Ja.  So is New York inherently better than West Palm Beach Florida because of geography?  And really where I am going with this: Is Florida a viable alternative to New York for the financial hub of the USA?  If I can convince myself that it is, I am compelled to hold the Florida property for now.  

Power corrupts.  The New York Attorney General was handed the power to seize property for overestimating its value, even after the entire loan was paid off and the bank showed up assuring the court that it lost no money.  The "crime" had no victims.  But New York could seize every building forming the skyline by that reasoning, cram it with homeless people.
