What is this supposed to show? Other than that I pay more property taxes on my own house, which is worth a small fraction of this one lol

Our own brought on disstruction, where the norm for houses in Brooklynis going for 3M

🙈 Having grown up in Brooklyn, for the life of me, I cannot understand why people are choosing to move there. Inertia keeps people there, but what is attractive about $3M houses with tiny concrete backyards, no eruv (for most people), lousy politics, traffic, no parking, speed/red light cameras, etc.? If you told me housing was cheap, then you can start a cost/benefit analysis, but this is just adding insult to injury...

There are major benefits to being able to walk or take public transport everywhere and not needing a car. But I did hear from someone that its really difficult to find rentals there now. A 3 bedroom goes for about $4.5k/mo. Kind of goes against the whole NYC is emptying out narrative.

Okay, I'll concede that point. But I could buy two cars every month for the difference in mortgage payments. Okay one car for normal people who want something nicer. That's a tough sell
