Only place I’d live in NY is upstate, it truly is beautiful, could never live in the city. I like being close to the city for good food, entertainment, etc, but being packed in, especially how NY is layed out, I couldn’t imagine people get any rest there.

It depends. Single 26yo? East Village and take some hipsters with trust funds to pound town.

Old money chill? Greenwich.

New family and work in midtown east? LIC in a modern build.

Comfortable senior management on Wall St? Brooklyn and take the ferry.

Folks who say "manhattan" don't live here because the vibe in the UWS is totally different from lower east.

probably because you think you are some high end New Yorker living in manhattan like a celebrity when in reality you live in Brooklyn, You have admitted it.

NYC is Manhattan. Period. Just like LA is LA, beacon Hill and Back bay are Boston, etc. If you do not live in Manhattan you do not live in NYC. Brooklyn is separate as far as I am concerned.

Wealthy people do not live outside of the above areas in their city residences. Tom Brady lived in Back bay when he was in Boston. Not Jamaica Plain or Dorchester. That isn't Boston, although a lot of poverty people will tell you otherwise.

You can pretend all you want taking your Uber X to some restaurant in manhattan, but you are not a New Yorker as far as I am concerned. You are a poseur.

^ this is what "rent free" looks like folks. From a pleb who couldn't afford life here.

In that thread which lives on in your brain, the actual New Yorkers on this forum accused me of bragging. Because they understood where that must have been taken.

But of course that flew over your head. Seethe, child. Seethe. And remember: rent is soon due.

Yes the subway stinks of piss but NYC is one of my favourite cities

Ok it’s expensive but that’s why the song says “if I can make it there I’ll make it anywhere”

Plebs

It’s the city so nice they named it twice

Frankie didn’t sing about “it’s up to you, Boise, Idaho” or some chit

My favourite Burrough is Brooklyn, what about everybody else

Native Russian (or Polish) speaker? Brooklyn.

Shout out to Sal’s pizzeria. Yes it was in a movie but the calzone there will cure your hangover no matter how bad.

Read the thread for the cope. I ethered Skier in another thread so he and others like OPGenesis (a rentcel who seethes at my NYC threads, hence his) now say "Brooklyn isn't NYC".

LOL. Plenty of celebs live in Brooklyn Heights for a start. They are just seething and know nothing about the city as they can't afford it.

As this thread shows. LOL

I'm on the UES. Work remotely. Admittedly, I don't visit every part of Manhattan. I say Manhattan just as a general reference to the area, I know each part of it has a different vibe.

Some people are just wired differently, I've lived in suburbs in my adult life and the lack of foot traffic was maddening to me. Felt like I was living on a planet where everyone was dead. I like walking to get my groceries, walking in general.. can't stand the car life.

I could afford to buy a townhome in dumbo or similar but I literally cannot fathom the idea of having to pay money to see a doctor, even in Moscow it’s not like that

Insurance is what it is. My employer pays around 3200/month for mine (covering my wife and I).

My wife (German) hates it. I am used to it. But the discussion here is too politicized for folks to take a hard look at health care and insurance. Though the Dems can't even come together on it either, lol.

And yeah there are very nice parts of Brooklyn that are more expensive than nice parts of Manhattan. Some posters just don't get it lol.

I actually get the appeal of NYC. I’d probably live there if I was more of a money mogger. I don’t think it’s worth it on my current ~ $200K income, because that goes a lot further in Texas. But when I make $500K one day, I’d love to move to NYC and get a sick condo with a view

Imagine being a Chad and having a baller condo in a city with millions and millions of hot girls within a few miles. Man that would be sweet. Miss me with that suburbs chit, the very idea makes me want to rope

$200k is still $9k/month in NYC - you could afford a nice place for $4k, spend $2k on monthly expenses, and have $4k left over in cash savings each month

I thought about Texas, I make good money and would definitely save more there, but again, suburbs suck. Place where people go to raise families and retire.

That’s the thing - $4k discretionary income is not enough for me. I like to be able to simultaneously invest aggressively, and live it up. I couldn’t maintain my current spending on that

Also, I doubt $4k gets you a nice place in NYC. I’ve looked at apartment.com listings and $3.5k seems to get you a very tiny entry level apartment. I wouldn’t want to live there unless I had a big luxury pad

Texas=/=suburbs. You can live in the populated parts of Houston, Dallas, or Austin. Good nightlife and can get a baller ass place for less than a cheap place in NYC

Dude, you live in Brooklyn. Let me say that again. You live in Brooklyn. people live in Brooklyn because they cannot afford to live in Manhattan.

You are absolutely nothing. You stupid rent comments are so comical. Your life is UberX and the subway and your dump apartment in Brooklyn. Coming into Manhattan and pretending you are a part of high society. The places people like me go to.

Stop making a fool out of yourself.

Look how idiotic this guy is. Compare property prices in Brooklyn Heights with Hells Kitchen as a quick example.

You follow me from thread to thread because I dominate you, being a happily married millionaire landchad in NYC. Seethe, irrelevantcel. Seethe.

You're clearly not in the right socioeconomic bracket for this discussion. You need to learn your place instead of highlighting your ignorance with every post you make.

Astoria is a European hipster place. For what you pay on UES you could pay the same for a bigger place.

You work remotely though no?

You don't live in NYC loser. Brooklyn is not NYC.

Your life is UberX and the subway. Peering into the windows of the places I go to and looking at my food with that empty look on your face. Yes my friend rent is due and we all know you can't pay any less than your Brooklyn studio so you better be on time, or it's the street.

I live rent free in this guy's brain, lol. Let me guess you live in NYC now also? Are you mentally ill? You sound like it. Like the guys who say they live in UWS but come to Wall Street to work in a coffee shop.

Hurts doesn't it? Take your UberX in today and look at all of the wealth that isn't yours. Look in the windows of restaurants of successful people eating real food.

Average price of a ****box in Manhatty is 5k which gets you 600sq feet. You need to be renting at 5 figures to even be entry level mogging.

I am so much better than all you plebs with my fancy job at the state dept. I live in Manhattan and am so special. Follow me on twitch and youtube, and let me know if you think I am a huge fgt. I have a giant hole in my heart and must fill it by chasing clout or collecting material things. I speak in monotone and only studied unrigorous subjects because I am a scrub. I also failed the IQ test by playing Diablo Immortal, lul. I am a sycophant and a LOSER.

What's funny is how NT'ers think that everywhere else people are backwards and stupid. They will say "you can make it here you can make it anywhere" and yeah, you can make it anywhere but there and the reality is if you can make it, you can make it, it' not about location. People go to overpriced schools and then live in overpriced areas because they are led to believe that more expensive means better.

I've learned from personal experience that often places that pay more, cost more to live there. You have to find a balance. NY the balance is tipped in the opposite direction that say backwoods Mississippi where it's cheap to live but wages are trash.
