A while back there was a member on the forum in NYC that complained their movie career was not evolving as fast as they had hoped. I can't remember all the details, but my feelings on that would be...if you can afford to live in NYC, even just, you are a success!
Recently photographer Elliott Erwitt's NYC Central Park's residence came up for sale after he passed away. I seldom study NYC real estate prices. I could never even afford the co-op's maintenance fees, let alone the sales price. So, I was kinda shocked it was so high and it sold so fast. It is a whole different world in NYC.
Erwitt had a little studio downstairs as well. Between the 2 co-ops, the monthly maintenance fee was just under $20,000 a month.
Here are some of Erwitt's photos...
