Build the tallest building in the world in Harlem

Would you buy a hundred dollar lotto ticket to win one of nine hundred apartments in a building in Harlem?

The Exchange

i would not spend $100 to flat out buy anything in harlem


I might, but I'm pretty sure a third of the country won't.

You sure Andrew? You could make 10x your money just renting a crappy studio for a month.

What is the point of 1000 apartments in Manhattan? Are you aware that the Stuyvesant Town complex has 8,757?

Your proposal is quaint.


Good! Then we can fit in more homeless people!

Excellent work, Comrade Dingo!

Given you could fit twelve of these tallest buildings in the world in a 4x4 grid in that space...got you out numbered. And I was thinking school in the penthouse so kids can look down on NY.

If china could build these along the mid-Atlantic ridge would you live there?

And have your first renter do enough damage to render the place uninhabitable? No thanks. i might try rental in the best of places but not there.

I'm starting to sense a lot of bigotry toward raising people out of poverty...

Bigotry towards thieves and vandals? yep.

That may be - but I bet if government hadn't mismanaged their equal share of the benefits and taken away their equal share of the responsibility, they would be different people. So when curing the disease you vaccinate at the bottom where it breeds and the cure slows the expansion of the disease.

Oh look! a Wall street banker.

I think this metaphor has stretched to its limit, unless you are advocating addressing chronic poverty (and the crime that goes along with it) through the use of blades and nuclear weaponry.

yeah not close but no tolerance for crime and trash


Just for fun:

You pay $100 for one of Comrade Dingo's shares.

You get an apartment in Manhattan that you rent out. Citizen Mordion says you can easily get back 10x your money, but the first random google search actually gets me a much higher amount.

You rent it out for a year before Citizen R.'s thieves and vandals trash the place--although I don't understand how you're going to find poor people who can afford $2100/month, but, anyway--and that's $25,000 a year. Not bad for a $100 investment.

Anyway, I doubt Citizen R.'s been to Harlem in a while, but it's really much nicer (whiter?) than it used to be.
