I am not rich! I have a landlord who isn't greedy and likes me being around so keeps the rent reasonable. They could get $500 more per month easily.
That said, I do like my neighborhood! My complaint is that I moved here long ago because it was the nicest part of the city one could afford to live. Now it's still nice, but it's unaffordable. 25-year-old me never would be able to afford these rents.

for a fugly beige 750-square-foot open concept ‘luxury’ shoebox with no bathtub just a shower in a busted suburban office park on the side of a freeway.
My neighbors act so rude and entitled to staff that I think they’re under the impression we live at the Ritz-Carlton. In summer they start crawling out of the cracks like cockroaches drinking and loudly cavorting in the shared courtyard outside of my window late at night even on weekdays.
But I’m moving in July to a 1,200 square foot 2 bedroom house with a bathtub and an office/sunroom in a walkable area for $1,400 a month 🥰

Living in New York means spending a pretty penny on rent, but that also means hopefully living in a neighborhood you enjoy or a home/room you can really make your own. I think it can be hard to feel like you’re not missing out on all of the goings on in your city, but really enjoying your home and just relaxing, watching some tv, reading, or going for a walk around your neighborhood (basically backyard) are all free and let you take advantage of the money you have to spend every month.

The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
