As someone who lives in NYC and has for a good 15 years now,
your numbers are way off.
While rent here is quite expensive, not everyone is stupid and
plunks down $2500 for a studio (it can be done in nice buildings). Most people
pay maybe $1500 for a decent studio (less if you want not-so-nice), $2500 for a
good 1br, etc. If you’re willing to commute from the outer boroughs, NJ
or upstate (from 30 to 60 min by train) rents can be substantially lower.
NYC is not for everyone, but many people love it here. I certainly
do. It’s not for those who just want a 9-5 job and a quiet life, but if
you want opportunity and action NYC is it. God, I sound like an advert.
Cheers,
Rob

lets
assume you never take a cab anywhere and you pack enough PB&J for a week
so we dont have to argue with Ed Koch
anyone that has lived in NY knows you need 2500/month for any decent studio apt
Also you need first,last and security to get the apt
Making false statements to this group will get you a lawsuit ..
