This is the Future of America

live like the WorryFree slave quarters from this movie, brehs:

Not saying the prices for nyc,la,San Fran aren’t crazy but y’all gotta use context. Employment, average salaries across sectors. Hell even networking opportunities. shyt may seem silly but if you really about your hustle in the tech sector I won’t blame a man betting on himself moving to San Fran.

Breh, I was living in a 350 sq ft crack den ass studio on Sullivan Street and MacDougal for $2250 a month in 2012, and while there are cheaper areas, sure, I doubt it’s lower than $1900 anywhere in 2019. Where were you thinking?

I think you were duped.

Im on trulia and street easy right now and see a plethora of studios for under 2000.

My homegirl pays $1800 for a studio in Prospect Lefferts Gardens with luxury finishes, a gym, Parking lot, and common space area with free rentals for event planning.

She also lives around the corner from the 2/5 train.

You can get a studio for under $1900 in my area Midwood as I’m looking at the listings now online.

My homeboy just got a 2 bedroom brand new apartment for $1700 in Canarsie.

Might as well go to prison. This is actually a really powerful metaphor for the prison of barely regulated capitalism we live in

They're basically trying to gentrify homeless shelters now

Shreveport to Monroe, Louisiana you can get a little small 3 bed 1 bath in a so so neighborhood for about 40-50K.

That will get you maybe a lot or two and 800-1,400 square foot house. Smaller home, but that same thing elsewhere is considerably more.

There are more people on Shreveport Louisiana living in poverty compared to both LA and NYC. But I will give your location credit since it has over 50% home owner occupancy.

One thing I do notice about people who boast about cost of living in certain places is that they always leave out their poverty stats for everyone to see.

They always talk about their experience. “I pay for $1,000 a month for a mortgage” or “me and my wife pay $900 for a mortgage”

But never talk about the high poverty rate that exist in their location which means a good chunk of people living in Shreveport can even afford a good house

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Damn. They really got folks living like they in central lockup? And they paying for that privilege?

Even here in DC you can still find 1br apartments all over the city for $1200.

I’m on Trulia looking at apartments in LA and 173 listings pop up between $1000 to $1300.

So you can find these places in LA but these programs attract Cacs more than anything.

Idk why the coli listens to these videos when in reality black folks tend to live in a wider range of areas and aren’t as selective as Cacs.

this some cyberpunk shyt

 

[BlackBall]

this some cyberpunk shyt

It’s the evolution of stupidity and cash grabbing

 

[606onit]

i stayed in the LA Podshare on 1st and Vignes last year. it was str8 but not for some long-term shyt.

 

[jwonder]

$1200 a month for a pod?

That's $500 more a month than my mortgage. Ya'll can have Cali and NY any day. shyt don't make no sense how the COL is out there. The thing is they raise shyt dramatically and people still flock to live there.


The average person is literally working to pay rent. Why live in a place and you can't even afford to have fun after the bills are paid.

 

[TDUBB]

As long as white people pay good money to live like dogs... I’m happy.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Thats how u sort out the less intelligent

A tax on the stupid

 

[GoFlipAPack]

And at some point they have to ask themselves is a Tech job in San Fransisco worth living in a 200sq ft dorm.

Cant even bring a chick over to smash

 

[mbewane]

Ain't that similar to a sub-plot in that movie Sorry to bother you

There’s a reason why the he prices are that cheap breh.....
