Not being from NYC (although I have visited), I don't know how the apartment thing works there. Does one have to buy the right to rent an apartment
there from the previous tenent?

Since there are no houses in the city the commoners were convinced a long time
ago that buying a little apartment in a big building was the thing to do.
Intellegent New Yorkers still buy houses in the city called brownstones. They
cost a pile of money but at least you still own your own house.

Doesn't this mean "Condominium"? What's the difference between buying a condo and buying an
apartment?

You only own shares in a co-op. Condo is better because you have more legal
rights as to how you can modify the space...in most cases.

co-ops are an issue of the long ago past. they still exist, but for all
practical purposes are like buggy whips.

New one.

What effect would it have on the USA as a whole if NYC was utterly destroyed
by terrorist WMDs?

What about DC?

Think carefully ....

Yup, by the IRS. Interest on the mortgage is deductable, rent is not, making
it wise to buy and pay interest vs rent.
