A Trash Can In The Sky
Billionaires' Row, New York City
As a sweet sixteen birthday gift, Emma’s father gifted her an apartment in the famous 432 Park Avenue tower on Billionaire’s Row. Despite the astronomical price and prestige, the tower is plagued by issues such as leaks, creaky walls, and broken elevators. Although the view across Manhattan is breathtaking, Emma quickly became annoyed with these issues and argued with her father that “taller does not mean better”. In response, her father told her that she was spoiled and ungrateful. It was one of the reasons she decided to leave New York City, sick of living in what she called “a trash can in the sky”.
