People, yall are getting "sticker shocked".. it's not really that bad 
.
Those prices sound high to yall because of what YOU pay per month, and how much you make at work, down south.. What yall need to realize, though, is that you'd get paid much more in NYC doing the same jobs as you do in the South.
That is how the average NYC resident can pay $1500 per month rent to live in NYC.
They wouldn't be a "king" if they moved down here to live, because the wages wouldn't transfer most likely. Working at Target in NYC you'd probably make about $3 more than working at a Target in the south.
It's all relative.

That's how I'm looking at it cuz depending on where I move my salary will differentiate on cost of living, in atl or texas I wouldn't make as much, renuts cheaper yea but income would be less
Good luck, I'm planning to move out too, with my girl soon. I'm trying to not pay more than 1500, i'll be paying all the rent for now as well.
Don't y'all feel sick like 10 years down the road knowing you paid like 300k in rent

That's what people don't realize, and they're sitting in here clowning ppl for living in NYC
They don't even realize when all is said and done, the NYC resident may actually have more money left over at the end of every month and may actually be living a little more financially stable than say a southerner may be.

Being young in NY you almost don't have a choice. Its hard to even get approved for a mortgage here. Most of us live with rent. And the shyt here in NY that you can buy, isn't even worth owning in the long run. I don't want to own a 2 bedroom apartment. Eventually you leave the demographic that you're in now, and your needs change. If what I have planned goes according to plan, then I'll be getting a condo somewhere in the city, if not I'm just going to leave New York. Makes no sense to live here if you can't afford it. I'm only 20 though, so all I need is an apartment to myself.

I don't know she said she pays 1500, and she has a random roomate so maybe she pays the bulk of the rent but I assumed they'd be paying close to the same amount.
plus maybe they got suckered I dunno

not that I don't believe. Not even calling you a liar. But I'm moving to LES in 3 months and my apartment there is going to be 2400 for a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom. Unless you live in Harlem or something I guess. I don't know what its like up there.
If you're living Downtown its crazy right now. And 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom is going to run you at least 3500. No chance of getting something like that for 2 grand.
Maybe she did, because Crown Heights isn't even a great neighborhood like that. It has its nice parts, but it ain't great. SO 1500 for a portion of the rent sounds a little
