NYC is good if you're poor and the city hands you everything and you couldn't get all of that elsewhere (on the UWS I noticed one of the public housing areas had both parking and a pool, both of which are rare for market apartments except for very high end buildings) or rich as fuck. $100k is just that salary where you'll get absolutely nothing but not wealthy enough that you can actually appreciate the luxury stuff either. Yet, at $100k you could live a pretty great life in a place like Cleveland or the Atlanta area or whatever.
But to answer your q - if you're smart you find a rent stabilized apartments or you live in Hoboken/Jersey City. If you're dumb you live in some apartment you can't actually afford but get roommates and deal with that drama. You feel pretty poor and are budgeting everything. |
