Such a dumb show, yet I keep watching.  I want to live in that building, New Yorkers are so lucky.

Really liked episode six, especially Martin Short.

Much better than last year's season

It'll cost you.  2 BRs start at $4 million.

I do have a friend trying to sell a small upper west side one bedroom for 265000 if anyone is interested.

The latest episode was bad.  REALLY bad.  Meryl Streep was quite annoying, as was Renee Zelweger (how did Ant Anstead go from Christina's annoying voice to an even more annoying one?) and I wasn't entertained by a single character.  Easily the worst episode of the series.

You probably don't know exactly, since it's not your pad. but I imagine the HOA, or "Maintenance", is unGodly.   Add that to the tax, and, well, wow.

Like I said in a different response.  It's not just the price, it's the FUCKING HOA.  When I look at NYC realestate listings, the prices often match my expectations, but the tax and the Maintenance, no fucking thank you.  Not that the tax on the house I briefly had here in LA was low, but my god the HOA on For-Sale NYC Condos is ridiculous.

He told me it was 765 per month.  But I would need to check that.   It was up near Colombia University.  I was there once or twice and it was a nice space but I would definitely need a larger space in addition, perhaps to keep this place as a second home.

Not bad at all, that's amazing.

I preferred this week's episode to last week's garbage.  It was rather low-key but I liked the sentimentality and the acting.

The season was good overall but lost steam as it went along.  The wonderful episode about Oliver's childhood was the highlight and the horrible episode with Meryl Streep's awful and truly annoying performance pretending to be psychic was the lowlight.  The finale fell somewhere in between.

Real estate tax is generally in the maintenance.

I didn't know that.  I wonder why the NYTimes lists them separately.

For condos they could be separate, for co-ops generally not because there technically there is no ownership of separate units.

For some strange reason in the Thursday listings they sometimes separate Maintenance and taxes on Condos too, not just coops.  Oh well.

Are you sure it's not the other way around?  From the listings I can see, they show the taxes for condos but not co-ops.

The first listing is a condo not a coop, but it lists 

Common charges: $1,838 a month

Taxes: $1,499 a month

Exactly, they can be listed separately for condos but not co-ops.
