Talk:List of most expensive streets by city

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Articles for deletion This article was nominated for deletion on 10 March 2007. The result of the discussion was no consensus.


I have concerns about this article - what does it mean to say that a street is the most expensive in a city? Are there any reliable sources to cite to support all of this? It strikes me as unencyclopedic, but perhaps there's a way to support it that will make it work. --TheOtherBob 21:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


Thanks for wondering! I'm not finished with the article; the sources, what the article means etc. it will all be clear when the article's finished. --User:FisssUser talk:Fisss 10:07, 18 February 2007 (CET)

I have concerns also and have tagged this as needing references. Unless someone beats me it'll be tagged for deletion in a few days time without some reference material and context. BTW, you have Victoria Avenue in Perth, Western Australia listed. Its an unremarkable main street in the CBD and would be surprised if it was the most expensive. Hence, we need to see your source. —Moondyne 05:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
ok, thanks, I forgot to write that it's Victoria Ave in Dalkeith :P --User:FisssUser talk:Fisss 21:35, 9 March 2007 (CET)

[edit] East Lake Shore Drive, more so than North Lake Shore Drive

While North Lake Shore Drive is pretty swank, Chicagoans consider East Lake Shore Drive addresses to be the most prestigious. East Lake Shore Drive is very similar to London's Kensington Palace Gardens in concept - it's very short (approximately 1000 feet long) and, by Chicago standards, astronomically priced (a 3-bedroom, 3-bath co-op is currently listed for $9.2 million...a parking space was recently listed for $193,000), and exclusive (only 4 units have been listed for sale within the last 4 years).

North Lake Shore Drive, on the other hand, is a mixture of condo high-rises (both vintage & new-construction), office buildings, Northwestern Memorial Hospital and part of Grant Park. It's still pretty pricey, but not nearly as much as East Lake Shore Drive (you can get a brand new 3-bedroom/3-bath condo on North Lake Shore Drive, just around the corner from East Lake Shore Drive, for well under $1 million).

That said, I dig this list...it's a great way to pass the time on a boring Friday afternoon at work! -Rhrad 19:41, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orange, Australia?????

Why on earth is Orange included on this page? It is not a capital city, it has a population of 40,000.

[edit] Criteria for inclusion

What are the criteria for inclusion in this list? To avoid listcruft, these need to be defined - Tiswas(t) 11:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

There needs to be sources for all of these claims. If sources are not provided, the entries should be removed. Corvus cornix 21:46, 28 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Vancouver/West Vancouver

The reference link for Radcliffe Ave in West Vancouver (formerly listed as Vancouver) does not mention the street. If nobody can provide the correct source I would change it into "citation needed".--Vancouver robin 22:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
