Five years ago, Eric Kabakoff and Christina Lewandowski bought a one-bedroom in a new condominium in Gowanus, Brooklyn, with the idea of moving to a two-bedroom in the same building after a while. But two years ago, when they were outbid on two apartments there, the couple realized their $750,000 budget was not going to be enough.

if you're spending 800K for a Gowanus 2BR in a new apartment complex the faucets should dispense delicious strawberry milkshakes at the very least

$800k for an apartment with a dedicated strawberry milkshake line already installed seems like a good deal. Sure, you'll save money if you buy a house without a milkshake line and install it yourself but not everybody has time for that.

I just watched a Property Brothers where they were renovating an old home to redo the kitchen to get rid of the outdated granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances and install marble counters and a solid gold stove, and they added a milkshake line while they were at it, but discovered that the wiring for the robot butler had to be completely redone. They had to sacrifice upgrading the servants quarters from a hole in the floor to a flush toilet to make room in the budget. It was a nightmare.
