It might be your neighborhood Bridge but living or owning a business that close to it, and with THAT stunning view, can't be cheap.
Manhattan Skyline and Brooklyn Bridge
Joint Second place September 2022 Winner: Beautiful Capture of Week-34 Contest of the Beautiful Capture Group; congratulations.
On the Brooklyn Bridge, New York City. Have tried a different 'look' for this shot courtesy of Adobe Photoshop Express. Thoughts please!
mid-late 1990's, Bell merged with Verizon in 2000 so it's before that. The bridge was still often fairly empty at times, until later.
Something from the archives. One exposure using the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 (produces great looking light stars).

The big lightning storm that had slammed into lower Manhattan was now moving across the East River and into Brooklyn. I ran to a vantage point of the bridge, and set up quickly so as not to miss this rare opportunity. It was a natural fireworks display just a couple of weeks after the Brooklyn Bridge's anniversary pyrotechnic display.
I stood on the Manhattan side of the East River, which remained eerily calm, shooting continuously for the next 15 minutes. My camera was getting hot to the touch. I couldn't stop to check exposures, framing or even focus, as if I did, I knew I'd miss the most perfect lightning during those precious seconds! As it was, I missed a disturbing number of the best lightning bolts, which perversely kept exploding during the milliseconds between shutter releases. So I drew on all I have learned from previous night photography, and just kept going nonstop without checking what I was shooting, hoping for the best.
Finally the show wound down, and I went off to meet my wife. She hadn't heard the thunder, old New York buildings have thick walls!
The next morning I got up early and sold usage rights for this one to the Daily News, where it ran as a color spread in their Tuesday edition.
