Good luck with those $2k/month studios in downtown Brooklyn, Ratner.
Is $3,400 for a 2BR in Fort Greene supposed to be a good price? I'm paying $2,600 for a 2BR, the entire floor of a brownstone, in upper Park Slope on 7th Ave, and I still think I'm paying way too much. And who in their right mind would pay $2,000/month for a studio?
"husband has to dig through garbage dump to find it."
That's not what the linked article says. Sanitation Department employees looked for it, not the husband:
"Supervisor Michael Brotons and sanitation workers Edgar Lopez and Joseph McGee went through the refuse until they found the garbage bag that Bridget Pericolo had tied together."
