I think it was a typo

    Richard Russell's Observations

    Posted by padraigm on 18th of Aug 2009 at 09:15 am

    My folks rented a place in NYC in 1940 for $40 a month.

    Assume $27.50 a month.

    Russell is 84. We can cut him some slack!

    Typo is correct

    I'm sure he meant $27.50 a month.  No ordinary place rented for $275 a month in that time period.
