You Still Can't Afford To Live Here

Suddenly, we've realized the cardboard box we call home is quite the steal: Manhattan condo prices continue to soar above the $1 million mark, making our dream of having a roof over our heads a silly impossibility. Sweet, our hangovers just got that much worse. Curbed reports:

Sales appear particularly hot on the Upper West Side, where median sale prices jumped 48% from last year to $1.29 million, but brokers say it's just that crazy Time Warner Center throwing things out of whack. Meantime, East Side condo prices actually dropped in the last 12 months, from $952,000 in 2003 to $903,000. Quick, someone build a towering monolith to corporate glory on Fifth Ave! Er, another one!
