For example, Pure House at 151 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg promises to “curate” and “bring together like-minded people,” according to Curbed. Now, that’s what co-op buildings have always promised. But if you can’t get passed the Dakota’s interview, Pure House offers a much cheaper alternative, although it still isn’t cheap – ironic.

Besides the nine fully-furnished apartments in the building, “benefits” include dinner parties, music nights, “sober morning raves,” yoga, a clubhouse, large communal tables, massages and meditation. The cost: $4,000 a month. [Curbed]Christopher Cameron
