BrushStart,

Didn't mean to pick on you, since I shake my head in disbelief as well over the high prices that downtown Birmingham living can fetch.

Looking at it a different way... it seems unfathomable that just 1 of those units in that complex cost as much as the entire 16 story former Ritz Carlton in Fairlane Town Center in Dearborn.... a mere $3 million. Think of all the condos that could buy there [[especially with highrise views).

But the truth is Location... Location... Location... It may not always make sense... but some people will ante up the money.
