How many freakin' hot dogs was this guy selling in order to pay the "rent" on a piece of sidewalk?

NEW YORK – Homeowners aren't the only ones in hot water over overpriced real estate. A New York City hot dog vendor has been evicted from his prize spot outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art because he couldn't pay a whopping rent bill of nearly $54,000 a month.
Snack cart owner Pasang Sherpa of Queens had a deal with the city's parks department that required him to pay almost $643,000 per year for the vending rights near the museum steps.
He says he was $310,000 behind on his payments when he was evicted.
The Parks Department had auctioned off the rights to the spot last year.

Must be the "condiments" he was selling on the side!

Wow he would have to do $1800 a day just to pay his rent, that does not include his inventory. I would guess Average sale would be $7.50 on the high side Dog, Chips, Pop.

So figure cost on that at $2.00 so he is making $5.50 on each sale after product cost. In order just to pay the rent he would have to have 327.2 sales a day. I can't picture that.

That's just obscenely outrageous that he's being charged that much for a piece of sidewalk. I'd definitely be trying to find somewhere else. There is no way a hot dog vendor could make that much anywhere.

That's just crazy, I honestly had no idea that food vendors like that had to pay rent, let alone the insanity of the prices! New York sucks big time, how can anyone make a living with taxes ("rent") that high?

That is exactly what happens in liberal areas, just look at CA.

Who is the bigger idiot, the city for charging it, or the vendor for thinking he could pay it?
