The rent on my tiny studio apartment is going up $1,000 ($1,500 if you compare it to the net effective rent with my concessions), and all I can think is who in their right mind would pay this much for a studio?!

I know it’s blasphemy but I’m so glad I moved to jersey city just to get it over with. I don’t see how we could logically go back to the city now with these prices 😖

Idk man. We don’t have kids either and manage to find and plenty of things to do with that extra $2k in our pockets each month.

Studios are usually the first stop for folks who move to NYC for their first job. Land lords know this. With the next class of I-Bankers / Consultants / Insert-your-white-collar-first-year-out-of-college-job-here moving to the city, we are back to the same old McCrazy.

And if you think you have it rough, how about all the $15/hr workers who struggle to pay rent …

I frequently think about this! If things are expensive for me, a single guy making over $200K, how about marginalized communities!?

Moved to another state and bought property. It got out of control. I didn’t mind roughing it for a while, but there has to be a return on that investment! I was making six figures and living in a rodent infested closet. I had three neighbors die in their units…the thought of sleeping next to their corpses was my final nope outta there. $3k a month for that? When I can own property anywhere else in the US? I miss being in the city, but I love my homeownership better.
