Population density in the US is such that there are huge areas of the country where your nearest neighbor might be miles away.  Cost of living is generally lower in the middle of the country.  Yet an empty lot in Manhattan, zoned for residential use & located in a landmarked district — restricting what can be put there — which just happens to be where a guy committed suicide by blowing up the entire building that once stood there, is getting offers at an $8 million asking price.

Eh, I was born & raised in “flyover country”.  This just looks dumb to me off instinct alone.
