Rumor has it that 9 Astor Place sold for $475K.

Not sure how it could've sold since closing takes a couple of weeks. I do know there was an offer being placed for 560k right after the open house. It could've fell through but even if it did go for 475 is almost double what the owner paid for.

Tell the developer they can have your apartment for nothing with 3 conditions

1. You get one of the largest new apartments that includes a car park
2. They pay for rent elsewhere while it's being built
3. A clause that states your apartment is exempt from any complex maintenance fees / levy

Anyone else?

If only half of your apartment went out during a legitimate outage, you should really have an electrician by some time to see why all of your circuits aren't connected to one central breaker. It could literally save your life some day.

I went to see a 1bedroom condo in Paulus hook in 2009 for $375K (could have gotten it for $340K at the end, it was a short sale). Now it's back on the market for $575K.

The rate of price increases in the last few years is a bit scary, in my opinion.

Why do you think it's scary? Scary for some, payday for others, I guess. Do you think the 1BR in Paulus Hook will sell or is that an unrealistic price?

for the Sunday deliveries, they often just lie on the USPS tracking system. they have promised Amazon two-day delivery, but they're often not capable of doing that for whatever reason, so they mark in the system that they attempted delivery on Sunday (even though they haven't) and then they actually deliver it on Monday.

I've had this experience at least half a dozen times, it's annoying and confusing, but the packages aren't lost, at least in my experience.

To me it is more evidence both parties are completely bought and paid for, and the 1% (or .1%) completely control the system, economically.

A place is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. The property 2 doors down sold for $550 just a few months ago, so it'll be interesting to see what happens. That being said, I live on Astor Pl and we've received two letters in the past two weeks (one from a house hunter and one from a realtor) saying they are looking for a property (restored or not) on Astor Place. So apparently there is demand.

Dog meat is common, not a big deal.

The concept of eating dog is disgusting to me, but as your post indicates, I have heard this is a massive cultural difference, as people in China are quite comfortable eating dog.
