all a product of someone's vivid imagination....can't they seasonally adjust themselves to reality?

or pay their rent with hedonic cheques?

why pay rent at all? simply move into a card-board box and geometrically weight your spending patterns by buying turnips instead of paying rent...

BLS knows best...

Although I can't find a link, the residential
brokerage firm Douglas Elliman, sub. of Insignia,
found that the average cost of buying a Manhattan
apartment climbed 42 percent in the second quarter
to $854,704. Both the price and percentage are the
highest in the 10-year history of the study which
sampled the sale of 2,257 NYC apartments. (The avg.
price in the first quarter was $733,860 so the 42%
number was probably a yty comp.) FWIW.
