Lowkey there are plently of cheap spots in Harlem and The Bronx. You just have to be in the know and have the right connects. They dont put those prices on craiglist and online 
, Like I said if you were born in NY and have family all around the city you should be good.
However me personally if I was from somewhere else I wouldnt cold case leave everything behind and move to NY with no support system out here. That shyt is suicide

You can find apts in the UES for 3K. I see a lot of leases and plenty of people in great locations pay 3K plus. You just happened to pick a expensive ass area+ place. Either find a cheaper place or get a better job
I'm not planning on moving to New York. I gave up that dream when I realized I actually had to pay these things called bills. I just made this thread to
When you live in NYC, you either need a shytload of money to offset the price gouging in Manhattan, or you gonna be living in the outer boroughs; a far cry from the dope downtown loft you saw on movies growing up

I do like Harlem tho. Its on the island but, it feels like its own world after a while.
Most black people live in the outer boroughs. I dont think I have any friends who live downtown like that. Queens is kinda like the suburb borough out of em all. Once nikkas get dough, they tend to move to queens rather than heading downtown. Downtown is for like the execs, the celebs and rich cac trust fund babies. You would prolly feel more out of place downtown, time square area, over the outer borroughs.
It really aint that bad at all. Some parts in harlem is like a 30 min walk away from the super rich downtown area anyways

I figured that was my old area... Last time I was up top, every single stop along the L train was like hipster central. And they renovating all those old buildings and making em super nice. I used to go to Kelloggs Diner on Metropolitan and Union after a night of clubbing, and it was mainly old buildings over there. I was by there last year, and all these ultra new condos had popped up. Same thing by where we lived in Bushwick, too. That's why me and my nikka @Brooklynzson took flight to greener pastures in Florida :superman:
U can't live how u wanna live in NY unless u making some serious money. Even my ex who work on Wall Street complains about the rent and she making quap
NYC. shyt ain't worth it. Show me the world instead
Word. You gotta hustle to live up there now, especially if you got a wife and seed. I had a car, and the only reason I got one was cause we needed it with going to Costco and BJs to get stuff we needed for the kids. The insurance (just liability), was killing a nikka. $1500-2000 every six months. I'd call for insurance quotes, and since these geniuses go by zip code, Brooklyn was always the worst one. They'd ask my zip, and I'd go "11237", and I could hear dude on the other side like
, and what was even more dumb, the next block up, Cypress Ave, was QUEENS, where the rates would drop... 
I love my city, but between the daily practice of raping nikkas and my hatred of snow, I had to cut loose.
Now I
good down here in NC. Ya'll brehs stay good up there, with this hurricane. NYC isn't for everyone....I love this place...very few places I'd seriously consider moving to
Thats my home
I always said I would probably stay if I was single. Ain't no city like it. I miss the street energy sometimes. I got a couple peoples that couldn't leave but moved to outlying areas. My mans works for NY Transit, and he bought a crib in the Poconos. He commutes into the city by bus at like 5 in the morning, with zero traffic, takes him like an hour, and he leaves at like 2:30, and still beats traffic.

It is hilarious isn't it that people in New York who make six figures still need roommates.
But FWIW, there's so much to do in NYC that you aren't even home most of the time

I live in Charlotte right now and I hate it
Lived in NYC for 6 months and I want to return ASAP. I'm single, have no kids, and don't plan on ever having any unless I'm pulling down 400k a year.
NYC isn't worth giving up, despite how expensive it is. Chicago and maybe San Francisco are the only two comparable cities in America.
damn so if your folks owned like a spot just renting it out you'd be eating like cray

Manhattan shoebox apartment: a 78-square-foot mini studio - YouTube
New York architect Luke Clark Tyler rents a 78-square foot studio apartment for $800 a month in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen, where studios usually average $1,900 per month. But in a neighborhood where the average rental price per square foot in a studio is $72, Tyler is paying almost twice as much at $123.07 per square foot, according to Mark Menendez, the director of rentals at Prudential Douglas Elliman.

Charlotte isn't even a real city. It's a bunch of fukking office buildings surrounded by the suburbs. I can't even get decent Asian food here and don't get along with these people culturally. I have no idea why New Yorkers would come here unless they were forced to.
The hookers are even trash
I need to return to Manhattan
