Manhattan landlords are rejecting single tenants who don’t make over 160k

at what point do governments step in? housing is a necessity.

If you're waiting for the government to step in I got some bad news for you....

 

[Koli_Kat]

It’s a combination of both. I think sometimes we over look the fact that some of these cities are legitimately overcrowded

Yep exactly. There's literally people everywhere in New York...but Airbnb really fukked the rental game up.

No landlord wants to rent an apartment at 2000 a month when you can put your property up for 200 a night and make that in 10 days....that's 6k at 30 days.

New Yorkers get on my nerves. Stay in y’all’s rat infested overpriced city please!

AirBnB and companies like it are overinflating the rental market as well as decreasing supply.


There hasn't been a sudden increase in population that justifies what's going on.

AirBnB should be banned. Or heavily regulated, just like liquor licenses.


Technology and the Tech industry kill previously goods/services, but there has to be a line drawn. Ridesharing crippled the taxi industry, but when you're dealing with shelter and the possibility of being homeless or living uncomfortably, that's where the line needs to be drawn.

I thought AirBNB's we're heavily regulated in places like Florida yet rents are still out of control everywhere. It's still mostly a supply issue coupled with inflation most likely.

Too many people want to live in certain states and it’s creating a supply and demand issue

this aint true. they are just being greedy....

Both of what y’all saying is true.

And we as black people need to expand and start looking at places like Wyoming, Idaho, Nebraska, and Montana

You can find a lot it places there for great prices

I’m planning on going to Cody, Wyoming next year

Keep renting, brehs

What a retarded post.

Expect people unable to afford Manhattan rent to buy Manhattan real estate, brehs

 

[Gritsngravy]

Realistically who can afford damn near 4k a month rent

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

Why though??

What retarded comprehension. Where the fukk did I mention anything about buying real estate in Manhattan?

My point is that renting in general is a fool's errand, and if you're not doing everything within your power to own your own place, regardless where it may be, you already lost. But some people enjoy paying another person's mortgage to live "under their rules" so at the end of the day, do you.

i can't live in a place where there is no black community or businesses to serve my particular needs (foods i want, hair stylists, doctors/dentists who are black or deal with black patients compassionately - i've had some very poor experiences with doctors in the past so this is big for me).

Realistically who can afford damn near 4k a month rent

people who make $160k+ which is a lot of Manhattan residents, and most people in Manhattan don't live alone, even in 1bd's

I hear you, but we can’t be afraid of change, uncomfortability (if I spelled that right), doing something different and making a history being the first.

All we need is a few and we can make something incredible for the future.

Roll with me to Cody next year!


I been doing a shyt load of research and it’s beautiful

I think it’s that point woulda been before what skid row is in LA.

They built this country for capitalism to run unchecked and if that means housing becomes a commodity with no concern for society so be it.

40x rule should be illegal

America doesn't care about its citizens

Make the rule illegal and that’s fine but you gonna spend $50 to apply for an apartment and they will still select the person with higher income.

I just went through this, my saving grace is an 800 credit score big savings and that I bribed a black woman agent who also wanted me to have the apt but she let me know there were 5 applicants on this place most of which had higher income.

You can’t tell landlords who to select and every apt has multiple offers so you know how this will go. shyt, even I had to have bribe money on deck

So yes, rules need to be put in place
