You Know You're Priced Out of a City...
when TIM GUNN can't afford to buy an apartment! Granted, he didn't make anything during the first season of Project Runway and granted, I'm still unsure about the cost/benefit ratio of actually owning, but ma GAH.
What’s the future of New York? What are your hopes, and what needs to happen?
Tim Gunn: I’d love to rid the city of private cars. Traffic here makes us feel like a Third-World city. And if I had another wish, I’d want the city to be more affordable—I just want to be able to buy an apartment! I don’t think that will ever happen.
You’re a renter?
Tim Gunn: Yeah. I’ve been renting for 25 years. And when I add up all that I’ve poured into that rental black hole, it’s formidable.

And this article is before the 30,000 finance jobs lost. Not that a lot of people will be shedding a tear, but this stuff trickles down in NYC.
Just saying.
