Midgar isn't New York; it's New York built on top of New York. That's where the comparison falls apart. It's not like Midgar bottom property would be equivalent to today's New York.

I always feel like I missed out whenever I read or or see a screenshot of the 'This guy are sick' line. They fixed that for the PAL release so I never understood the joke until only recently.

If I walk in that house and I don't hear Aerith's theme playing I won't buy. It better be playing at all times.
yeah but it's in NEW YORK so that means it's worth a lot

Aeris? Isn't that the pink cat from VG Cats?

I want Shinra Mansion instead, complete with underground lab and Vincent Valentine's crypt. How much would that put me back?
At least we still got Samolen Greens. I remember the joy of those hours. I spent as a kid hunting down every shop in the world, prizes from Gold Saucer and more looking for them to no avail
Yup FF7 original idea was then changed into what we now know as Parisite Eve if i remember correctly.
Dats racist!

Unfortunately, I think this analysis is assuming that Midgar retained NYC's property values in the transition of power from Mayor Bloomberg to its corporate overlords.

Although I'm pretty sure you're just having fun with it, I don't even get how it's still an argument for some folks that "Aeris" wasn't a translation error since Sephiroth has the same character at the end of his name and nobody calls him "Sephiros". Not to mention Aerith is an actual, used in real life first name just as Sephiroth is an accepted translation for Sephirot (a term in Kabbalah). That and every translation since FFVII has since corrected it.
On topic, this dude really went to town on this with the research.

Hah. "FFVIIHD would take 15 years and a 300 million dollar budget"
In the spanish translation he is called "Sefirot" (although that translation is even worse than the english one)

Was that one park meant to be Central Park then?
The same would happen to me if I had to pay so much for a house next to Crackton.
Selling that "white materia."
They're overemphasizing geography a bit, aren't they? There are numerous things about Aerith's neighborhood that distinguish it from Manhattan...
That said, the area may have potential, and Aerith's house has a certain charm to it. Not to mention the incredible garden. As the legend of Aerith spreads, and Shrina's suffocating grip loosens, I can see her home being a huge standout in a significant real estate boom. Chances are it'll be worth quite a bit someday.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
You know if you do this part of the game when controlling Tifa or Cid, the villa gets named after them.It's all about Costa Del Sol baby.
Generation Z. It begins.
There is no correct translation. Her name was intended to be Earth (like Cloud) but someone thought it would be cool to give her an A-E flip to make it sound more magical, so maybe Aerth...
Her Japanese name was Romanized to "Aerith" in some Japanese materials by a Japanese person who might not have known any English, so an army of weeaboo fanboys went on a misguided war against the game's localization, and the current Square gave in to their demands.
In the absence of a truly correct translation, procedure is often to stick with the established mistake, otherwise you're just trading one mistake for another.
