Oh... Sorry.

:rofl: I'll take it I guess

:lol: I'm just ******* with you fam. Ya'll AZ cats are alright. Always good sports about the joking.
 
 
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 ****?...
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...?

Logically it makes no sense. I can see if ppl were comparing a trailer home or that utility closet size home oh ninjahood stayed in... but no way can some one come up with a logically reason as to why you would need a 500 sq ft kitchen vs a 150.... or a 8x11 bathroom as oppose to a 5x7 one....

What you plan one putting a lounge waiting area in there ah something...End of the day its all a mind thing aka what can I do to impress chicks. Its why a cat who is never home... buys a 5 bedroom 5,000 sq ft house sitting on 4 acres.... its why country cats who do a job like iuno work at a bank 10 minutes away buy a truck and add a 10 ton tow package.... its why a financial advisor in la... who works 10-15 minutes away buys a top of the line sports car and will be cramped and uncomfortable....

Its all about what will make me look fly guys hate on me be jealous and at the same time have the ladies love me.... point blank period.
 
It is what it is. NYC is crazy with everything. Look at parking for example. I pay 512 a month to park my Jeep. :smh:
 
Haaaaaaa.

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
nice view but that price is crazy but obviously you got it so more power to you

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 ****.
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).

gotta agree with a lot of this... 

if you're single and can afford to pay for the location, space doesn't matter to a lot of people...

i live in fort lauderdale and have a 3 bedroom condo.... lived alone for almost a year, just got a roommate like last week

there were rooms in my house i hadnt been in for months.... wasted space .... i JUST started going in my living room to chill..... have sat on my couch maybe 5 times since i got it the week i moved in.... im always in my room.. studio in the heart of the city would be perfect for me

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.
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. 

The second time I went I fell in love with that place. I rented a car this time and drove all around the bay area. It was crazy to me how different each city around the bay looked but how close they were to each other. The night before my flight I didn't even get another room since my flight was at 6am. I literally drove around all night exploring. Stopped at some dope late night spots to eat and chill. The women in SF are gorgeous and can dress their ***** off. I'd definitely move there if the opportunity presented itself. 
 
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?
