    My rent was $2,100/month when I lived there a few years ago. Nice place, updated kitchen and bathroom, quiet, close to public transit, multiple grocery stores in walking distance. That’s steep for sure but nowhere near as insane as people make it out to be. Also I could’ve rented a place for like 1,600 but I shelled out for the nicer one. It’s really not that bad.

      That’s good to hear.

      My friends have a big four-bedroom in Brooklyn, but of course, there are four people in it. They love it, but I just couldn’t do it. I love having my nice big condo to myself.

        Oh for sure it is stupid expensive don’t get me wrong. But the way people talk you’d think it is $4k/month for a tiny dump, not 2100 for a pretty nice place that I decided to pay extra for. Also pay tends to be higher which takes the edge off a bit. Just saying it isn’t quite as bad as people make it out to be.

        These days I’m paying 1200 for a dump in a medium sized city and often think I’d be much happier paying 2100 in NYC. So there’s that.
