You guys are getting scammed if you are collectively impressed by paying 2k dollars for that small apartment. I know location is everything. But there's a limit.


I pay 600 dollars a month for an apartment that's 7 minutes from down town of my city, and is twice the size of that. 2 bed rooms, big living room, big kitchen and walk in closet I could make a bedroom of if I wanted.
Damn that's cheap. I pay £600 for a house share with two other people (all bills included). My room is pretty big and en-suite though. Only a 20 min walk to the city centre (city pop is about 160,000)

I don't think you understand the market here

I fully understand it. But I still think its a scam to accept that. Its similar in Stockholm. Shittiest smallest apartments going for like 5 to 10 times the price of other towns here, just because its Stockholm, and not necessarily even that close to down town.

Rental and home prices have increased like crazy in the past few years in the US, especially in urban areas. There are still large parts of the country where you can rent an entire house for a few hundred dollars a month though, but those aren’t places I’d like to live.

    You're literally talking about Economics 101 stuff. The market will bear what the market will bear. If you think it's too much, you're right. You aren't the target market segment, then. The point is, someone will. Until literally no one will, that's when the price drops.

    They balling like that up in there? Some Harvey Specter shit. Richer people paying high rents I get. Average joes like that artist less so.
    If you don't land a job that pays at least 150k then dont even bother living in NYC. The 2 close friends i have over pull over 500k a year, they rent small us studios for like 5 grand a month.

    Imagine buying an apartment in warped housing market like that.

    Kyle, when did you get so fucking nihilistic, dude?

    - - - Updated - - -

    On the real, why are bitches, in Ukraine, working for news companies, rolling around in APCs with full makeup on and fucking skirts like it isn't a warzone? Try some pants and a vest one time rather than a Kevlar helmet two-sizes too big. "When I go out, I want to clash! It will make the combatants know I'm not there to hurt them." Bitch, your boys might get me in a rush, but not before I turn your head into a canoe, get it?

    2007? That's when I was a mod.

    Oh sure, you're going to say it should have been 2011, but i know the truth, ham fist.

    THOSE KIDS DIED FOR ALL OF US, I wasn't there, but had I been? Pfft. Same outcome, you' know, what do you say to that, BIG GUY?

    Was on a mixture for a while, they thought my shit was all anxiety until I told them I wasn't allowed to make a mistake at work and drink 15 beers a day. They asked if that was because I was told that and self-medicate or just because I'm a problematic drinker. After a lot of therapy, it turned out I genuinely have OCD with some OCPD and I drink because it makes me easy, psychologically. I went from (soft stuff) like Lexapro, to a bit more Lexapro, to blah blah, then I saw a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist simultaneously. That was what worked, honestly, I got on 20mg of Prozac, up to 30, up to 60, and back to 40. My doc wanted me to stay on 50 to make sure I wasn't chewing off my fingers, but my work took a hit. I stopped caring about deadlines and took an even more lesaiz [sic?] faire attitude where that is typically my drive, my personal life I joke. I dropped down to 40 about three months ago and I can feel the YOU FUCKING DID WHAT WITH THE DISHWASHER creep in every once in a while, but I can roll those hard edges away with OTC Diphenhydramine. It's a life saver, it's the active ingredient in most PM meds, but because I can get 4000 on Amazon, I sleep like a baby or am "nah, cool" when people sharpen my knives the wrong way. Was about a three-year process to where I am, but dude, it was bad.

    I don't know if you're asking because you're curious or for some other reason, but what made me seek help was a podcast with former SEAL Andy Stumpf who said, "Asking for help is a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness." He has some serious PTS issues and medical issues. Made me rethink my life.

    If you want to talk about it honestly, let me know. I'll PM you my number, we can talk at your leisure.
