Guarantee it's the Transplants that come from out of state. See it all the time
Renting out a $1700 apartment cause they too niave to understand where to look, and want to "live it up"
Most of them move without understanding the NYC job market, then end up working 2 full time retail jobs, 16 hr shifts, making $750 a week
Good, hope they leave. And stay out!!!
Wouldn't say transplants exactly. It's that most of these folks spent all their life in a one family home in the suburbs types that have no clue what it's like to live in an apartment or below their means. It's a huge adjustment. That's why you have these folks ready to have a bunch of roommates and all this extra shyt that makes no sense. Is it really worth moving backwards just to say that they're in NYC or whatever?
I couldn't live like that. Most of these folks doing that did that dorm room shyt in college. Obviously those that are doing aren't planning on raising a family because having an apartment for themselves or the very least sharing it with one other person is a strange concept. It's crazy that folks are willing to pay over a thousand to share an apartment with some other people. That's a huge no.
nikkas like waiting for shyt to happen to them instead of being proactive. My grandmother and grandfather worked to buy a house over 30 years ago. Now the mortgage is about paid off and she's retired and has a nice nest egg even without selling the house in Brooklyn.
My mom didn't follow in those steps. She's almost 50 and still doesn't even have a driver license much less own a house. She even mentions regretting not buying in Harlem when the city was basically giving away brownstones in the 90s.
nikkas don't want to plan beyond next week much less 30 years from now. Like what direction the economy is heading in, what jobs will be relevant in 5-10 years, which will be irrelevant?
Racist practices put black folks 3 feet down and our own poor planning has puts us down another 3 feet where we are subject to the changes of outside factors.
Chinatown is largely still China Town. Borough Park, Williamsburg and the Jewish sections of Crown heights are still just that. They own their shyt and are less subject to gentrification. Black folks have been renting for too long.
On a flip, the reality is the folks that are still here can't compete for the jobs that come to the city. There are jobs and there is money to be made hence the huge population increase in NYC over the last decade. NY is not a manufacturing blue collar state anymore and hasnt been for awhile. Finance, tech and fields like that are where the money is. Locals will move down south because there is more low skilled work with a low cost of living.
NYC is just ahead of the curve. nikkas in cities like Dallas, Atlanta, etc will be next. Y'all need to focus on acquiring skills that will translate 5-10-20 years from now so you don't end up like those coal miners in WV voting for Trump thinking he's going to bring back coal mines
You really want 70% of the general population starving to death because they dont have the "right" job skills? Better to go after elected oficials and LOWER the cost of living.

70% is a stretch.
Besides You have to adapt and not everyone will. The only thing that will lower the cost of living is an economic collapse and subsequent high crime.
Y'all can sit and hope politicianswill do something or you can come to reality
It's supply and demand.
Once I can't afford to live in NYC anymore boubt come though North Carolina like
Do it. My dad was just bragging to me about how cheaper his property taxes were in North Carolina compared to the property taxes he’s paying on his two houses in Michigan.

Pass me the rock nikka
Good idea breh
That Ronald Reagan mentality is why conditions continue to get worse overall. "Leaving behind" people is just anaother way of you wanting to get rid of the "undesirables" for corporate demand
It's not just the rent, the general vibe of the city is hopeless. Like, there's so much money that you have to spend to keep yourself sane. And the people and environment change dramatically every year. And that's not to mention that the city dies four months out of the year during the cold months. The fact of the matter is that anyone moving into the city, outside of recent college grads, will actually experience a substantial net drop in quality of life.

Best post in this thread.
This is not a NYC problem, it’s a cities problem.
Moving to Dallas, Houston,Atlanta etc is cool and all, but don’t think people who are low skill workers will find better options in those places.
Even people who are higher wage earners may find out it really ain’t that much cheaper down here. Especially if you want to live in the city and not the burbs.
