why are the maintenance fees so high?

Address?

This is an outrage!

Probably because there's no retail income.

It's a land lease - avoid it like the plague!!

I heard it's the outrageous building staff pension plan.

Seems reasonable to me given the level of service.

See West34, I knew you couldn't leave.

It's because Patrick Quagliano decided to stock up on that hideous bleach he uses -- it's going off he market because most of the little old ladies who use it have died off -- and now the shareholders are paying the price!!!! Poor west 23rd street.............. Hang in there, things change you know.

fieldsy -- I never said I was leaving "now". I said "In case the Discussion Board just vanishes one day" I was saying my goodbye in advance.

Well, I'm glad you are still on West 34th Street and you didn't move to Ottawa or Williamsburg or C0lumbia C0unty or West 67th Street.
