Parking spots that cost more than the house

For serious. There are people who will pay $225,000 for a parking spot. Of course, these people are also paying $2.2 million for a 2 bedroom condo. It works out to $1,500/square foot for the parking spot and $1,281/square foot for the condo itself. These numbers do seem a big outrageous to us Midwesterners, perhaps because the exchange rate between NYC and Wisconsin is about 2:1 ($2 in NYC is worth $1 in Wisconsin).

You'll be glad to hear that SCOTUS has sent an emissary, Clarince T, to the dreaded pits of NYC to see if he comes back alive, and, if yes, to report on the crazy conditions there. Then, we'll all sit around drinking some traditional Wisconsin beverages and discuss whether or not to move the court there. The Big T has been feeling a little cooped-up since the 5-4 decision (right before Sammy and Robby) to move SCOTUS to Wisconsin (Ant's dissent was an itemized bill for his moving expenses; what a piece of shit!), and he's trying to convince us that there's proverbial gold in them there smog clouds. The JP is not budging.

The pits are indeed dreadful. The exchange rate is brutal, anyway.

The Honorable Clarince T paid NINE DOLLARS for a six pack of Sam Adams Summer Ale at his friendly local bodega on the corner of 119th and GHET-TO.

(Segue: As you are certainly aware, Clarince T is a staunch supporter of the 1789 rule, hence he will only purchase brewskis which can trace their provenance to a Founding Father.)

Anyhoo. The jury (and by jury I mean me, Clarince T. Factfinder) is still out on whether or not to move the Court to NYC. The unconscionable expense of the necessary judicial lubricants may prove to be prohibitive.

$9? In that case, you got a bargain up there on 119th street. In Tribeca, that six-pack would have cost you $12-$13.

By comparison, in Brooklyn it would run you about $8.50.
