What's embarrassing about asking if you rather have cheaper gas or expensive?For the record, that gas analogy is embarrassing
I'm embarrassed to have entered this thread and read those posts. Cringe worthy. Holy shyt.
Cheaper rent or expensive
Cheaper same food or expensive
You're another NY idiot

In my own league.
I couldn't imagine living in NYC unless I was VERY well off with comfortable income.
I'm from California. And you're really comparing GASOLINE to rent in the biggest most popular city in the entire country, arguably the world
I'm sure you factored in all the things that go into what determines housing costs, like the fact that there no new land to build on, property taxes, construction costs, population size and competition for housing (available housing has not kept up with growth in population) aka supply and demand. Or even how the high cost of real estate affects other things such as stores and restaurants. Or 48849484 other things
And your analogy after taking in all these socioeconomic factors was to compare it to gasoline.
You're fukkin DUMB. I'm not saying that to offend or insult you, calling you a piece of dog shyt would be offending you but I'm not doing that. I'm telling you that you're fukkin STUPID and I'm hoping you realize this, offer everyone an apology who was exposed to your shytty posts and try to become a better person after this.

So because gas is cheaper its to pay to more?I'm from California. And you're really comparing GASOLINE to rent in the biggest most popular city in the entire country, arguably the world

This is about paying more for the same regardless if it's a fukking 20oz coke bottle
Not worth it anymore.
Saving money and being frugal is crucial at this point, so residing in nyc is a non-starter unless Im raking in over 150K annually. Other wise Id be husling backwards just to say I live in new york.
I can understand feeling an attachment to your home town etc, but I cant imagine what nyc has these days that over cities do not.

That's the real shyt no poster in this thread or any NY thread wants to admit because of ego. If you search right now for apartments in New York you're not going to find one for under $1,500/month for 1 bedroom.
You womt even find 1 fukking bedroom for 1,500 a month.
Some poster said he paid $1,350 a month for a 600sqft one bedroom in the Bronx and it was a good deal.The Bronx is dirty as shyt and far as fukk from downtown Manhattan and it's still more than a mortgage payment for an entire house in every other state in the country.
Apartments in Harlem are a minimum of $1,800 a month and they look like shytholes. Graffiti all over the buildings, garbage piled up right in front of the door and lining the sidewalks. You pay $1,800 a month for a 500sqft apartment in a old ass building and the first thing you see when you walk out your building is garbage and graffiti?
Brooklyn and Queens apartments are a minimum of $2,000 a month, and that's for studios. They really live like roaches over there because if you make 75k you're spending 60% of your take home pay on rent unless you have a roommate. Not building equity, not savings, not investing, more than half your money is spent just so you can live in a run down building in a cramped unit, with no car, with garbage on the sidewalk, and rats and roaches in your building.
It's outrageous that someone had to spend a MINIMUM of $2,500 every single month just to life in a building thats not a complete POS. There's nothing in NYC that justifies that kind of price .
The one poster said it best, they try to justify it as winning just because they're getting raped less. All them east coast guys are getting raped, and they know it.
I do a ban bet that nobody can find an example of a good one bedroom anywhere in NY for less than $2,000/month, it's disgusting.
Not true, there are a lot of apartments in The Bronx, and parts of Brooklyn and Queens for 1300 a month. Not saying that's cheap, but you don't have to be super rich to find a place.
And NYC is by far the most urban city in the USA, it has a lot to offer and that's why people pay so much to live there.
I love the old apartment buildings, they have a lot of soul as opposed to the suburbanesque housing a lot of US cities have. Dallas and Houston look like giant suburbs.

Austin is a sprawl city too, outside of the downtown area it looks suburban as fukk. Same thing with pretty much every city in the South. Does Charlotte, NC even count as a city?
What's good about NYC is that it feels very urban throughout, with some exceptions. Let's say you live in Bushwick, Bed Stuy, Kensington, Flatbush, etc, you have grocery stores, restaurants, bars, barber shops, public transportation, within walking distance of your apartment. I've been to neighborhoods where you can get like 10 different world cuisines on one little strip.
NYC nightlife is also great, last call is 4AM and there's large diversity in the type of venues and crowds. And you can find good stuff all over Lower Manhattan and North Brooklyn.
I agree that NYC is probably the only city in the US that is worth being so expensive , although it really is fukking expensive (the housing, everything else is reasonable), there are neighborhoods with an average household income of like 20,000 dollars per year where the cheapest apartments are still $1400.
Philly is another dope city.

That's not true, what if you stack but live in a Bronx jawn? There's so much real estate in NYC it's just mistaken for buildings but I can see how opportunities can be endless out there. If you multi faceted out there youd dab it up

But go get a std check breh
How many sq feet?drop some info breh, im paying more than $1,700 for a tiny 2 bed in flushing, queens
200k is more than enough to live comfortably. I make a little less than 100k and I'm fine. I own my apartment, car paid off, and would have even more bread if I didn't travel so much.
