  3. its very very nice, but the 26 foot width would drive me bonkers.

    for 15 million, i'll take a penthouse in the city OR a greenwich/ bryn mawr spread.

    exactly.

    I have been told that there are a million dollar condos being built all over that neighborhood. he bought that house at a time when the side streets were full of flophouses and drug dealing and brownstones were being sold for a dime.


    maybe he can't trade but he sure can invest.

  6. So it has appreciated by 14,185% in almost 30 years. Not a bad investment. So if it performs the same way over the next 30 years, it will be worth $2.1 billion in the year 2036. No big deal though, because you earn more in NYC.

    He'll still pay us taxes unless he renounces us citizenship. We'll know who's side he's on if he goes that route.

    Sorry for my bad grammar. I meant US. You really should have been able to tell from the rest of the sentence, though.
