I live in Budapest and my rent is around 800 (conversion depending) I have a roommate and my bedroom is bigger than these apartments. big city, lots of opportunities, NYC is a scam.
The illegals get better housing than these people and for free. Heck these people living in over priced boxes are paying for those people to live in nice spacious hotel rooms and feed them and everything. Bet most of these people will vote for that commi guy too in the next election too.
The first two girls are very chaotic and absolutely poorly organized.
ironically jewish ppl tend to occupy people's spaces and expect someone doesnt move in lmao
www legend keep going 💪
lol, cuddling with Drew Barrimore, nice one.
Dude is just woke up drinking a truly lol
Cavolo quella è la bowery house, ci sono stato diverso tempo! quei soffitti a rete veramente inquietanti, un esperienza
How much money do ppl in New York earn to pay this amount of money just for the rent?
Ở Việt Nam vẫn sướng chán, giấc mơ Mỹ đây sao?
It can’t be sanitary having your dog in the bed, especially if you live in New York.
NYC people are crazy to spend up to 4,000 dollars to live in a prison cell size apartment
For 600$ a month you can live in a 2 bedroom condo or townhouse in southeast asia. And for 15k$ you can buy a low cost studio condo units that you can possibly rent out for 200$ a month. If you can work remotely, move to south east asia.
New York a.k.a Hong Kong 2.0
Claustrophobia 😮
I am not worried, in ten years nyc will be bankrupt sell off their art in the natural museum just like Detroit. Then million dollar condos will go for 500 bucks
Rent in Toronto 25yrs ago1550 for our 2 bedrooms.I wonder if same apt,at least 3500 I would think nowadays
At the end of the day there’s mad roaches 🪳 no ty‼️
The rent is absolutely bonkers in New York, how can people afford to live there?
I rent a room on PadSplit for $194 a week and I’d say I have more space than 80 percent of these “apartments”. That’s wild. And I’m in Tampa which has a pretty high cost of living when it comes to rent and it’s still way lower than these guys. That’s crazy. Just keeps me humble and reminds me things could always be worse! (Or more difficult I should say, not necessarily “worse”)
3:27 pego um avião agora e vou aí dormir no seu quartinho 😅
That's Auntie's 2nd child. She cares for Yue Yue like it's her own baby. That's her baby.❤
"it's good if you wanna make shit happen"
Girl, you don't live in a closet when you make shit happen…
The price seems steep for a room that small, but New York is different from other US cities – it's a hub for career advancement and future prospects.
I live in North Myrtle Beach,
SC and traffic is heavy here bc everyone is moving here in the last 3 years. I couldn’t stand living in such a little place bc I’m claustrophobic. I have a lot of respect for these people living their dreams—working so hard. They’re cool and make me feel like I gave up on my dream when I left Columbus, OH over 21 years ago so I could be near the beach. God bless them 🩵Thanks Drew for sharing
Did I mention, "I'm a stylist."
Get money from your boss, then give it to your landlord.sounds great
Is she a stylist?
Sithole NYC no one should live there
Giving away 85% of your monthly income for rent is brutal
The cat living in the Target guy's coffin= animal abuse. 💔
New Jersey e taşının
There about to be in a rude awakening to have a communist as mayor
I'd rather be homeless in Florida
New York- training people to overpay to be treated like shit. They think there is "opportunity" lol- feel for them.
And at the same time in the same area for some reason a bunch of social parasites are paing sub 1k for 2brm "rent stabilized"apts 🤣
