this is what $ 2,700 rent gets you in new york

That elitist ny mindset is something else like a high school graduate from there can just walk into a Houston hospital like "yo, Dr. Bailey, step aside, B. I'm from BX, I got this".

My man did come through with that superiority complex but I guess it's sort of warranted with all the NY hate on NT. I would love to live in NY though

Here's the other point you non-NYers don't seem to raise--anyone in NY can pick up their bags and move to your city and do it bigger than you can, they just chose not to because they want different things in life. Despite the fact you may think it's the wrong move to spend that much money to live here, until you can do it from a motivational and financial standpoint, you're just a dude on the sidelines.

You think it's difficult for someone with a career in NY to move elsewhere and take your jobs and do exactly what you're doing?

i love living in california, i could give a ish about paying for a view..

my girl and i are mostly at work and aren't just looking out the damn window. 

it just us 2 but even to us it's necessary to have a second bedroom along with a 2nd bath.

for a single dude that seems cool, but that price it ridiculous.

and i know theres some dudes on here that have their rent paid by mommy and daddy. 

 

[sooperhooper]

No hate tho, I'd love to live there for a year. From what I hear it's a diamond presser; the pressure brings out the best in you.

At the end of the day if you can afford the rent to live smack in the middle of everything in the city and your good career wise and stable then might as well.

If your struggling and I doubt that's the case as a poster in here mentioned earlier you need to make a certain amount times more then the rent but in a case where your struggling to pay the rent but want to live or project a "lifestyle" its not worth it but if that lifestyle is your reality then do your thing.

No matter what though its New York City and your paying for the location. I got a rent controlled apartment by Columbia (made a killing renting it out to tourists Super Bowl week) and will have another apartment in riverdale in my name once my uncle moves back to Puerto Rico.

Both spots are more uptown but the rent if someone random person wanted to move in would be higher then in other cities because of the location.

I live in LA, you see small houses by manhattan beach and nice areas like that costing alot due to location whereas for less you could get a nice house in the valley or some middle of nowhere state but the area is most likely boring and has nothing to offer.

 

[youngdoc]

As long as we're talking about real estate.

best place to look for reasonable rents in Los Angeles?

South LA formerly known as South Central

Probably the Valley is the most reasonable excluding the un desirable areas

 

[fontaine]

Y'all dudes man.

By the way, no one wants to live in Arizona / Michigan / the south / etc.

true story... the NY folks really think other people are just gonna slurp them because they from new York.

Naw, mayne... y'all trippin...

NY is cool... but let's not pretend as if people aren't living in NY because they made a mistake.

y'all trying to make it seem like everyone who isn't living in new York is doing it wrong...

@ a random Dr Bailey performing surgery... and Bronx's finest rolls up talking about "b"

No, but my guess is that that doctor's counterpart from NY has better credentials, works at a better hospital and is more qualified. I can only speak for the corporate world, but my equivalent working the same position as I do in Houston definitely isn't exposed to as substantive work as I am daily, and probably doesn't work as hard as I do either.

In sum, his life might be easier than mine at the moment--cost of living is lower in Houston, he works less, doesn't have to deal with this terrible weather in NY. But I'm pretty sure that if I ever decide to call it quits here, I can go over there (and to most places) and land the same gig pretty easily where he have a significantly more difficult time lateral-ing into a NY gig.

If I had to choose any other city to live in besides NYC, it would probably be San Francisco. Just recently went out there for work and it's awesome.

such a delayed trip for me, i was suppose to go to SF last year

i love NYC an based on what ive read etc, seems SF would be awesome

it really reminded me of a smaller scale NY with lots of character

hmmmm, and west coast weather and scenery

things is SF is even more expensive than NYC these days i think

Corporate world is much different.

A lot of big time hospitals are in smaller cities like Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MNF

Also Houston has the huge and very well known Texas Medical Center.

As far as medicine in major metros,Boston and Bay Area >> NYC

 

[air spider 777]

Jesus that's like my car note AND car insurance put together.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Just kidding bro... that's obviously a lot, but i'm guessing you're making good money! So props!

Yeah man, what can I say? haha Cant leave the Jeep on the street. People have no respect for your ****.

 

[yeezusdisciple]

It'd be cheaper for you to park your car in jersey for $125 a month and commute back and forth to use it

Dude can obviously afford it doe.

Props to him.

 

[mrdozo]

That's in the financial district bruh

You're next to everything and have every amenity available to you

if you need larger space, your money will stretch long in every other borough 

What about BJ's wholesale club tho?
I need my XL haagen dazs for $10.00 bruh

Have you ever even been to AZ, the A, Mia(south beach), or Tampa.  These are some of the dopiest places in the nation/world with the baddest women on planet earth

$2,700 says he's never been to Phoenix, Tempe or Scottsdale. 78 degrees outside right now.

Okay relax, AZ has nice weather and all and affordable apartments/condos.


Decent selection of women as well.


But I wouldn't want to live here forever.


Tempe is cool if you're a college student but reality is it's a racist *** town full of meth heads.


Plus it gets REALLY hot in the summer.


Scorpions.....


But if we're seriously comparing NY vs AZ, let's break it down shall we.

Diversity: NYC

Entertainment: NYC

Shopping: NYC

Women: NYC

Culture: NYC

Food: NYC

Job Market: NYC

Cost of Living: AZ

Schools: NYC

Weather: AZ, but I prefer colder climates, I'm guessing most like the heat so I gave it to AZ.

Proximity to other worthwhile places: AZ (Cali, Vegas, Mexico, Colorado) trumps (Canada, PA, Atlantic City).


So all things considered, speaking objectively. Having lived in both places. NYC wins by a damn near landslide victory.


Also once again, yet another thread where people compare their ENTIRE state to NYC.

And so incorrect it's laughable.

Just bc NYC is the center of the finance doesn't mean it's tops in every field

I love NYC and almost went there for residency but it's ridiculous the arrogance some NYers have

 

[diego]

Everybody want to be a NYer but don't nobody want to admit they not doing it like us.
