什么叫“最佳邻居”？钱不是万能的。

你有钱？人家不缺钱！

看看人家怎么定义“最佳邻居”。嘿嘿

In today's housing market, good deals are waiting to be had. But for one New York co-op, a $31.5 million bid wasn't even enticing enough to merit an interview with the potential tenant.

The prospective buyer also happens to be the Prime Minister of Qatar, Sheik Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. He made an offer to purchase and convert two apartments in the co-op belonging to the late heiress Huguette Clark.

NBC News reports that the apartments cover about 10,000 square feet and are located on the 8th floor of the luxury co-op at 907 Fifth Avenue, at East 72nd Street, on the east side of Central Park.

And while Clark's estate approved of the sale, the building's co-op reportedly decided against even interviewing the sheik over concerns such a high-profile resident would affect the building's "quiet character." In addition, the board was apparently concerned about the sheik's plans for extensive construction to join the two apartments into one living space.

As NBC notes, Clark was the "perfect neighbor." At least for those who think the perfect neighbor is someone who is never actually at home. The heiress passed away in 2011 at the age of 104 after spending the past 20 years living in New York City hospitals.


Still, it's not like the prime minister will be homeless. His cousin, Qatar's hereditary ruling leader Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, lives down the block. And the prime minister himself is also the owner of a 436-foot yacht, Al-Mirqab, which reportedly cost several hundred million dollars.

波士顿的公共公园附近也有一些类似的豪华公寓，那里的房主们好像也是处在一定的co-op下。 那些公寓不是你有钱就可以买下的, 必须经过co-op的批准。 一般情况下，房主了解co-op的标准，所以如果不符合标准，再高的出价也不会被接受的。

N年前，米国报业大王之一的千金要在NYC买这么一单元，也被拒绝，据说骨子里的理由是她看房子时带上了她的黑人男友。

当年尼克松下台后想在NYC买这么一单元，也遭拒绝，据说理由是其他业主不愿意有FBI出入。下台总统依然有FBI保安。

这回是否同买主是阿拉伯大员有关，不得而知。
虽说他从兄弟在NYC有楼，可能是9·11以前买下的。此一时、彼一时。

你好像老是在雅虎上看新闻。没怎么见你从其他地方转贴啊。雅虎是个逐渐式微的公司。

因为邮箱在雅虎上。查邮件顺便就看新闻了。
邮箱是雅虎兴旺之时开的，要改的话，太麻烦，搞不好就把老关系搞丢了。



不喜欢gmail，竟然强迫让你看广告。很霸道。嘿嘿

而且广告是有针对性的。也就是说，古狗在监视你的网上活动，甚至偷看你的邮件！或者至少是合法地看你的邮件subject
即使合法，也很不是东西！


新闻从哪儿看来的都一样，不同的只是评述。俺不怎么看人家的评述。嘿嘿

我没说。
不过，俗话说：抓贼见脏，捉奸在床。
至少雅虎没让我看见。眼不见、心不烦。
