That was $100k per property.<br /><br />Real estate parasites like Shoal could not and would not be able to do their thing if the city dis-allowed zoning variances and other incentives that reward over-development of over-priced yuppie ghettos. The cherry the city puts on top of this is that while those units sit vacant awaiting the suckers to crawl in, Shoal can get a tax write-off!! chris flashnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-77691772656930306632015-12-17T03:09:01.110-05:002015-12-17T03:09:01.110-05:00Seriously...a million for a studio?

The weird thing is back home on the west coast, 1 million would buy you a 2000 square foot house with a garage, pool, and backyard. Ironic isn't that New Yorkers will spend every dime they earn just to live in a box. Gotta love NYC kids.
