One could argue that if you can afford this, you would be chauffered about in your limo.  But, I would imagine someone would want to park their Bentley/Lambo, etc nearby...and w/ a basement, I'm not seeing underground parking.<br><br>Maybe there's street parking out front (LOL)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 19th 2008 1:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Forstmann Mansion, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/19/forstmann-mansion-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/19/forstmann-mansion-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[this is a great house on a great street.  I think it will take a while to sell, but the price won't move a lot.  As for parking, New Yorkers are used to having their cars in garages, usually less than two blocks from where you live.  Rosen can surely afford that, although some garages charge more than some rents elsewhere in the country--our parking spot cost nearly $600.00 a month.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[just me]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 19th 2008 1:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Forstmann Mansion, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/19/forstmann-mansion-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/19/forstmann-mansion-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[have to ask not being a new yorker... people really have this much in real estate but not have attached parking?  what about security?  even with that kind of money I can't imagine you'd want a driver escort every time you go out...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kelly]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 19th 2008 10:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Forstmann Mansion, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/19/forstmann-mansion-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/19/forstmann-mansion-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[The first two posters obviously are not from the city and not familiar with the real estate market here.

Of course, newer high risers have underground parking and you just take the elevator to your garage, but private parking in a single family home--rare indeed.  <br><br>Security, not too many NYers are worried about security to and from their home--you'd never be able to get around.  Event the Duchess of York who now calls Park Avenue home doesn't have a security detail in NY.<br><br>Drivers, well yes, people have drivers but often it's more a car service chartered by the day, week or month.  And it's a town car or G500 or even an Escalade (horror).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[just me]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2008 10:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Forstmann Mansion, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/19/forstmann-mansion-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/19/forstmann-mansion-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[PTG: I am familiar enough to know a 80 million dollar apartment just came off the market along with a 75 million dollar one and a 70 million dollar one because they would not sell. Familiar enough to know a 55 million dollar apartment was just reduced to 38 million. What am I not grasping here. Granted the owner may not come down to 45 but I doubt he will get 75 million for an apartment that needs work done on it. :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[zoey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 23rd 2008 10:17AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
