Rent This Boston Townhouse for Only $40,000 a Month

This restored property in Beacon Hill costs as much as renting an average house for a year.

There must be a point when one becomes so rich that something happens neurologically to cause the eyes to stop registering zeros. How else to explain the existence of this townhouse for rent in Beacon Hill, which is on the market for $40,000 a month?

That's by no means the highest rental in the land. In Manhattan, last year, a four-bedroom pad was going for $165,000 a month. But they're crazy over there. What excuse does solid ol' Boston have for harboring this (admittedly swanky) black hole for cash?
