Comments like the one made by the Op reminds me of those who complain about gas when it rises. Get a better job and the price wont mean anything.

Thats because no one wants to live in Philly

Thats because no one wants to live in Philly

that

and

rent control + onerous zoning laws + rampant historic preservation keeps ny rents higher than they should be

 

[Majestic Pape]

That rent might be reasonable if you were paying six months at a time.

Philly's actually pretty nice...

There's only a handful of places better than it

 

[Sierra Mist]

It's such a shytty and overrated city unless you're balling out of control.

 

[TMillzy]

New York lost for this one

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

But that's the price you pay to live in the greatest city on earf.

That said NY apt rent = 3 bdrm home anywhere else.

Tad bit ridiculous

I was thinking the same thing.

Location + Opportunity + Public Transportation

A lot of people don't understand how rent works

 

[Spade]

You can that type of apt in DC for half the price which is still pretty damn expensive.

This too. If I could afford that, I'd rather stay there than some shyt suburb. Can't beat location.

 

[Non Sequitur]

That said NY apt rent = 4 bdrm McMansion anywhere else.

Tad bit ridiculous

Fixed.
