Luxury in name only as a lot of comments point out, it's like putting "organic" on a bag of lettuce it somehow makes it 25-35% more expensive

yeah, they build a lot of those too, like those "luxury" skyscraper apartments in NYC that cost the earth and have low ceilings and cramped corridors. but i bet the actual elite of NYC lives in really nice old world apartments

Yeah most “luxury” apartments have paper thin walls and broken pipes because they were put up at hyper speed

"Luxury" apartments have corners cut left and right. They also add nonsense like the "trash valet" that never comes.

I literally tried to explain this to someone in this thread but they had their head up their ass. The truly wealthy have apartments in NYC, sure, but comparing those kind of apartments to "luxury" apartments is like comparing a low end Lexus to a high end Aston Martin lmao.

Except Lexus is made by Toyota so they’re actually good cars
