Nah as long as you don’t live with 4 roommates as a 30 year old, you are good.

AD1 if you are choosing to live in EV you are choosing lifestyle over financial stability. No one really struggling chooses to live in Manhattan. You can live for much cheaper in many other areas (Brooklyn, Jersey, Upper Manhattan).
The implied reference here, again, was that if you live in EV with many roommates you are choosing a lifestyle that’s not fit for most people in their 30s. There was nothing intended to say that roommates are bad, you are taking this way too personal.
For all the people submitting the stereotypes for EV, I’ll do one for the WV. I’ll assume that:
-the lack of diversity in the WV doesn’t bother you (or maybe never even occurred to you)
-you have serious “keep up with the joneses” syndrome
-you like to pretend you have European tastes
-your friend group is toxic
-you enjoy bucketing people based on what job title they have
-you don’t tip your DoorDash couriers
And your apt is a shoe closet or you have a trustfund or you are incredibly house poor and wont be able to split dinner
Curious what rent prices you’re seeing for 1BR in east village
