“On the plus side, Andlinger paid only $25 million in March 2005 for the apartment, where the master bedroom suite includes an office, his-and-hers dressing rooms, his-and-hers bathrooms and a gym; the 41-foot-long living room has floor-to-ceiling windows; the corner library/office is covered in red lacquer; the dining room has a view of the Hudson River; the pantry has a laundry center; and the five bedrooms all have en-suite bathrooms.”

It sold for $37.5 MM, a $12.5 MM profit over 4 years.

I’m telling you all, and yet you mock me, IT IS THE EN-SUITE BATHROOMS THAT ARE THE KEY TO A QUICK PROFIT.

That’s what gets me about unions…they are always off marching and hollering about something, but they never wanna tell you up front that they often already have a sweetheart deal that most under/unemployed Americans would love to be ‘stuck with.’ Greedy F!cks.

Did everyone see this?

We’ve seen some overpriced pads, but this might be the greatest one yet. A $27.5MM price cut!

Somehow I think the seller is still doing ok…

What gets me is not the hourly or the basic benefits- but c’mon! 9 weeks of paid leave? And the union refused to negotiate and demands? Unions have got to get a grip- I have no love for them. They put my father out of business years ago because his shop voted not to go union. They forget- we aren’t in the same world as Debs and Gompers.

God, bxgirl, that’s awful. I’ve seen the boycott stella d’oro posters up, had no idea they were already unionized and had such a sweet deal to behin with.
