If I had 10 lives to live, I would spend at least 1 of them living in NYC. I love that city
It was kinda ....wonderful ...for a long time ...
The good bad and the ugly
It really is no more
Most people are simply priced out of being able to live there. Even when I did it for a year a billion years ago, our rent was $3600/month on a 2 bedroom that was really an 1 bedroom they subdivided into 2. It took us about 8 months to even be able to land that place. The person I shared it with lived in the Y forever looking for apartments before I came.
I spent 15 years in 3500 sq ft with a view of the skyline .......Brooklyn
I grew up there though...
We were in midtown on West 49th.
