“”The nearly 1,400-foot tower at 432 Park Avenue, briefly the tallest residential building in the world, was the pinnacle of New York’s luxury condo boom half a decade ago, fueled largely by foreign buyers seeking discretion and big returns.””
I’ll save others the trouble of wondering what the heck city they’re talking about - should have excerpted it...
I have a friend who lives in a high-rise in NYC. He has N ongoing war with the super. He also has a source of used bowling balls. Once and a while one of the balls will find it’s way into the building’s waste chute. Makes a helluva racket and has been know to knock bottoms out of the chute when it hits an incline.
“I’ll save others the trouble of wondering what the heck city they’re talking about - should have (expected) it...”
It will always end the same, yet people simply WILL NOT LEARN. NYC was a great place under Rudy and even Bloomberg - they had no room for the old-normal in NYC (drugs, killings, wrap, etc.). Then they elect Delblasio and the city goes into the tank. One would think that people putting down 8 figure sums for condos would consider the implications of Delblasio for their ‘investments’...and get the hell out. But nope, the idiots stay put, and lose their shirts.
Love it.
“The nearly 1,400-foot tower at 432 Park Avenue,”
I wouldn’t think all that many cities have both 1,400 ft apartment towers and a prominent residential street called Park Avenue.
