That's a little misleading. The NY apartment is actually 6k per month ($1500.00 is only his share). I would love to see what a real $1500.00 apartment in NYC looks like...oh wait...there isn't one.

Crabby Piper it’s in an abandoned storage facility. Sorry there’s no stove!

[@nou2149]

Aishoo 1234 isnt that where you live?

[@monetteshia]

The title said 1500 rent. It did not say apt. Lol..we assumed what it would be.

[@carlynicoletownes2274]

T. Monet based on the fact that every other episode showed a whole apartment worth the amount quoted. This is still Misleading no matter what you want to say.

[@denkoumasato]

So... Nobody else is going to point out that the NYC apt is actually 6000/month for a 4-bedroom? Just because you can say it's split 1500/month per person doesn't make that apartment a viable comparison to a 1500/month 1-bedroom in Houston.

[@GlobalBitez]

Denkou Masato if we were comparing $6k apartments 4 bed rooms in Houston it would be a mansion compared to nyc

[@RocknCorruptrepublic]

1500 might not even get you a 1BR in nyc lol (maybe outside of manhattan). That's kinda the point I think, just comparing on price tag how far will your money get you?

[@snoflake82]

The comparison was what you get for $1500/month. In NYC it means you get roommates.

[@denkoumasato]

Exactly, but at least it would be an accurate comparison of what $6000 can get you in one city compared to another. Not this "$1000 can get you this in one city, but $1000 (+3 other friends paying that much) can get you THIS! It's a straight comparison!"

[@AArrad]

Tone Combs I lived in a $12 thousand (a month) apartment in NYC for 6 years and it’s not that bad, I feel like people just need to go to NYC to grow opportunity when their careers are on an exponential slope, not the start of them but 10 years in for example. The apartment was 19N at the Corinthian in Manhattan and it was decent, had a view of the Hudson across the entirety except for a little part blocked by another skyscraper (far away); I even saw the CocaCola red sign across the river (I think that was in Queens). Apartment had 3 bathrooms with 2 rooms, one small extra room (big enough for a good sized living room, a SMALL kitchen but out of the way, a wide hall way, and a huge living and dining room combined which is where the oval glass view of the river was. Most young people think the top location is NYC and sure, urbanization of a population is good but NYC is an example where it starts to get too congested.

Rent in Houston is still more expensive than smaller cities. I'm in Houston now, but when I lived in Kansas city rent for a 1 bedroom (utilities included) was $500. Nowadays in Houston a 1 bedroom is near twice that amount and don't include utilities.

Actually the Bronx and queens is just as expensive honestly. The only way you won’t pay to live in NY is if you’re on public assistance living in a nyc housing apartment. Every part of nyc is expensive. I just moved form nyc to PA.

[@laurenmichaud537]

He did say he lives on the upper east side (UES). $1500 for a shared bedroom is a steal. Studios start at $2500. Single bedrooms are $3200. So yeah....it's a steal. 1. Living on the UES isn't cheap 2. You have to be making well north of 6 figures (200k-300k) to live well on the UES 3. Living in Manhattan is not for wealth building unless #2 applies to you or living in Manhattan is required for work (finance sector). Even if a job pays you 2x more in Manhattan than Houston, you will pay 2-3x more for everything (groceries, transportation, restaurants, drinks, rent). Name it - it will cost more. Own a car and want to garage it? $600/month. Going out with friends to drink? $100 minimum. This city is not for the faint of heart or light of wallet. - UES New Yorker

[@sybrix]

In 2009-2013 I shared studio apartments in SF with my best friend and then my bf for around 1450 a month, and we actually thought THAT was highway robbery. The rents are astronomical now, and I know damn well people aren't magically making 2x their wages in 5 years, so obviously people can't pay that and have to go somewhere else. I moved to Utah and over the course of 4 years downtown apartments have risen to nearly the same damn amount as we were paying in SF back then. We looked into moving somewhere else but every city with a booming job market is the same story. So I accepted a job offer in SF and we're moving back to the bay area trying to find the most affordable neighborhood. I'd love to go were rent is $700 but there aren't any jobs for me in those places.

The guy in the NYC apartment is getting swindled . “You can’t find big bedrooms in nyc” is a huge lie. It’s just that people are killing themselves over wanting to live literally in the middle of Manhattan, when they could be paying the same in the outer boroughs for an actual apartment with a decent sized bedroom and kitchen and living room. Taking the train for 30 minutes is not a big deal. He could be saving thousands. It’s not super rare to have washer and dryer in your apartment. It feels like deep down he knows that his living situation is unnecessary and overpriced, and spends the video trying to make up for it by using “but it’s nyc”.... like no... it’s the upper west side.

[@danielvutran]

30m train.. 1hr both ways. 7 hours *minimum* a week (if u go out w/ friend)’s, 30hrs a month. Commuting.. ave. Pay is easily $30+ in NY. $1000~ in “time-spent, commuting” - thx, no thx. -x,d’”,”

I live in Houston and lived in NYC most of my life. You really can't compare NYC to Houston. If I were single, I'd do my best to live in NYC. The nightlife, restaurant scene, events and museums are incomparable. What I miss most are the long walks - from Wall St to Harlem. Houston is one strip mall after another and very few places where people walk around.

[@tomiesto240]

'the museums' LOL how many times do you need to go to those? how big of a role in your lifes architecture do museums play? if Houston had the edge in the museums department, would that tip the scales for you? #freak

[@khayes0213]

@tomiesto240 when I lived in New York as an art student those museums meant everything to me. I will forever love The Met

[@SVTHiyyih]

I would agree with the strip mall thing about Houston if you’re living in the suburbs, but if you live downtown there’s a lot of things to do and a lot of nightlife

[@reggieclarke2036]

Museums aren't just places where you go once, come back and is the same 5 years later. Most museums have different exhibits which attract the same people coming back every few months. If museums were stagnant, why would be people pay so much money for a membership. Then you have museums like the Cloisters which is like a sanctuary within a large city. As I mentioned, if you're young, NYC is a better place because how many young people can't afford these Houston "top chef" restaurants ? Yes, there are great inexpensive restaurants in Houston but they are spread out. If you want to bar hop, hit a bunch of different eateries, and then hit a club without driving here and there, NYC has Houston beat by far.

[@nozrep]

the part they don't tell you in this video is how rent in downtown houston has increased about at least 100% over the last ten years ($750 to $1500) because all these folks from different states are moving here for cheap rent and instead it's just increasing it again for everybody in houston

[@chanelnoelle4127]

nozrep everyone is moving to Brooklyn and doing the same to New Yorkers. It is what it is.

[@RagingBad]

nozrep same here in Florida

[@nkbr2015]

Same with Nashville

[@alexisrenee6965]

Very true. Got out the Army and was shocked at how expensive apartments had gotten. While house hunting the realtor told me the price of home were going up in all the big cities in Texas due to Cali people moving to the state.

[@Simplysooney]

The apartment we rented 7 years ago was 720 a month, now that same apartment is over $1200.

[@saharsahar5222]

I live in a 3 bedroom and two washroom apartment in Toronto. The bedrooms are huge. Huge kitchen and even bigger living room and dining room. Our rent is 1,300.00 everything included, so water electricity and there’s no limit on warm or cold water.

[@oggyreidmore]

For the money, Houston is better, but keep in mind New York City has four times the population in a geographic area half the size of Houston. For $1500 a month in my town in Alabama, I could buy a 4br/3ba house on a half acre lot. Then again, there are more people just in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens than in my entire state...it's all about demand.

[@inspectorsock3944]

Man, that’s crazy! How is your cousin doing? Y’all got married! So happy for you two. You’re gonna have beautiful children!

I happen to live in a town with more rocket scientists per capita than anywhere else in the country. Not all Alabamians are inbred country bumpkins, just like not all sock puppets are pedophiles.

For 1500/month i can get around 12 houses for rent across the border from texas.

[@Artistimistic]

Not to mention NYC is technically $6,000 total

Change the title to "$6000 - $1500 New York vs Houston"

kjre jn I know right?! Whoever thought of the title should be fired LOL!

I live in NY And there is NO Possible way you can Find a 1500 $ apt.

[@Meli-mu5se]

Obviously people who live in nyc are paying more for the location

[@robertc6382]

But with that much overcrowding and high prices you have to start to wonder is it even worth it anymore? It’s definitely not for everyone.

[@hogatiwash7750]

secret rent is only high because they’re the most desirable places in the country to live...

[@ekklesiast]

Brian Huffman no, it's high because of regulations.

[@tennisdude52278]

Melly J What’s so great about NYC? The horrific traffic? Chronically late subways? Sidewalks you can barely walk down without slamming into people? The only good thing you can say about it is they have nice restaurants.

As a native New Yorker I can honestly say living in Houston is much better.

I work in the apartment industry in Houston and this is exactly the reason why it’s so easy for me to “sell” the community with all the amenities to anyone that comes from up north! Houston has NY beat by a landslide!

$6,000 for rent in NYC. for that you can live in a mansion in Houston

Moved to Texas from New York. Pay less then this for my mortgage on my home. I'd never move back. Only would come back to visit.

Where in Texas?

[@skytelle]

@@novalune444 almost any city. Houston for example.. search www.har.com to look at homes for sale. Its not always the bedroom and bathroom count. Its the sq footage, and many homes will come with an office, and/or gameroom. For $1500 mortage, you can easily get 2,000 sq ft house, 2 car garage, and a community club house and pool.
