Remember that circular apartment building from a few weeks ago?

Well, it makes me want to leave New York.

Makes me want to have $300,000 first, of course, but then I'd consider leaving. Read below from the NYT:

In New York a small apartment can run you well over $1 million. And it just sits there. For about $300,000 you could be living in Suite Vollard, an apartment building in Curitiba, Brazil, where each of the 11 floors is a 3,000-square-foot apartment that rotates on command, at adjustable speeds and in either direction. (The bathrooms and kitchens are housed in a fixed core, as are the fireplaces.) João Carlos Peters, the marketing director of the company that built Suite Vollard, said it is the only building in the world where each floor can spin independently.
