The AP discovers today that real estate is expensive:

Everything about Frank Fazio's new two-bedroom apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side is decidedly average, including its price: a hair under $1 million.

With five rooms and about 1,050 square feet of space, the place is a nice size, by New York standards, but it is no mansion. There are no chandeliers, no soaring cathedral ceilings and no doorman downstairs to help with groceries.

We know this is the opposite of the point we're supposed to take from that, but: He got two bedrooms on the Upper West Side — 1,050 square feet — for under a million?

Must be postwar.
