I have never understood people who want to live in a big city like New York. I, like most people, have the attitude that it's a great place to visit, but I'd never want to live there.

I'd take the Villages any day over Manhattan even with a view of Central Park.

Another thing that always puzzled me was people who live and work in big cities talking about the wonderful views from their windows. I would look out and see a bunch of ugly buildings and filthy alleys. To me, a great view is the Grand Canyon, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the Everglades. There is no view in any city that compared with those.

I think that it's absurd that people pay $2,000,000 for a tiny apartment in NYC where they have no land, no backyard, no fresh air. I had a friend that paid $800,000 for a studio apartment on 21st street. When I went to visit, he would show me his view of the Empire State building. You sort of had to stick your head halfway out the window and turn to the left. All I could think about was what kind of beautiful house with landscaping and gardens and a garage and basement that you could buy in my old neighborhood in Massachusetts for that kind of money.

Oh well each to their own, I guess.

Anyroad, I don't think that anyone is paying $2,000,000 for the view alone. It looks like a gorgeous home with a great lanai and a wonderful yard. It has several bedrooms and bathrooms and looks like a wonderful place to live and to have company stay over.
