🌱 Sunset Park Daily: The New Kittens On The Block + Who's Hiring

Hey, Sunset Park! Diane Witek here with everything you need to know to get this Tuesday started off right.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and breezy. High: 73, low: 55.

Here are the top stories in Sunset Park today:

1. Sunset Park area pets waiting to be adopted: Meet Mackerel, Tiger and more. It is raining kittens in the Sunset Park area shelters; one is cuter than the other. If you cannot adopt, think of fostering a pet. Either way, you will be welcoming unconditional love into your heart and home. (Sunset Park Patch)
2. Who's hiring in and around Sunset Park? The list of openings is long this week! Here are a few of the latest job openings in the area, compiled by Patch and ZipRecruiter. (Sunset Park Patch)
3. According to the Zumper New York City Metro Area Report released this week, "one-bedroom and two-bedrooms in the city rose 38 percent and 36 percent, respectively, in the past year," according to the study. If you are looking for something cheaper, you may have to move to New Jersey. (Patch)

Are you a Sunset Park resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can’t afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2 percent when inflation is >3 percent
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164 percent (1995-2021)

To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Sunset Park Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
