Cape Town claims 3rd spot on Monopoly board

[Von Tonner]

Cape Town will be among the more expensive cities in the Monopoly Here and Now World Edition Game board, coming in ahead of cities such as New York (10), Sydney (11) Rome (14) and Barcelona (19).
Representing the most expensive properties however are the Canadian city of Montreal and Latvia’s capital city, Riga, who claimed the top two spots.
The developers of Monopoly, Hasbro Inc, launched a global online voting campaign in January this year that, for the first time, would allow fans to decide which cities appeared on the legendary board game.
Cape Town was among 70 world-class cities competing for a top 20 place.
According to Hasbro, more than 5.6 million votes were cast over the course of the six week voting campaign.

I don't think there is a more expensive place than NY, so this is interesting.
