To provide you with one of those “What the Hell am I doing in New York” moments, we thought we’d show you what $490,000 buys you in the middle of nowhere (okay, upstate actually).

A villa in the rolling hills of Chianti would be my choice.
The Amalfi Coast…heaven on earth.
I agree – Rome wins…or Sienna.
I like Brooklyn, but I’d rather be in Rome. London is nice, too.
What’s good about this house? It’s an abomination.
Come on, you live in Brooklyn, one of the most beautiful city in the world in any sense, everybody talks about it and everybody loves it, I guess you have to pay the price for something like that, I think you should be a bit more proud of the fact that you live here otherwise you might be wright, move!

Clinton hillbilly and bkborn: Of course, you’re 100% correct. But still, that HGTV program is quite an eye-opener, and it makes you think. Nevertheless, I’ve lived in (Brownstone) Brooklyn all my life and can’t think of anywhere else I’d want to live.
