Have you ever noticed how there are fortune tellers occupying prime storefronts all over the city?  The places with a little chair behind the window and a thick curtain?  I never saw anybody ever go in or out of those places.  I asked a prosecutor friend whether these places are fronts for prostitution or drugs.  Turns out the fortune teller stores are actually being used as homes for entire families.  They cordone off a tiny area for palm-reading and live in rest of the space.  It&#x27;s a really cheap (and super illegal) way for a family to live in Manhattan.
