Quote from newguy05:

you guys forgot the most important item: the average hourly rate of a highend hooker!

yeah. where i live such pleasure costs $100.

1 bedroom apt, decent standard and location: 700 usd.
2 bedroom: 1,000 usd

drink at a club: $7
meal at a good restaurant + wine + dessert : $15 to $20

city transportation monthly ticket: 70 usd.
avg net salary: $1,000

avg 2 bdrm condo sale price: about $200k

conclusion: real estate costs the most.
reason: millions of ignorant greedy bastards buy on mortgage.

without massive spending on credit, prices of everything will slump by 50%

Good point, although I don't care to live surrounded by illegal un-assimilated immigrants either. Which is where the US is headed.

I prefer to live in an un-assimilated neighborhood, so if you don't like it please move.

Anyone who can't live in an un-assimilated neighborhood just can't assimilate to the American Way and should be sent back to where they came from.

You call yourself an American, but I bet you're one of those Krauts who secretly eats hot dogs.

Maybe they mean the other boroughs because there is no way in hell Manhattan is 59th. Outside of Manhattan, there are areas that look and feel like a third world country, so I'm not surprised if they include all 5 boroughs.

We live in a very nice neighborhood. It had three great restaurants, A McDonalds, a Burger King and a Wendys. Everyone was perfectly assimilated. And then when the golf pro shop went out of business, a family of rather questionable background moved in and opened an Italalian restaurant. And they didn't just serve spaghetti and meatballs like mom made, they served all kinds of unassimilated food, like rigatoni and all kinds of things I never heard of.

Well thet was bad enough, but then a foreign exchange student graduated and got a job in the local chemical factory and made so much American money she brought her asian parents over here and bought them a house. But they could never assimilate and opened up a chinese restaurant and when you go there you can hear them back in the kitchen speaking their jibberish.

Now there's talk about a Mexican restaurant opening, I think they call it Chi-Chis. If that happens I'm moving.

oh sorry, I didn't see the part about ILLEGAL immigrants. I couldn't agree more. It's the job of all the governments in the world to decide where people can live.
