Down here they're selling rack storage (same approximate dimensions)
for $160k+...and then charging a $225/month condo fee. And that's for
a soon-to-be-built facility that will take an hour to idle to the gulf.



Unbelievable. Are folks actually buying those rack storage slots (with
an additional $2,700/year for the *privilege* of doing so)?



Every other con man in the United States must be working that turf.


Based on the prices of the houses NOYB reports......it looks so. ;-)


I almost bought a 35'x10' rack storage for $70,000 about 4 1/2 years ago.
The condo fee was an additional $110/mo. I backed out of the deal after
9/11 when the economy went flat. Instead, I bought a house on the water in
March, 2004. In retrospect, it would have been a lot cheaper to buy that
slip...but the ten foot beam would have limited me to only a handful of 30'
boats (unless they employed an extremely skilled forklift operator).
