    • But everyone thinks that in you live in NYC or SF that you earn at least 200k a year.utopian
    • NYC has housing options, SF not so muchrobotron3k
    • Hell yeah, 190k a year plus benefits, motherfucker.DRIFTMONKEY
    • yeah, it sucks. and the hoops developers need to jump through to get projects approved are insane. takes forever for anything to get built.lvl_13
    • in NYC, lots of people pay $5-$7k per month for 2-3 bedroomsmonospaced
    • Doesn't matter the amount you pay, it's the % you pay in relation to your pay net tax. I'm in LDN paying 50% in rent. Sucks. Prefer to pay 33% or less.shapesalad

    • I was trying to find a place in Park Slope at the end of last year, with two real bedrooms. I found nothing that was livable below $5,000.monospaced
    • Anything under that was either a shithole or didn't have any real living space. Or it was a 3 floor walkup.monospaced
    • Definitely feel you mono - We totally lucked out in our 2 last places - 5th st btwn 8th ave and PPW we swooped in and snagged before an open housebulletfactory
    • Great place, garden apt w/d but 1.5 bedrooms - lived there 5 years, (2,800/month that gradually rose to 3,200) had twins, things got tight.bulletfactory
    • Next place 12th st (btwn 8th ave and PPW) we found out about from tenant before it was on the market from park slope parents group. Super lucky (but expensive).bulletfactory
    • Joining a group like that might give you some tips or an edgebulletfactory
