    Ginormous flat-screen TV: you can watch it until the marshals stop by to enforce the eviction order and then you can use the box it came in as your new residence in lovely Central Park. By then, you'll be thin enough actually fit in the box. Entertainment, amortization, housing and weight loss: it's win-win for everyone!

    @TedSez: I actually was trolling online to see the condo prices lately, and granted these are probably un-updated sites for a few months, but a few places still look like they're trying to pull in a mil or more. And I'm talking about the Lenox and the Lenox Grand in Harlem.


    Then I looked at Craigslist because I was curious to see what people were asking for and its still mostly over $1,500 for spots.


    When is this whole inflated prices thing supposed to deflate some?

    @The Real JR: Here in L.A., people are still asking ridiculously inflated prices for homes, and they aren't selling -- meanwhile, they're actually worth less every month. Whereas the few homes that are "discounted" back to around 2004-2005 levels actually do sell, and the sellers will probably be far better off in the end.

    @TedSez: Manhattan real estate is only off by a squinch, depending on the 'hood. I'm on the LES, asking prices are down maybe 10% since last year, but places are staying on the market for months instead of weeks and sellers may have to trim about 5% off of that to get the deal done. Not awful at all, and other neighborhoods are doing better. But take a look at Brooklyn...yeesh, that borough is a mess.

    Buy this $1,4500 desert, and use the shiny bauble to distract post-apocalyptic nuclear mutants who would otherwise consume you like a "mango and pomegranate compote [with] a champagne sabayon."
