@Hank Scorpio what type of work do you do, fam?
my man is right ppl only buy huge places for two reason for family or for floss.... a 13x7 bedroom vs a 30x20 end of the day you can still put all the furniture etc you need plus have adequate space...... how is having 6 ft between your bed and your tv so much worse then having 16ft....? what you plan on shooting hoops or something between the two...how is having 7ft to change clothes in the bathroom waaay worse then 17ft...?
ill never understand the issues that people have with small living situations...
...for some people, myself included, a studio/one bedroom is all a person needs...
unless you have a family, do you need those extra bedrooms? you are only in one room at any given time...if its just a forever aloner or even someone living with their gf/spouse, extra space is a waste
yes rents are high but if a person could afford who gives a ****?...
nice view but that price is crazy but obviously you got it so more power to youHaaaaaaa.
You guys always complain about NYC.
COME to San Fran.
(I also believe SF just passed NYC as much expensive place to live in the US)
I pay $4089 for a 1br in the financial district.
Studios in my building go for $3k easy
But we do have a nice view
BUT NO AMMENITIES
Quoted and bolded for emphasis, Manhattan (below 96th street) is populated predominately by three income groups (i) the elderly who have lived in their rent adjusted apartments since the 1960's / 70's, (ii) those who live in affordable housing buildings (many post-war high rises offer for tax abatement) and (iii) those who have the income and means of living to afford to live there. I grew up most of my life in the Bronx where the cost of living closely matched those who lived in the community, after I moved to the city post-undergrad, it was the same thing (higher income could afford "premium" location / amenities).I'm not directing this towards you. So, don't go crazy on me.
What don't you folks understand? Did you guys even know that most buildings won't even let you rent out if you don't have and annual salary that's 45x the rent?
How the Hell is ANYONE using their entire paycheck to live in a room? Buildings do this so people who can afford to live in those buildings live there. The last thing they want is to rent out a $2500 apartment to someone who only makes $40k a year and struggle to pay the rent.
I swear the ignorance and assumptions people make/show on NT is unbelievable sometimes![]()
As for $2700 going a long way in other parts the country--Who the **** cares? If you live in NYC it doesn't matter what your rent can get you in Iowa or Nebraska. You pay to live here and everything reflects that.
You think people in NYC are making the same salary as people in Kansas City? No, it's all called cost of living and believe it or not--there's a scale that works with this kind of ****.
It is what it is. NYC is crazy with everything. Look at parking for example. I pay 512 a month to park my Jeep.![]()
I'm good down here in south beach [emoji]128526[/emoji]
So am I the only one that realized the apartment in question is actually $4,455 a month?

gotta agree with a lot of this...

I've been to SF twice. It really reminded me of a smaller scale NY with lots of character. The first time I stayed downtown right at the entrance to China Town. There were people out walking at all times of the night. Lots of things open and plenty to do. I didn't rent a car that time so my traveling was limited to the area around my hotel.I traveled around the US mostly for work purposes and got a chance to check out most of all the major cities.
If I had to choose any other city to live in besides NYC, it would probably be San Francisco. Just recently went out there for work and it's awesome.
Here's the other point you non-NYers don't seem to raise--anyone in NY can pick up their bags and move to your city and do it bigger than you can, they just chose not to because they want different things in life. Despite the fact you may think it's the wrong move to spend that much money to live here, until you can do it from a motivational and financial standpoint, you're just a dude on the sidelines.
You think it's difficult for someone with a career in NY to move elsewhere and take your jobs and do exactly what you're doing?
Y'all hate NY so much![]()
