It's wild NYC had all these useless Drug Dealers that are seen as legends but used their bread to trick off instead of buying up land and businesses like other ethnic groups crime organizations do.

Yeah but then the govt can say they brought the money with dirty funds and use that eminent domain/ civil forefeiture bullshyt...:stopitslime: they'll take it from them anyways...

Why are buyers still joking around with a floor here, a few floors there. Think big, think bold, think single family high-rise. Why should you share this city with pissant lawyers and bankers, push those b*stards out to Brooklyn and keep Manhattan reserved for the fund managers, and better yet, sovereign state resource grifters. You didn't sell your country's mineral rights to Apple so you could live upstairs from some tech M&A schlub from Goldman.

How many people do that? If anything there are too many 30 year olds living with their parents making no effort to move out.

That just mean that the cost of living is too high. Europe has the same problem, but the economy isn't improving and we have too many people.
