Reply to comment by planning_throwaway1 in Not Even This City Councilman Can Find an Apartment in New York City by CactusBoyScout

oh ok, just did a quick search. Still a normal percent to pay.

Yeah, I mean. I live in the same neighborhood as this councilman and make roughly the same amount. There are plenty of units in the ~2k range. Nothing really good, but they exist. Dog-shit compared to what you would get in other cities though.

And that's the problem. For what you pay to get your own place in an outer borough in NYC, you could get a brand new apartment with a dishwasher/washer/dryer, balcony, gym, pool, etc in LA. And LA is not a cheap city.

Oh yeah. It's funny when people say all the new apts in NY are luxury. As in they're not tiny and have modern appliances? Those are the norm for a lower middle class apt complex in most of America..
