I have a friend who owned a gorgeous 1000 square foot 1 bedroom apt. in the Galaxy (Guttenberg, NJ) and worked in the wholesale fashion industry. After losing her umpteenth job, she sold her place for a song in a bad market and ran back home to York, PA. It slowly drove her nuts so she transferred her ad-sales job to Manhattan and rented a cute, tiny studio on E. 85th . After about 5 years she lost THAT job and packed in the now $1800 studio and ran back to Lancaster, PA. and retired in a nice(I hear) townhouse for $950. Lancaster is driving her bonkers.
Last I spoke with her she wants back into Manhattan.
Without a lottery win, or an inheritance (Mom is pushing 100) I do not see how this is possible.
Wait until she starts researching housing prices here.
Interesting....keep us posted

I should have bouight her Guttenberg condo but it came with a $1400 HOA AND Real Estate taxes. I think those "extra costs" kept down the sales price.
But it was a spectacular apartment in a spectacular complex. https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en...oiowCnoECAwQBg

Do you mean lottery win as in MegaMillions/Powerball or NYC Housing Connect? I've done both and I think I have a better shot at MegaMillions/Powerball. My lowest log number so far is 14,404..... .
