That much for a two bedroom apartment not including HOA dues and parking? You have to deal with homeless people, vagrants, panhandlers, downtown traffic and your friends have nowhere to park when they visit. I just don't get who has the money to pay $500-$1M for these and what exact value they see in them. Who exactly buys these damn things? $500k for a loft?

It's akin to driving a car you don't think you can afford at the dealership. You give it a try, like it, and do everything you can to afford it.
