Fuck me sideways.

If you have an active lifestyle and really just need a place to sleep and wake in the morning that's the perfect place.
Oh and 150k for an apartment in Morningside Heights is a bargain.

I hate New York. Too many trees, too much green, and everything is going up or down a hill.

I've lived in a place about that size, maybe smaller, before. A couple places, actually. And a friend of mine had a place that was definitely smaller that she called home.
I kinda miss living like that.

It's times like this I look at my 2,000-square foot, split-entry house in Minnesota we bought for $189,000 and ask all the New Yorkers, "and WE'RE the rubes?!?"
Yeah, yuck.
No thanks! If I lived by myself, it wouldn't be too bad, but 2 people and 2 animals? Living in NY can't be that great.
You can buy at least a 2500 sq ft home around here for that kind of money. Jeez. Whatever, it's their dough.
To which they say, "Yes, you live in Minnesota!"
Seriously, though, I can't imagine why anyone would buy a place in Manhattan.
I can barely understand why my friends in Manhattan rent there. They pay three times the amount for half the space that I have in Jersey, and it takes me less time to get to the lower half of the city than it takes them.

I actually have seen worse houses in my city.

Cause Manhattan fucking owns. I'd live in the City in a heartbeat, but my wife likes fucking ass Lancaster, Bumfuck, PA
Oh come now. You answered your own question.
No, I'm talking about towns in the Lancaster area that Chaz mentioned. Southeastern PA is like that. Blue Ball, Intercourse, Virginville, all within about 5 miles.

When I worked for a phone company we had a bunch of clients in Blue Ball and Intercourse. Isn't there an big amish community in that area? We had one phone that was literally the only emergency phone in this amish community.
If you read the article, you'd know they change the literbox daily.

I skimmed.
We clean the box all the time too. If they have male cats, they sometimes INTENTIONALLY don't cover their poop and pee to show their dominance. Hard to get away from that in the closet they are living in.

[/QUOTE]Touche.
But even Brooklyn (Park Slope aside) is substantially cheaper than Manhattan, and not necessarily any farther depending on where you're going.

If I had the money I'd live in Manhattan. There's always something to do down there.

I would love to see their parties. It reminds me of an episode of Flight of the Conchords.
At first glance, I misread that as "That's... half the size of my head..."

Well, it is, but I didn't want to engender any jealousy at my huge noggin. It is truly spectacular.

With some more shelves and a built loft over the bed, that place really isn't all that bad. They could even stick a stand up closet next to the bed there. It's kind of dumb that they do use a fold out couch though.
The place is really meant for a single 20 something yuppie though.

Yeah, seriously...
All I can think of is the Waverly Hills episode of the Simpsons after seeing that apartment.
I doubt it is truly the smallest apartment. It is likely the smallest for the price, or the cleanest apartment of that size.

My first thought was of the Elwood's apartment in Blues Brothers.
