth or fourteenth centuries. From that turning point, it took the world another 600 years to climb back to levels of achievement not seen for 1800 years.
Most people call these lost years the Dark Age, and that they lasted a thousand years.
Influences that brought on this Dark Age did not begin during the first century CE; they began many thousands of years before that period – and reached their goal in the time span mentioned. This means that we can’t lay all blame for the Dark Age on Christianity: its co-conspirator, and principal, was a “nation of death” now known as Judeo-Bolsheviks.
Had it not been for the Dark Age, what would be man’s condition today? We could begin this speculation by comparing man’s condition as it was in America around the year 1850 with his economic and technological condition today. We should disregard man’s ethical condition today because there is too much evidence that this “nation of death” has dominated sleaze purveyors since time out of mind; and to compare one period of time with another, regarding his ethical condition, would merely compare contents of one garbage can with another. So, how do we measure man’s achievement over the last 150 years? Formerly, it took 4-6 months to travel from one coast of America to the other; today, a mere four hours. It took the same 4-6 months to send a message from coast to coast; today, less than a second.
What does this mean? If we could have rid mankind of the “nation of death” in the year 50 CE, men would have reached our level of economic and technological development by the year 200 CE.
Where would that put us today… traveling among the stars… with colonies on several planets thru-out the galaxy? And, without the corrupting influence of this “nation of death”, could we have rid the planet of wars, poverty, hunger, sleaze, slavery. The head spins with possibilities; and the heart breaks for the horrors men have suffered during the long and dark night of death.
Who can calculate the price men have paid for lack of someone who would steer them away from the rocks and to safer waters? (Complete article.)
We can all sum this up in just two words:
1. "GHETTO"
2. "RICH"
How about that Astin Martin outside of that cardboard box with pickle jar and an address?
I live in this piece of shit city (have a short walk to work it's the only reason why) and I pay slightly under $2,000 for a very small studio apartment although it's in a very nice neighborhood in midtown east. I agree with all the other NYCers or former NYCers here that it is a disgusting, crowded, overpriced shithole. If not for my job I would NEVER live here.
And you called me crazy when I said "they" see us only as human cattle...
My garage is 400 sq ft. So glad I escaped NYC!
It all makes sense now. I can only see upside to this plan and it great for the recovery:
Step 1: Create hovel and market as appartment = Create a better return on investment for developers.
Step 2: Since hovel is to small for a kitchen, you always need to dine out = More employment opportunities for waiters and bartenders.
Step 3: Roll out even more developments.
