  1. Chicago is FAR cheaper than NYC. I don't know what you're talking about. You can't compare the two cities.

  2.  @tahitiantreatskeetjuice692  that's not true, you don't have to go to "the hood" to find affordable rent in Chicago. There are apartments in Uptown which go for $750 including all utilities. I'm in Edgewater and I pay $850 (including all utilities). I don't know what your definition of "affordable" or "cheap" is but the minimum wage here is now $15.40 so if you're working a full 40-hour workweek then you shouldn't have much trouble paying your rent, especially if you have a roommate or spouse to split it with. You don't have to look for an apartment in Englewood or Austin to get an affordable place.

  3. Exactly. I actually thought and posted the same exact thing already. $65K? There are people with bachelor's degrees who can make that in a city like New York. She needs to job-hunt and apartment-hunt elsewhere, and she may also need to fine-tune her skills when it comes to salary negotiations.

  4. Agreed! They should be looking for a cheaper place to live. I would like to live in NYC myself, but I know I can't afford to...so I don't live there! I live somewhere else that's affordable. People are not only idiots but they're also entitled.

  5. For someone with a Master's Degree, a salary of $65K seems a bit low in a city like New York. She definitely needs to job-hunt and apartment-hunt elsewhere.

  7. The increases in rent may not be pleasant, but they are at least understandable. Many landlords lost a lot of money from unethical renters who took advantage of the eviction moratorium during the pandemic by not paying their rent. The landlord's bills didn't stop during that time, so now the honest hardworking folks are the ones footing the bill.

  8. It's New York City, not Minot, North Dakota. In the Big Apple, single women greatly outnumber single men.

  10. Exactly, This is something that this self-entitled generation doesn't understand or refuses to understand

  11. Agreed! It's such an entitled generation. I personally would LOVE to live in NYC. But I don't - because I know I can't afford it! Instead I live somewhere that I can afford!

  12. And where do you live? Pembina, North Dakota?

  13.  @rocketboostjump  wow you must be in a sketchy part of town because I made three separate trips to Minneapolis looking for a place to rent and couldn't find squat (I focused my search in areas like Hopkins and Eden Prairie and I even looked across the border in Hudson, Wisconsin). It may not be as expensive there as East Coast cities but it ain't cheap. I spent five years living in Fargo where the rents are very affordable but now I live in Chicago where I get to enjoy big city life at less than half the NYC prices.

  14.  @rocketboostjump  I’m guessing your situation is different because you bought your house well before the subprime bubble. Assuming you have a fixed rate mortgage then you were pretty well insulated against all that mess that happened in 2007-08. Minneapolis has become very expensive because the job market there is strong and the social services are good (good public schools, good libraries, good welfare system). I know this because I’ve studied the renters market (I was going to move there from Fargo but wound up coming to Chicago instead).

  16. She has a freaking Master's Degree and she's only making $65K. In New York City? She should be making twice that. She needs to find a different place to live. Oh and she may also need to learn how to negotiate her salary a bit better.

  17. lol

  18. Exactly. Prices are determined by supply and demand. Simple as that.

  19. You don't know what you're talking about. You sound like just a self-entitled leftist who wants everything handed to him for free and when we ask how to pay for it you're just gonna say "Uhhhh well just get it from Wall Street"

  20. She'll pay just as much in London as she was in NYC. Does she not have common sense?
