At the end of the day, in the US, even if you "own" you still got to pay property tax.Live on someone else's property, brehs.

Could literally live in a mansion down south for those prices
I know there's some nice areas in BK, but to pay those Manhattan prices to live there makes no sense to me.
I don't deny that.no but quality, size and amenities of apartments vary greatly. many people prefer Brooklyn life to Manhattan life anyway.
My rent is 1900 in a bed stuy brownstone apt with laundry and a private back yard.I don't deny that.
I prefer the boroughs to Manhattan myself personally (though I like the Heights/Inwood).
That said I wouldn't want to live in a one bedroom in any borough for $4k-$5725k. I think that's ridiculous for Manhattan, much less one of the boroughs.
Yeah that's a nice deal.My rent is 1900 in a bed stuy brownstone apt with laundry and a private back yard.
Personally I can not afford 4-5k rent. However, there are a party in fort greene that are worth that in the context of this current market. Manhattan prices just aren’t the barometer they used to be
the problem is the rest of the country went up crazy. Looked at 1800 apartments in Dallas and was like F that. That advantage to move somewhere “cheaper” has erodedI just think back to what it used to cost to live in NYC, how it was then and how it is now, and just don't feel like it's worth it to me personally.
Obviously the market has changed, and many others feel like it's worth it.
