Gosh. The more I look at the rents and what you get for the money in the US, the more I realise how insane our local real estate market is. A house like Tony's in Trinidad will cost about US$400,000 and up depending and will not have as much yard space either.
Small, two bedroom apartments are going for US$1700 + and those are not done by Interior Architects and don't show fine design sensibilities at all. I looked at a real estate website for Miami Florida, on some of those Islands and US$2,500.00 got you a fantastic apartment on one of the upper floors with proper designed rooms, lovely tile floors and a gorgeous kitchen and two bathrooms. Something like that here costs about US$3500 to US$4500 a month in one of our 'towers'. GAH!!! Why does living on a damned island COST so much!??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:252168 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
