Insane prices at the Prism. One bd apt start at $5100. If you are making $100k a year, you have no chance. $200k/salary is minimum, even then you are cutting coupons. Is this sustainable? It reminds me of Yankee Stadium and their luxe boxes which were priced just for corporate companies. They became eyesores since they were always empty.
Yankee Stadium doesn't care if corporate boxes are empty so long as they are paid for. Which is like a lot of new real estate in NYC. Of course the concessionaire doesn't make any money, neither do the local restaurants, shops, or the tax man.
While you're waiting for the next collapse, here's one for $2100, just a few blocks away: http://streeteasy.com/building/555-2-avenue-manhattan/3
