Sublet of the day

EVG reader Jackflashnyc shares this photo... showing a spacious sublet — 6 square feet — available on Seventh Street between Avenue A and First Avenue. Price: a modest $3,750.

It likely won't be on the market long — Rainer Turim reports that there's already plenty of interest in the space...

Today's time sucker: PadMapper

I was reading about PadMapper on LifeHacker...and started playing around with it for no good reason. (Oh, what's PadMapper? As Adam explained at LifeHacker: It "maps Craigslist's apartment listings on a Google Map for an at-a-glance look at available offerings.")

Anyway, I came across a "recession" discount sublet -- $125 for a room on Avenue A and 10th Street. Huh? Is that for a day? A week? I went to look at the actual listing on Craigslist...and it had been removed.
