Six Reasons I Should Leave The City

I go through spits and starts telling me I should leave New York City. Occasionally the destination in question is Boston, sometimes it’s Charlotte, for about an hour on leap day it was London — but usually it’s just back home. Sure, we may have come across as a little sketchy when Steve Carrell came to visit. But really, I honestly enjoy actual doses of nature instead of rigorously regulated blocks of nature.

When I was home last weekend, I discovered that one of my top five favorite upstate homes are for sale. I found it on Keller Williams’ website

1) The house comes pre-installed with an 800 square foot Man Room in the basement. The pre-installed man room is 50 square feet bigger than my apartment.

2) The house is surrounded by a wrought-iron fence anchored into stone pillars. Handy for keeping out both the riff and the raff.

3) The three acres of land sits directly on the Hudson River. I could, theoretically, create a slip and slide that goes directly into the river.

4) The house has 10 rooms. I could have a room just for my beer.

5) The estimated price on nearly 10 times the square footage with 3 acres of riverfront estate on a 30 year fixed mortgage works out to be a little less than $100 more than my current rent.

6) A 173-year-old house is almost certainly haunted and full of secret passageways.

The city is stupid. It would be really hard to turn that house down if I put in a bid for like $375k and they said yes.

    A baller like you should be able to afford that. Especially if you don’t pay your taxes on it…
