$3,000 is now the average rent in New York City

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

After living here, it just feels like NYC is the most temporary living situation on planet earth.

A city of 24 million people built on an island with the highest cost of living in the country that's just going to get hit by tropical storm after tropical storm until the majority of it is underwater. Don't even get me started on gentrification.

I love this city though...

Yeah I'm getting tired of renting in this shythole it's not worth it at all

Yea it can be kinda dull here.

No need to explain breh. Nothing in life is more dull than being broke as fukk, not passing anything on to your family besides and debt which is the majority of lifers in New York

The average rent in NY is 3k.... Damn NY, you guys must have some high ass salaries :jada:

Lower Manhattan rent prices are what's inflating that number. You got million dollar penthouse suites and what not down there. You can get a decent spot outside of Manhattan for 900-1300. which is still expensive when most places you can have a whole house with a yard for that.

I laugh all the time when I hear or see a new Yorker say " if u can make it here u can make it anywhere " ...

When they had a article in the times where 1 out 5 new yorkers live in poverty

yup ... all those new high rises they keep builiding which introduces scores of expensive rentals all at once is the biggest reason to me.

NY is kind of overrated...but then again, it's not for everyone.

I personally could never imagine living in Houston or anywhere in Texas. Or any Southern cities. That's just me. I would rather just keep it in the Northeast/East Coast. I enjoy the diversity and the sights and sounds that this city has to offer.

I really want to move out to SF or LA.

I want to move to the LES, but it's just too damn pricey in that area.
