NYC one-bedroom rents hit $2,980/month, an all-time high

[Rockstar Mom]

I love NY, but would never pay that price. I have a nice lottery apartment that’s rent controlled, and I’m not moving unless it’s into another lottery apartment

But I’m am considering moving down south so I can have a house. I started looking here, but the only things in my range were Condos and Co-ops. Neither of which I want. The prices on a lot of these NY houses aren’t worth it honestly. Same with apartments.

A lot of people have a poor understanding of economics. They see numbers and think they know it all.

Honestly I’m not a big fan of articles posting numbers because most Americans don’t have economic intelligence to understand them.

The housing market needs to start releasing reports on the most “burdened” markets which would make more sense to mass of people.

I disagree median HOUSEHOLD income in NYC is $57,000 (Brooklyn $52,000). The Goldman Sachs banker is an outlier and does not have a monopoly on hard work. She is so much an outlier that she was an illegal immigrant working at Goldman with no social security number (SSN). That's how much of an outlier she is but I digress. There are people that work hard and I am not talking about retail menial jobs etc... I am talking college educated people who cannot afford NYC or live comfortably let alone bring and raise children in NYC.

My point is that sometimes people can't just "level up" given the mass wage stagnation over the past 20 years. My point is that there is something wrong when you have people resorting to living and inheriting the house they grew up in because they cannot simply afford market prices for homes when the game is supposed to be to get out of the home you grew up in, find your own for you, your wife and kids.

I understand why rents are pricey but I still don’t understand why owning a house in expensive anywhere in America with most people not being able to afford one.

I figure the demand is low which should make prices drop. But it’s the opposite.

Can you explain how this works? Besides for property tax?!

HOA fees bruh

Wouldn’t really say she’s an “outlier” because white collared workers in NYC make six figures with ease.

They median salary of NYC has a lot of factors that you are missing.

Of course you have the families who are doing well and then you have Many of those 57K a year residents live in rent regulated or NYCHA apartments so a huge chunk of those people aren’t struggling as much as you think.


My parents combined make six figures and pay $1400 a month in my rent regulated building.

I’m not disagreeing with you but I’m letting you know there are insane loop holes in NYCs rental market.

If you hang around Miami Beach you cant deny the fakkitry that goes on there. Unless you got so used to it you're blinded/desensitized to it. Gay mofos openly flirt/whistle at straight dudes as if it's nothing on Collins and Ocean drive.This is shyt i've seen with my own eyes when i was a young lad cruising around soucthbeach, doggy. And from what i know from my latino friends in Miami, the ones in Hialeah are just as bold now.

So again, doggy , Atlanta may be in the limelight these days thus everything that happens in Atlanta gets broadcasted to the nth degree.

And yes I , as a transplant in Atlanta , feel like there are a lot of gays here. But let's not act like Miami is that far behind if not ahead. The thing that stands out about Atlanta is that the gays in the black community are in the spotlight whereas in MIami it's mostly whites and latino gays. Miami's black population, along with the black american, is made up of a large amount of black caribbeans (haitians, jamaicans, Trinis, etc). And those caribbean communities tend to be very homophobic so anyone who is gay in that community is less likely to put themselves out there like that .
I'm Haitian and i know how my people, for the most part, deal with gay people: Either you shut the fukk up or they kill you, period. Hell some might still kill you. My own mother once suggested that her friend who's gay son came out the closet kill her own son. Same with Jamaicans. Some would say i'm homophobic to some degree myself but other people's lifestyle is none of my business and i know to respect someone's life in dignity. I just dont fukk with 'em like that.

Gays are a big deal in all major cities which is why I don’t pressure myself on speaking about gays in Atlanta.

If a city is large and well known there will be a lot of gays there period especially if it’s blue in politics.

I'm not either. I was just responding to his comment earlier. Feel free to look up the conversation the entire conversation

Bruh. As a native I didn't fukk with the beach like that. Most of us don't. Miami Beach is a huge tourist area. I weekend expect that there.
I'm talking like neighborhoods line N. Miami Miami lakes Coral gables and shyt neighborhood like Hialeah.

I haven't seen as open as ATL To compare the fagotry to Miami is incorrect.

I don't go by news like idiotic people. I had to live in ATL for a year for work. So I'm going by my actual experience being there.

Just as I go by my experiences of living in Miami for 12 years.

You may not fukk with the beach like that . But most Atliens don't fukk with mid-town like that. But guess what: it's still there. The first time I ever saw transgender people was in Miami when I worked in Aventura at the Sprint store there. The first time I ever seen cross dressers or a dowgay wasparade was downtown Miami. I worked for Discovery Cruises for a year and the amount of gay shyt I seen at the pier going in casino cruises used to make me sick personally.

If I were to compare it to Atlanta id probably give Atlanta the edge but it's close. But as bad as I think it is in both my homeboy who grew up in Miami that I used to play basketball at Cagni Park with before he moved to NY in 2002 tells me NY is even worse than Miami on terms of gay population influence

@keond my parents pay $1400 for a large 3 bedroom apartment.

NYC is filled with rent control and rent regulated apartments which some people blame as on one of the reasons why rent is expensive up here.

There’s nothing ducktales about someone paying that low rent here if they got lucky and snagged one from affordable housing or had an rent controlled apartment passed down to them from their parents or bought a brownstone in the good old days when they cost half the price.

My father, grandmother, and her sister all live in 3 diff buildings in the Esplanade Gardens co-op in Harlem off 147th and 7th. They definitely lucky to have gotten in in the 80s and 90s before shyt got ridiculous.

My one question

Why are so many of the bathrooms in ny apartments small and poorly organized?

Most of those bathrooms are in pre war buildings.

Post war buildings and new construction buildings do not have poorly designed bathrooms at all.
