I read this a few days ago and got some nice Schadenfreude out of it. Billionaires overpaying for shitty apartments, and experiencing what 'normal' people have to endure all the time.
She’s aware that the plight of billionaires won’t garner much sympathy, but says she is speaking out on principle.
“Everything here was camouflage,” she said. “If I knew then what I know now, I would have never bought.”
They could've settled with in some 'less expensive' building, but chose one that that wasn't even finished; great thinking. Yeah, no real sympathy there, unless they continue and rally for better tenants' rights for the rest of us.
I laughed out loud at the part where they explain they got around the height limits by just building certain floors with ridiculously tall ceilings. Also very funny that this gross monument to excess is having so many structural issues. Who could have foreseen an extremely tall building having problems with swaying in the wind?
