Martin-Christopher Harper, a 32-year-old hairstylist, has moved more than 40 times during the 9 years he’s spent in New York City. According to the New York Times:

When he lists the neighborhoods he has lived in — in chronological order — he sounds like a bartender reciting a long list of microbrews: “Brooklyn, Chelsea Hotel for a moment, Bronx, Carroll Gardens, Crown Heights, Red Hook, Carroll Gardens, Greenpoint, Chelsea, Crown Heights, Carroll Gardens, Williamsburg, Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, Williamsburg, East Williamsburg…”

The article discusses the psychological problems of the constant mover, noting that Harper has been “tackling the issue in therapy.” Sure, 40 moves in 9 years is extreme, but we know plenty of mentally-stable Brooklynites who’ve lived in a lot of apartments in search of the perfect place. Does anybody come close to this guy’s moving history?
