BKSir -> RE: Buy New York for 85M (10/25/2009 9:08:49 AM)
|
I do love visiting NY, for short stints (the shorter the better really, it's so damned expensive), and plan on visiting again. But you couldn't pay me enough to live there. No, literally, no one can pay anyone enough to live there! A friend of mine recently sold his place there for, if I recall, $750k, for like 700 sq. ft. We have more than 700 sq ft. of BEDROOM space in the house, not counting the office which could be converted quickly into another one! That's insane!
Don't get me wrong, it's one hell of a fun city, and the people are awesome (no, really, it's true. The "jerks" that everyone thinks are from NYC are actually the holland tunnel crew from jersey, actual New Yorkers kick ass).
My big question is, why would anyone willingly spend that much money to become mayor of ANYWHERE? The man is obviously a total idiot! Spending that much to be mayor of NY, when the salary is only $200k/year. If he seriously has such an overwhelming compulsion to just waste money, he could send some my way... please? Shit, $85 MIL! He could literally buy California for that right now I think. But then I'd just think he's even more stupid than I already do. Sorry, but anyone who takes that much of a loss to become a mayor... or anything for that matter... needs to be locked up in an asylum. And there's no way I would ever trust him to work on any kind of budget either!
(PS: This is all in humour... mostly. I'm well aware of his other business and philanthropic ventures, and he's actually quite admirable for the most part. I still think he's bat shit insane for spending 85 mil to become mayor of NYC though.) [:D]
