I have a niche skill set and there are fewer jobs like mine outside of NYC. Been trying forever to branch out and move somewhere cheaper.

I Work For The MTA So I Can't Go Anywhere Else And Make This Kinda Money I Ain't Tryna Live In Jersey Either And Take On Even More Expenses

Me And My Girl Got A Nice Nest Egg So I'm Hoping We Can Get A Decent Condo Or CoOp, The shyt Has To Be Really Nice Though, That's My Plan

Nope, like I said you just Gotta be patient and look everyday, deals are out there. Plus my landlord knocked 100 off the rent if we signed a 2 year lease

No we justify it by stating the fact incomes and career opportunities are greater in the north east and west coast compared to the rest of the country. Now if your have a career getting by on the balls of your ass and that job can easily be had elsewhere, then maybe you should go elsewhere

fukking mets fans are the worst

1500 for a one bedroom is fine for me in Forest Hills.

New Yorkers move to the Carolinas and Florida and then complain how it ain't new York...


Why don't new yorkers move to Chicago? It has a lot of similar qualities with a much cheaper price

 

[DonRe]

2k rent? Even if split that's still too high.. Y'all better off moving to a different part of the city or copping a house outside of NYC.

Nah we both work in the city and are expecting and are only staying close for family and work. Yea its high but we dont plan on paying that for long. We plan on buying a house in 2 years or so.

I'll be honest I'm not sure I would live what would constitute the suburbs. Definitely not in these cookie cutter style suburbs where all the houses are the same these days.

I'm a nature guy and love some isolation so probably something that would more constitute the country or rural area. I lived in some apartments that were odd and situated in this sort of area by its lonesome and just being outside where it's quiet and you can smell the trees and see all types of wildlife from deer, wild turkey, etc. is something I'm determined to make part of my permenant living arraignment. Not sure if areas like this outside of NYC exist.

fukk you nikka your avi made me hungry

Nah we good. Plus in Florida and the Carolinas the real estate market is ripe for the taking since its cheap. There is alot of land and money in the south's real estate market compared to chicago.
