I think the NY Times wants us to feel sorry for this woman.
Her name is Leslie Williams and she and her husband bought an apartment in Manhattan a couple of years ago for over $2 million and then proceeded to pour beaucoup bucks (half a milion bucks) into a renovation. They moved in a few days before Christmas 2007 and two weeks later her husband moved out. Their marriage and the renovation were over as far as he was concerned.
Well, as fate would have it neither one of them could afford the place on their own, so it's been sold for just about its asking price of $2.6 million.
It's hard to tell from the tone of the article whether Ms. Williams thinks the most tragic event was losing the apartment or her marriage.
It's really hard for me to work up a whole lot of sympathy for people like her. There are people who can't make the mortgages on their basic hovels for instance.
I certainly wish her well, but please, NY Times, can you at least try to get your priorities in order?
