To put things in perspective....there is a woman on my block on the UWS of Manhattan & she pays $923 for a 7 bedroom apartment. She is 53 & has lived there all her life. She inherited the apt. when her mother died a few years ago. At the time they raised it from $459 to $923. Meanwhile, in my building they (illegally) coveted two bedroom apartments to 6 bedroom apartments & rent the “rooms” to students at Columbia Univ. The price: $7500.00 per month.
