NYC Apartments
December 20, 2009 198 CommentsReal estate in New York City is friggin expensive. Even with the rest of the country going into foreclosure all over the place as the recession/depression sinks in and all those second and third mortgages are finally catching up with people, pads in New York still cost an arm and a leg. So for my web talk show, I visited Tomkins Square Park in the East Village of Manhattan to talk to people about what they get for how much dough in terms of NYC apartments. It made for quite the thought-provoking video if I do say s(e)o myself. The best part was hearing about all the quirks that people had in their places. Stuff like staircases that go nowhere or bathtubs in the middle of a room: all these oddities come about as buildings are cut into smaller and smaller apartments so landlords or realtors can rent or sell more apartments in the same amount of space. This is just accepted as part of the culture here: you probably have some really weird apartment quirk. I happen to have a good amount of space here in Brooklyn, actually. That’s because I haven’t moved in about ten years though. That’s the key: to find a place you can stay in for a good long time, and just not move. The rents around you increase exponentially every year, and your neighborhood gets all gentrified as they all eventually do, and you end up sitting pretty with low rent and more space. That is, of course, if you can live with a stairway to nowhere in the middle of your living room. Otherwise, go live in Jersey. So – got any good social commentary about rents and of living where you live for my little web talk show? Feel free to share!
