nymag.com — You can’t live in New York—arguably, you can’t spend an hour in New York—and remain oblivious to the machinery of profit pumping away under every surface. This city makes money, loses money, houses money; lately, with luxe condos stacking up like casino chips along the waterfront, the city looks like money.

@kernelhappyThey buy the medallion so they can bank on it in a couple of years when they can sell it for thousands more than what they paid for it. The yearly income from the cab will just feed their family until that time.

PatoLucas makes a good point, actually. I highly doubt cash tips are reported as income by cab drivers.

@kernelhappy (#7062607)The medallion was an investment. The article stated that a medallion had recently sold for $600k. The driver had purchased his medallion for $190k, so besides being the only way to own your own cab it is also a sound business investment.

@DestroyPoseurs (#7060184)"reasonably pure" there is no such thing anymore! Why do you think Keith Richards quit doing drugs. It wasn't for health reasons, it was for quality issues!

I wanna know how much the average bum makes... the ones outside times square. And how much the performers in the subways make, like midget michael jackson.

I want to be a drug dealer when I grow up. And own a drug store.
