Some people get off on watching media in which other humans engage in sexual activity. I don't make judgements about this sort of thing. Though I frankly prefer that sort of activity with another person in the room (preferably actively engaged), I will admit to having seen this sort of thing before.
I, however, love to get excited about something else: Surfing the web for real estate I will likely never be able to afford.
To that end, I subscribe to a couple real estate sites' e-mail newsletters – the type in which search results from the sites appear in your e-mail inbox on a daily basis.
I love this concept, since it means my real estate porn can be delivered to me with minimal effort.
These e-mails usually have enough new listings to pique my interest – there's almost always something new to look at and stoke my breaking of that commandment related to covetousness.
Every once in a while, one of the real estate sites will just get it in its head to really push a particular property. Such is the case, lately, with Prudential's Douglas Elliman agency. This particular listing has been at the top of their daily real estate porn e-mail every day for as long as it's been on the market. I've lost track of how long it's been, but it's gotten to the point where I can't remember not seeing it there.
I'm not sure why this thing isn't selling, but I've got a theory. Take a look at the living room photos on the listing. Any one thinking about purchasing the place must immediately think, "I don't wanna live in the freakin' Taj Mahal."
