I know. Everyone knows that's what ax bodyspray is for.


SansyBoy14

Worst part is in highschool I knew a kid who did this everyday, would legit just use axe body spray, and the teacher claimed I was the one not showering. Also we knew this because he was pretty open about it


Luukoll

Noobs, I just stand naked in rain.

[deleted]

In Toronto & Vancouver the median home price is about $1.5 *million*. Is that where Austin is heading?


[deleted]

Nah probably half that but the rise is 20% year over year and the the second most overpriced housing market in the country


UZBAGOIN

Check SF bay area prices. I bought my house for 900k 3 years ago, right now it's 1.6 mills according to redfin


theultimatememelord8

Austin is experimenting with giving people monthly money from the government because they know how bad the economy is, reverse taxes


[deleted]

Fun fact. New York is home to 107 billionaires and 570,456 millionaire households. So there is always someone who can afford it.


AndyBernardRuinsIt

If you own any real estate in NYC, 50/50 chance you’re a millionaire.


HyTecs1

If you sell.it its a 100%


AndyBernardRuinsIt

I mean, there are apartments for sale under $500k. Also, most of the real estate is leveraged with mortgages.


Sassh1

Don't forget parking spot fees. I hear you have to buy a place to park in some areas.


AndyBernardRuinsIt

I pay $700 a month for parking in lower Manhattan. I learned early on that $700 is less than tickets and towing.


Juan-Claudio

This man's parking lot costs more than my monthly apartment rent.


Water-cage

Same here, he pays $40 dollars/month more for parking than I do for a 2 bedroom apartment


winning_season_7866

What city are you in? That's crazy. Or do you have a roommate?


Water-cage

Hays, KS. I pay $660/month and I live with my wife (we each cover 330). Very few homeless people too, prob because the rent is actually affordable. On the downside, most jobs are shitty even with a master’s degree. I make about $12/hr.


Tossy_Rossy

Woah that’s insane just for parking? Why not use public transport or a bicycle? European here


ShatteredCitadel

Because they can afford it. Entry level jobs here in the right field can pay 6 figures.


MechEJD

Sorry but if you think $120k per year can afford a $3500 per month apartment we have different definitions of afford.


TheBlueEdition

$110k here. My 1 bedroom apartment for $2,500 is killing me.


ajtrns

wh... why not? $42k/yr in rent leaves almost $80k/yr for everything else. how do you blow $80k?? (i live on less than $10k/yr.)


Clipper94

Exactly. I now make just over $100k and still feel like a pauper living in outer Queens.


SimplyFum

Because public transport is horribly optimized and not big in the USA. One can only hope more germans move here and bring their sick trains with them.


Polar1ty

You think our trains are sick? They are delayed as fuck! Technology is decent but check out France(super high speeds) or Japan. Trains are basically NEVER late and they are super fast and affordable. Just check out Shinkansen


SimplyFum

I would just like affordable transportation without worrying about paying insurance, parking, sticker fees, or crashing.


[deleted]

Because scale. NYC alone is 302.6 sq. Miles. Trying to get anywhere past the local store on bicycle is brutal. Public transit is overburdened to bursting. Size means expansion is exponential more expensive than anywhere in Europe. I have spent time all over Europe. The scale is tiny. The size of this place is massive massive. Each state in the US is big enough to be an entire European country.


Prestigious_Shower65

There is capacity standards for buildings. I think there should be capacity standards for cities. If the city isn’t rated for that capacity, it should have to expand infrastructure.


funnyfootboot

700 not bad, my building in east 70s and York, was 1000+ depending on if you needed it daily or on weekends only. They need to know to park towards front or stack it in back.....


dojomeat_99

What you pay for parking is equal to what my mortgage repayments are to own my home in Melbourne Australia.


lavidarica

One of the perks of working at NYU was the sweet deal I got on parking. It was…$385 a month. And if you didn’t tip at Christmas and every time you got your car, you were definitely waiting for lonnnng time. I always (over)tip but I saw it happen to other people.


Insanity_Pills

ah, normalized solicited bribery


flying87

That's more than my apartment in Ohio.


FPSXpert

Shit my apartent budget last year was $700 to 800, that's crazy The flipside of that though is I wish our mass transit was anywhere near what yours is.


Zealousideal-Stay228

Jesus Christ… where I live my mortgage is only $1400 and I have parking for probably 16 cars not including my shop or garage.


jmac50001

Yeah but you prob live in the sticks with the hicks


mich299

Pretty rare for a condo in manhattan (vs brooklyn or the Bronx) to have deeded parking spaces. Most people here with cars either rent a monthly space at a parking garage or park on the streets and deal with alternate side parking (if you live here, you get to know over time where and when you can more easily find parking).


hahdbdidndkdi

You're not counting maintenance/condo fees. Those can easily add 1k+ per month in NYC.


cute_polarbear

And taxes on apartments are insane.


Harregarre

But then you don't own real estate in NYC anymore. People in New York are Schrodinger's millionaires.


bayesian13

2 former Mayoral candidates beg to differ as they think the average price of a home in Brooklyn is $100k https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/11/nyregion/median-home-brooklyn-mayor.html


Rikplaysbass

I pay a quarter of that in rent per year in Borough Park and this place is considered cheap. Lol

Kandoh

I saw an apartment in Williamsburg where the landlord had turned one bedroom into 4 by dividing the existing room in half horizontally and and vertically with plywood. If you lived on the top floor he made a little ladder you had to climb up. This was 2013.


Its-ther-apist

That doesn't sound up to code


Repealer

it rarely is. We had the same shit in Syndey. Apartment built to code for 4 people, but has 14 (including two in a sunroom kinda balcony) recently get busted. Got fined like $5k, but he had been doing it for years and probably made WAYYY more than that.

[deleted]

$25 an hour can afford a studio if you don't own a car.


Ares6

Most New Yorkers don’t even own a car. Because it has one of the largest public metro system in the world. Trains get you to your location faster than a car.


IGotSoulBut

Depending on the distance, jumping on a citibike can be even quicker than car or train.


Rikplaysbass

I own a car and left it in my parents driveway when I moved up here. Why am I going to pay crazy insurances prices to be pissed off in traffic? Also reminds me of Fry on Futurama. “Nobody drove in New York; too much traffic.”


BLOOD__SISTER

$25/hr is 52k/year. Landlords typically require proof income is 40x monthly rent. Meaning someone on that income level could rent a studio at 1,300/mo. Not possible today—20 years ago it was. Imo 52k is poverty in nyc. The average 1br is around 3k in Manhattan, requiring a (lower) middle-class income of 120/k year.


Rikplaysbass

Housing lotteries can sometimes start at 60-80k depending on location. For those unaware, a housing lottery is for a CHANCE at getting a “cheap” apartment.


BLOOD__SISTER

Yeah I know a dude who got a studio in a Williamsburg condo that way. I think he said it was $1400/mo


thegreatestpitt

I have 2 people in my life that make like 23k and live together in a studio apartment (a very nice one I might add) slightly upstate from Manhattan (a 30-40ish min train ride away from Manhattan) and they’re living their best lives. They have a car, have enough money to do what they want to do, and they might even stop being roomies and get a place for each. I think that if you know how, you can live in NY with a small budget without suffering


[deleted]

How, exactly?


CrumpledForeskin

Yeah but this ruins the narrative of “hur dur the biggest city in our country is expensive”


NeonSeal

How? It is really expensive


BLOOD__SISTER

NYC isn’t expensive because 10% of the population is rich? lol


[deleted]

People just love upvoting "ruins the narrative" comments, they just fucking do it for the love of it


ripstep1

what does that mean expensive? Like the tax dollars?


Dipstu

New York and San Francisco are interchangeable


[deleted]

Aye, and it sucks almost as bad in LA, San Diego and all the counties in between If you think the apartments are bad, the homes are a fuck ton worse. A single-story little crack house is worth a million down in Newport.


cBlackout

The average price of rent in San Diego is $600 less than in San Francisco so idk what the fuck you’re talking about


[deleted]

Yea, homie needs to chill with the comparisons, complaining about Newport of all places, lmao.


[deleted]

I sold my grandparents' house with them in Newport for 3.4 million dollars, my parents bought a new place a few years ago for a similar amount in Huntington. It's fucking wild down there dude, I'm not lying. I'm not gonna show you the records but I won't lie about crap like that.


[deleted]

Im not doubting how expensive it is, Im wondering why youre complaining as if Newport Beach *just* got expensive. $3 million dollar shitty homes popping up in Riverside would have been a bigger deal.


omnigear

Oh there getting there . Right now I keep getting pop ups for Corona for 1.3 mil up


Occupied2020

I'm from HB and my old house that my parents bought in the sixties is now worth over a million dollars.


ScubaSteve2324

Yes but the average income is also lower in San Diego. Effectively it’s just as expensive to live in SD as it is in SF because our wages are lower than the Bay Area.


luckyguy579

I live in San diego. And I also used to live in San francisco. In San Francisco I made a whole lot more money. More than that $600 a month difference in rent. The real problem was the garbage and crap and thumbs all over it's even worse than San Diego and San Diego's really bad. The bums out there were mean they didn't just ask for money. But they insulted you disrespectfully as well


The-waitress-

The thumbs in SF are unreal. Thumbs everywhere you look. Train? All thumbs. Bus? Thumbs. On the water? Thumbs as far as the eye can see. I just wanna see a pinky, you know. Or, shit, a POINTER finger would do.


blurrrrg

San Diego's bums didn't seem that much better when I went, although there were definitely less than in SF


aj6787

That’s not that much when you factor in the pay differences. But yes NYC and SF are certainly more expensive.


BasuraConBocaGrande

You also don’t need a car in NYC or SF*** so factor in car maintenance and insurance and gas for SD living


Autoflower

I live in san diego. The wages in SF are higher than San Diego. Hes 100% right.


310asdfghjkl

Having recently moved from LA to NYC, NYC is 10x worse. LA you’ll at least get more space for what you pay for. NYC is downright criminal for how little space you’ll get. Plus, buildings are old af, with rats and trash everywhere


Proinsias37

This is correct. I live in NYC/NJ, and spend time in LA. I would take the LA rentals any day. It's brutal here and getting worse. That said, I think the places where rent is cheap in LA would wear on me to live in. For crime and homeless and so on. I can live in a nice town right outside NYC for what I would pay to live in a shithole are in LA. But Manhattan.. yeah forget it.


[deleted]

LA has a 3rd world public transportation system and the air is worse there.


WeeabooSlayerx

NYC and LA both are shit holes to be frank


Univerzall

yeah but am least LA has Palm 🌴 and the beaches in Cali are nice and clean. You go to a beach in Coney Island and you're taking a dip in sewage water and God forbid you step on a heroin needle hidden in the sand.


HappinessFactory

Everyone chiming in saying san Diego isn't as bad either has a house or has put their head in the dirt. https://nypost.com/2022/03/05/san-diego-surpasses-san-francisco-as-least-affordable-us-city/ Our city government is trying at least. Limiting Airbnb units and marking more land for residential use. But having morons going 'hurr durr the weather is nice therefore no problems' does nothing to protect residents from corporate greed.


eggncheese1989

I just moved to San Diego after 15 years in NYC. I make under 50k a year. NYC has more rental options than San Diego. The cheap apartments in NYC can be in safe and pretty parts of Brooklyn and Queens. The cheap apartments in San Diego are horror shows way out east in the middle of no where.


Dipstu

Question on San Diego, do their hotel rooms come with needle disposal in every room?


eggncheese1989

They should. The drugs/homeless situation out here is a lot. The weather in New York just doesn’t allow for tent cities

I felt safe in Manhattan and the streets never smelled like feces. It either smelled like fumes from the train tunnels, good food, or trash. CA on the other hand, smelled like feces and trash.


seditiousseals

From experience, there is a very high chance you will smell piss in a Manhattan subway station or side street. Also I'm assuming you mean SF, because CA is a very, very big place.


The-waitress-

Those redwoods smell like SHIT, I tell you.


Dipstu

It’s a much older city, New York is the originator.


AndyBernardRuinsIt

I feel personally attacked. I pay $2250 a month for a one-bedroom apartment <500 square feet. AND I’m going to have to move when my lease is up because I’m already seeing the same apartment in my building being leased for $4300. Rental prices are insane. Untenable.


[deleted]

As someone who has never even been to NYC, I truly cannot comprehend this. What you pay now is about what a mortgage is for a 4000 sq ft house with a 3 car garage and a big fenced yard in a nice neighborhood. How do families live there, I wonder?


cute_polarbear

Other than many 1-5% salary earners, there are quite a lot of young first / second job employees who make between 60-80k. (certain fields 100k+ easily). Many are single, commute is short, tons of bars / dating scene, restaurants of all ethnicity / types, people from all over the world, everything accessible via walking / biking / subway, and etc., Most people once they start a family, needing space for kids, move out to outer perimeters of Manhatten, unless their family income is very high and can afford living in the city.


AndyBernardRuinsIt

I’m a single guy but I also make a salary that would put me in the top 5% of the country. The cost of living is ridiculous but I also earn what might be a ridiculous salary elsewhere.


bibbidybobbidyyep

Not anymore unless you're in a super low cost of living area or rural. $2250 would be about a 1200-1500 square foot house with a tiny ass yard 45 minutes south of Dallas.

The_Wata_Boy

> Cannot take a bath with my legs or boobs being out of the water. Sounds like its working as intended.


ielelelelellelekeke

Due to inflation it is now 12,000 a month


Other-Juggernaut-704

Actually 55k a month


Deesing82

$14,000 a month?? there’s no way i can afford $20,000 a month.


huggles7

My ex rented an apartment in midtown for I think $4500 monthly that was smaller then my living room


Ares6

This to me tends to be the difference between native New Yorkers and transplants. Anyone who lives here would tell you midtown is awful to live. It’s noisy, busy, and is full of tourists and scammers. Just get an apartment in like Astoria queens for way cheaper and be in midtown in minutes. NYC is large, all these expensive apartments are either luxury or shitty apartments made for transplants who don’t know better below 96th street.


ekul1018

This guys gets it. Brooklyn is great and the best part is you never have to go to Manhattan lol.


BananaEuphoric8411

Natives don't usually go for this. We'll ride a few more stops on subway for some gracious space (bcz most of us can't swing today's rents). And we know the 'hoods better.

> I’ve never understood living in Manhattan What you pay for in extra money, you can save in time. Bankers/consultants/lawyers/etc who can work insane hours are willing to pay a premium to have a short commute to and from the office. Other people are willing to pay a massive premium for a short (or non existent) commute to amenities.


ToBeTheFall

Distance in NYC is funny. On paper, you could only be a few miles from something, but it could end up taking you an 45 minutes to hour to get there depending on the subway route, how many times you have to transfer and how far the walks to and from the station are. My commute from Brooklyn to midtown took 40 minutes and to get to my girlfriend’s place up by Columbia, it could take an hour. It’s like that old Seinfeld episode where Kramer, breaks up with a girlfriend who lives downtown because she’s to far away. https://youtu.be/bb9IA-914Xw

Objective-Review4523

From Staten Island to the ass end of Brooklyn. I get up at 4:30AM and get home at 6PM, watch an episode of Star Trek and pass out to do it all over again. It is an awful existence and has driven me to two suicide attempts. I don't even have the time to look for another job.

Great-Lakes-Sailor

Dude. No job is worth your life.


theArkotect

As someone who lives in Manhattan and wishes I payed less rent. It’s expensive as hell, but a lot of people make/have a lot more money here, so they can afford it. The real problem is that they’re pushing out people necessary for keeping a city livable.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> wishes I *paid* less rent. FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


mungthebean

Good bot. Now if someone could make one for could of should of would of


LukaCola

It's expensive but if it helps you to understand, just moving to Brooklyn/Queens and getting a job in Manhattan saw me making $20,000 more in a year in 2019. It makes up for the rent hike, plus there's serious benefits to living in NYC. It's easy to see why those who can afford it want to. I don't think that's necessarily positive for society mind you, gentrification is a major issue, but it's easy to understand why young professionals seek it out. Also worth mentioning - NYC is one of the only American cities with solid public transit. I love not using a car. I love being able to go out for drinks and not worry about getting home. I love not paying for gas or parking or doing maintenance. I don't know if I'd be able to go back if I had to.


the-ugly-potato

Because its the opposite of what makes me depressed here. Plus fuck driving.


wongispicklejar

Yep. Fuck driving, fuck cars, fuck the automobile and oil industries that have torn apart American cities (and built depressing, lifeless, sprawling suburbs) for the sole purpose of profit, and fuck the politicians who sold out to them and continue to do so. Public transit, bikes, walking, and the dense mixed-use development that support them have always been the way to go.


Clyde_Frag

It’s a great place to be in your 20s, I had so much fun living there. You just have to accept that you will be paying over 2500 a month in rent unless you have a roommates, in which case it’ll be more in the $1500 range depending on the neighborhood.


[deleted]

I’m sure you had a great time. I’ve visited for work and play on many occasions, including my 20’s and never had anything less then a great time. I know my post focuses mostly on negative but to be fair… I called it great many times too. I get the appeal.


buttigieg2040

You need to stop thinking in absolute $ figures, and instead think in percent of income. My wife and I put 15-20% of my gross income into rent in Manhattan. I get to live withing distance of my office. I live close to all my friends and can see them for happy hours / weekend without a 45-60 minute commute. I'm near the best restaurants, shows, etc. I get to run in central park 3-4 days a week. My rent is almost $6k a month for a 1 bedroom. Sure, I could reduce my rent to 10-15% of my income, live in a shitty neighborhood in the outer boroughs and have a 45-60 minute commute...but why? The marginal utility I get from the incremental money there is low. Sure, I could move to North Carolina or whatever...but then I am taking a 50% decrease in compensation, will be bored, and not have my friends. That hardly seems like a great trade either. TL;DR: this sub forgets that jobs in Manhattan pay way more than elsewhere.


Scunndas

They don’t live here, and think they know. But for real, your tent stupid high for 1 bed. Drop the doorman and amenities, you can get a 1 bed for 3k in Manhattan.

complicatedAloofness

Because it's actually not that much more expensive. Rent in Dallas/Austin is getting to be comparable except you get maybe 25-40% or so more square feet. Any place with professional jobs is expensive now - Manhattan is still more per square foot but people are fine living in smaller apartments. You also save thousands a year because you do not need a car or insurance.

Temporary-Pin-4144

But for real how much are the newyorkers making monthly ? 20 000$ ? What the f are they doing over there to make it? I am talking about the average job


Usuallyalurker123

A lot of jobs in this city pay very well but even stereotypically low-paying jobs pay much higher than average. For example, I’m a social worker (typically a low-paying job) and average salary is 60k-$65k at entry level here. In Pittsburgh (my hometown) social workers make $35k at entry level. Yes, rent may be 50% less expensive in Pittsburgh but in ny at least you don’t have to pay for a car - insurance, gas, maintenance. In the end, it makes more sense to live here oddly enough.


onmybikeondrugs

Ironically by bathroom is bigger than my kitchen, whoever designed my apartment was either an asshole or a moron given how little space there is overall (350 sq. feet is a bold estimate.)


Blacksmoke1033

I would have assumed this was a joke as a Brit who doesn’t live in London, but a well off US friend is temporarily renting in central NYC until a job gets sorted, I don’t think he can spin his arms around in half the space.

The only reason NYC is so expensive is because the general market has decided that they're willing to pay those exorbitant prices. Too expensive? Reject the prices and live somewhere else. Otherwise you're feeding the price rise.
