Where would you rather live? Billionaire row has great views on the higher floors in some buildings, but it’s far from the train. Also they hardly have any cool Art Deco sculptures.
I think the choice is obvious, but what are some of the pros and cons?
Con: pricey window treatments
Con:so high up in the clouds you wake up every panicked every morning thinking your dead and in heaven
Pro: kick ass water fountains
Pro: cool sculptures of stuff and window air conditioning
Having spent many years as a very poor person pursuing very high education, I am aware how important to that kind of person is an information about cheap yet decent (and even historically architecturally significant) place to live. The types of people that I am talking about are postdoctoral fellows/junior researchers in basic sciences, medical residents, and people with careers in humanities at every level. Many, very many of such people are immigrants (like me) or come from limited means in the US (including minorities and first-generation college graduates). There are high quality people with very little money, and very limited earning potential within the first 5-10 years of their career, or in case of humanities, ever. Some retirees from the world of academia fall into this category of high quality people with low means too. These people (in many ways similar to me) are the ones who should know about Parkchester.
One has to be dumb as a doorknob, a total imbecile with an IQ well below the level of an ape, to compare the kind of people described above with billionaires. SeventhFloor, what kind of "moderator" are you, allowing a city living forum, that is presumably supposed to be informative about city living, to get infested with a million of idiotic threads in which the same 5-6 people just keep repeating forever the same very stupid and unfunny "joke"?
I am sure the dame standing in the window is QUITE pricey.
