I dunno. I'm pretty sure that for 1.75 million, I could take something that would make any apartment in NYC a trippy one.

Blues_X		2011-08-04 02:47:15 PM

Why post the article w/o any damned photos of the apartment?

Thanks, I was trying to find some.

Definitely a trippy apartment.

So it's just like a regular apartment but with a whole bunch of garbage glued to the walls?

Like living in a steampunk TGI Fridays.

I enjoyed the picture of the one normal bathroom - because at some point you'll need to convince a woman to live there - or at least sleep there.

If you want to do the nautical theme on the cheap rent a room at the Maritime Hotel, get liquored up, and rock the bed until you heave out the portal windows.

I just spent way too much time looking at crazy apartments on that website, then wasted even more reading about the pretty brokers.

When I used to work down there, the Maritime Hotel was a homeless shelter. They did do a good job with that building.

Yeah, it was Covenant House for runaway kids to be more specific - until they found out the the dude (I think he may have been a cardinal) that was running the place was a pedo.

You are correct. I was trying to remember exactly what it was used for but I couldn't.

Thanks. I can kinda see the look they're going for, but it all just smacks of trying too hard. It would be a fun place to stay for a day or two, but not really a place to live in. YMMV.

Dire		2011-08-04 05:47:01 PM

Holy hell the author was totally talking out of her ass about "Steam Punk" ... or perhaps the broker was talking out of her ass and the author was just repeating it???

"inspired by author William Gibson"?????? ,

"Big in the 1980s and 90s, the Steam Punk movement petered out, but is experiencing a resurgence"??????

Way to confuse cyberpunk with steampunk, jackass!

stoppit		2011-08-04 05:47:49 PM

If I could afford it, I'd still pass. (Thanks to those who posted links to actual pictues of said POS.)

Vorpal		2011-08-04 05:48:36 PM

Even has a screen door like a real submarine

dustlesswalnut		2011-08-04 05:49:04 PM

Wow that's ugly. Also, TFA has no photos and is useless.

Dire		2011-08-04 05:49:16 PM

Anyway, it looks way more like something out of a BBC science fiction series than it does a submarine

brap		2011-08-04 05:52:01 PM

Dear god, that's absolutely hideous. I'd describe the decor as Times Square Cracker Barrel.

For 1.75 million you can live in a T.G.I.Fridays

JonnyBGoode		2011-08-04 06:03:27 PM

In what way is that even remotely "inspired by a submarine"? As for steampunk, I think most self-respecting steampunks would be nauseated at the sight of that mess.

justanotherfarkinfarker		2011-08-04 06:03:37 PM

"Like living in a steampunk TGI Fridays."

Haha, I was just about to say some steampunk jerkoff (yes you're all a bunch of farknuts), liked applebee's too much.

I can't find a Jeremy Noritz on IMDB, so I'm guessing he inherited a lot of money and calls himself a screenwriter because "rich parasite" doesn't work as well with the chicks.

I would not have to deal with New York traffic, New York taxes or New York prices.

godofatheist		2011-08-04 06:16:09 PM

amazing how out of the last 5-10 links of real estate sales like this, none actually go anywhere with a picture of said house. here is a great idea STOP GREENLIGHTING POINTLESS LINKS.

JonnyBGoode: In what way is that even remotely "inspired by a submarine"?

It belongs at the bottom of the ocean?

If you put Sean Connery in it, he would try to defect?

On the inside, there's seamen all over everything?

I can't find a Jeremy Noritz on IMDB, so I'm guessing he inherited a lot of money and calls himself a screenwriter because "rich parasite" doesn't work as well with the chicks.

So what he wrote was probably something like this:

"Dear Dad;
Please send me several million dollars so I can buy an apartment in NYC and glue crap to the walls.

Love Jeremy"

You'd just have to deal with New York mooring fees, winter storage, property tax, annual maintenance and 50 gph fuel consumption, with diesel bought at marina prices.

I miss my boat.

I must be mad.

THIS! I had to reread that a couple times trying to figure out what Gibson might have had to do with any of that.

Kanemano		2011-08-04 06:45:02 PM

only if they throw in the real estate agent

brantgoose		2011-08-04 06:49:11 PM

Living in a submarine in New York City is a nice idea but it's sad that all of your neighbors are under water. I'd sooner live on a floating island over Central Park. The views are magnificent from just above, well, any thing ....

olddinosaur		2011-08-04 06:52:16 PM

Tillmaster:

You would have to deal with marina fees, but you have the option to move at any time; takes about 10 minutes to up anchor and get away. Marinas know this, and keep their fees competitive.

Fuel costs, while high, would not necessarily be worse than New York property taxes. You are also stuck with New York Income Tax, about 10%, and City Income Tax, about 3%. Up anchor and move, and you save all the above. It would probably cost the same, or cheaper.

I am at the point where I think these bad times are permanent, and smart people need to think about being able to bug-out if it gets too hairy.

Here's a picture:

Meh. But what do you expect for a measly $1.75 million in New York City? The average apartment was pushing $1.5 million before the subprime crash.

Yeah it is. Another way to put it, you can could get a very similar boat for a LOT less then 1.75 mil. I looked at one last week, in fact.
