Our dreams of turning the desolate Rat Island off the coast of City Island into our own personal evil lair have been dashed—for now. As planned, the island was sold at auction last weekend.

This Private New York City Island Could Be Yours For A Song
New York City's real estate is famously insane (we have parking spots more expensive than most American's pay in rent) so how is that one man has been unable to sell an entire island here for more than two years?

The wonderfully-named Red Brennen has been trying to sell the regrettably-named Rat Island (off the coast of City Island) for bargain basement prices since 2009 with no luck.
