this is a nice enough LES renovation project. but whats seriously missing are the real numbers. just how much does a 1,400 sf condo (in somewhat rough condition) on the corner of eldridge and rivington cost these days? then add in the $50,000.00 reno/furniture budget. so much for starving artists.

"They had Five-Year plans. We had the New Deal. They had the White Sea Canal. We had the Boulder Dam. They had forced collectivization. We had dust bowls. They had state-sponsored Socialist Realist photography. We had the photographic realism of the Farm Security Administration. They had Alexander Rodchenko, Boris Ignatovich, Elizar Langman and Arkady Shaikhet. We had Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee, Ben Shahn and Walker Evans."
