Love the original bathroom.
I saw a lot worse, asking for a lot more, when I was looking. (Is apartment hunting one of the most depressing tasks?)
This leads to one of the great things about NYC... no one lives there unless they REALLY want to live in NYC.
Alice- It's hard to get the full force of this place without the smell.
Bro- Not so sure about that.
Hey man don't kill the fantasy.
Michelle Bachman will lower rents.
Nasty
Come up here about an hour away in the 'burbs and live like a king... sorta, kinda.
My sister just left that bathroom on 96th & Amsterdam. Costs a lot less to live uptown.
Ha! The smell. Nice touch. You know how to seal the deal, don't you?
In another galaxy that leans there is now a ferocious debate about miniture denim clothing. Maybe there is link between minature selvedge and that apartment.
You have lived in worse...just not in this century! ME :)
Jeff- I'd be happy for the King of Beers.
Patsy- 96th? I haven't been north of 86th in three years.
Alice- I'd describe it but you couldn't handle it.
looney- You know -- It looks like McNairy lived here.
ME- Not for $2,100...
For half that I have a 3000 sq ft. two-story with 1/4 acre lot, 15 minute commute, country roads on my bike in 10 minutes and a park for the kiddos. Ah the Midwest. Certainly I don't have everything you gents have in NYC, but I can't say I'd trade ya.
Take the AC out of the equation and the fancy black and white bathroom tiling and you could be in any (from Prague to Vladivostok) Eastern Bloc apartment built from 1950 to 1985.
DUMP!
That apartment is why I left NYC...
4780 sq ft with more granite than the Grand Canyon, 5brs, 17ft ceilings in the living areas, pool and a large yard I. Dallas for $1500 mortgage, taxes and insurance. Let's ,e come to NY when I want to visit and stay in style. I'll keep mine. ;)
Pre-war space: OK.
Post-war enhancements: Not so much.
Maybe skip this one.

Ever hear of Stockholm Syndrome?
When you are kidnapped or held captive, it's common for some people to sympathize with or defend their captor's actions. Since the captor holds the power of life and death over them, any restraint or lack of abuse is perceived as kindness.
Maybe it's the same thing with NYC, and, most notably, the real estate market. It's NY that holds us captive.
We're "happy" to have that $2100 studio. Heck, we reason, at least it doesn't have rats. Even Alice Olive said she's seen worse for more money. We always reason it could be worse. At least it's not as expensive as center-city London or Tokyo. ;-)

Apparently the state of New York has expanded the federal Fair Housing Act to include morons as a protected class.
I've always wanted to live where snuff films were made.
Word verification: heroin
I was going to move there, this time, then realized I would be forced to get a real job. So.
