Is this supposed to be a deal!? you're throwing away $1387 a month on taxes and maintenance on a place you own? Crazy!

The thing floating looked like a spider to me at first.
looks too small for my taste. Crappy decor too.

Looks like a person, the thing that is floating in the pool.

This city is run by and for it's employees and contractors, not it's citizens. That is absolutely true, and HAS been absolutely true for as long as anyone can remember. Few cities take so very much in and yet return so very little to its citizens. Funny that the slideshow on this "2 bedroom" condo didn't show either of the bedrooms???

Not according the our leaders. The way they make all income disappear is one of the great magic acts of all time! This city is run by and for it's employees and contractors, not it's citizens. I've said this here before but it bears repeating: They managed to run the Parking Authority in the red a few years back, an agency essentially chartered to make money like a mint. Think of what that means for the rest of the JC govt arms that have less obvious standards of productivity than turning a profit.

This city is getting $9000 in taxes for this little place. I guess if I count all the windows of these apartment buildings that are condo owned then it's $9000 (or more) for each one. (window) The city (J.C.) coffers are bulging.
