Erm, things *have* cooled off here a bit
Housing prices have dropped about 10% since 9/11.
The apartments haven't gotten larger though. :-(
But there is one thing I will admit. Elsewhere the world simply isn't as walkable as NYC. Within a 5 minute stroll I will have a Starbucks, Borders, movie theater, choice of pharmacies, choice of (small) supermarkets, choice of fitness clubs, and several decent bars, delis, restaurants, etc.
Now back to your wife, good luck on her graduate work, and may she stop at a reasonable number of degrees! :-)
Cheers,
Ben
