I feel priced out of nyc at 300k

Rents up 100% from the covid trough, 50% up from 2019. Insanity. 4k a month for a west village 1 bed, 5 story walk up alley facing

Anyone I know who has a decent place lives in LIC or JC. Chit. Even if the culture moves to bed stuy etc the subways can’t. It’s over

Do you *feel* that way or *IS* it that way?

Don't use clown world speak.

You could feel that way without it being that way. Do you want to discuss your feelings or reality.

When you make 300k, you should be able to handle a pretty decent sized rent payment. Right?

You're *making* $25k per month... I think you can afford a little more than $4k in rent.

And 5k is illiquid equity, so 10k cash. And then a grand or two in retirement accounts. Not as much as you think.

300k def poverty in nyc, people that never lived there dont understand the costs. 500k you're a bit more comfortable, not on easy street by any means.

There's still a bunch of cheap areas in NYC that are semi-decent. The issue is that theres 0 access if you dont have a car.

No fkin way you can’t live great on $300k as a single person in NYC. Even if your rent is $4k a month $300k is still a ton of $$

If you make less than 500k in the city you may as well quit your job and go on govt assistance because the quality of life will be roughly equal (ded fkn Srs)

If you really dont want to spend 4k on rent for a tiny apartment, go live in Jersey and take the PATH train to work. I rather live in jersey, than in some hood in queens. It's been a while since I lived in NYC, but I also think you dont pay NYC taxes if you reside in jersey, but I could be wrong. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

you're right, anywhere outside the 5 boroughs no city tax, meaning that bozo adams doesnt get 4% of your pay to dole out to his baby dadys couzins gf for some made up job at city hall.

doesn't living in JC limit your friendship/dating prospects though, and everytime you go into the city you're basically a tourist, and have to come home before nightfall??

Op what is your base?

You gotta settle in a studio in East village or flat iron around $3600

Id rather stay in Manhattan because you can Citibike your way everywhere. Although you can citibike your way from LIC or Brooklyn, it’s harder without the e-bike and those are always taken

When you are time poor, cooking at home is one of the first things that go (if not skipping meals altogether)

Perhaps if not the first thing, the second thing after doing your own laundry and ironing

Then you hire a cleaning service
