Carved from leftover space in the top floor of an apartment in NYC. Sold to an auditor / accountant couple in 2009 for USD $150,000. Would you consider this type of accomodation if you are a young professional in a big city?

i believe many have seen these photos. must property owner treat human like 'not human'? even animal got animal rights like dog/cat cage cannot be too small or not too many dog/cat in a cage must property owner partition their unit from 1-to-2, 2-to-4, 4-to-8 to squeeze every drop of the blood out from tenant? is this govt fault? when i read the news, the tenant commented that if govt crack down these ruthless property owner, current tenant will be homeless and sleep on the streets or under the bridges, actually become worst? and they cannot afford any 'decent' place to stay. these cramped apartment is 1-level up (luxury) compare to cage-house sad ... really sad. http://www.petapixel.com/2013/02/19/crampe...directly-above/ http://cagehouse.blog.com/2011/11/19/hong-...cost-a-fortune/

One was the senior. The other the junior. But the two men behaved less like superior and subordinate and more like comrades-in-crime. During the period when Koh Seah Wee, 41, and Lim Chai Meng, 38, worked together to defraud their employer, the Singapore Land Authority (SLA), they were so close they even went to a property viewing together to decide on whether to invest some of their ill-gotten gains in a condominium apartment each. Koh was then a deputy director and Lim a manager in the statutory board's information technology department. RELATED STORIES * Former SLA officers plead guilty in $12m fraud case * Ex-SLA exec accused of cheating Supreme Court * Duo allegedly cheat SLA of $11.8m * Lamborghini in SLA cheating case sold * 2 SLA officers on probe for $11.8m fraud Yesterday, Koh pleaded guilty to 46 cheating charges and nine money laundering charges involving the SLA and the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (Ipos). He admitted to another 317 similar charges, which will be taken into consideration during sentencing. Lim pleaded guilty to 40 counts of conspiring to cheat the SLA, one count of cheating a finance company and eight counts of money laundering. He also admitted to another 260 similar charges, which will be taken into consideration during sentencing. They might have been close when defrauding their employer, but yesterday, it was clear in court that the duo were no longer chums. Even though they sat less than a metre apart, they barely glanced at each other. Instead, they left it to their lawyers - Mr Ravinderpal Singh for Koh; Mr Subhas Anandan and Mr Sunil Sudheesan for Lim - to push the blame around. The court heard that Koh and Lim, together with seven other accomplices, bled the SLA of about $12.2 million more than two years. Of that amount, about 15 per cent ($1.87 million) went to Lim while more than 70 per cent or ($8.54 million) went to Koh, said Lim's lawyers, Mr Subhas Anandan and Mr Sunil Sudheesan. The remainder was channelled to the other accomplices in the conspiracy. Two have since been jailed. http://news.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNew...030-307747.html
