The senior staff of CNBC has lost any shred of common sense peddling these terrible decision videos for our money to fuel this manufactured housing crisis grift

[@MrJest2]

Well, now we own a home we paid cash for, so it's not like we spend a lot of money on housing - just maintenance items and taxes (which are very minimal where we live). But these apartment prices are completely insane. I don't think I ever *grossed* much more in a month than this rent costs her - and while I made a decent amount of money in tech, my last salaried position was in the 1990s. I wonder what she eats or feeds her car with... to say nothing of doing laundry... My big issue with Miami is the friggin' _humidity_ , but then, 2/3 of the entire nation is too humid for my tastes. There is a reason we live in the high desert...

[@beyoutifulglam]

Omg please stop moving here. As a native Floridian, the price for rent is already over inflated. Then you have her talking about oh I offered over the monthly rent to secure the unit. Which empowers landlords to charge even more for these absurdly priced units. You have to be making phenomenal money, in order for $4100 to not make up a substantial portion of your income. I imagine if you’re not making near $200k you won’t even get approved. Landlords here require you make 3x rent, and many are demanding first, and last month’s rent plus a $2000 security deposit to even move in. South Florida is in a housing crisis and every year it gets worse.

This is the issue with renting. They keep putting all these stupid amenities in when people just want a decent sized apartment to live in. I'm based in London, UK and people have been complaining here about the apartments costs. My sister in america says people are complaining about them too. We dont need spas, clubhouses, private dining areas and events. They charge loads of extra fees for them too. We just want a long term rental that doesn't cost half the earth to afford.

[@02nupe]

I hear you, but as this example shows there are people who want and will pay for those amenities. Im sure the apartment building is over 90% occupied too even at those prices.

[@selfridgesforever4399]

@@02nupe I agree for some these amenities are useful and they're happy to pay for them. The problem is that when looking for apartments these are the main ones that are advertises. Any normal properties are taken quickly because landlords are selling up!

[@l2xsniper1]

There are more than enough choices in the US to not choose an apartment with those amenities - no one is forcing you to pick apt's that are ultra luxury. This apartment is in Brickell which is THE prime location in Miami right now.

[@WhiskeyNixon]

Except they don't want us. Profiting from land should be illegal. The land is all we have, and it's stewards should not be self-interested. Being a tenant is slavery at worst, indentured servitude at best. All land currently being sold and traded was originally taken from the commons without any compensation. The cash price was zero. Why them, and not me? Or you? Or all of us?

[@WhiskeyNixon]

​@@02nupe no, but landlords enjoy your trust. There are nine million more housing units than households in America (US Census) and an estimated 30 vacant bedrooms for every 1 homeless person.

For people who have never lived in any of the major 10 cities in America (I've lived in 4) please understand $4k in kansas in a 5 bedroom mansion is not the same as $4k in san Francisco or miami or new york. I own a property in Manhattan and bill my tenant $5k its a 1 bedroom but a 1 bedroom in manhattan varies (harlem or soho? Doorman or walk-up?) Also miami has had a major influx of rich new yorkers who have helped contribute to the rising living costs in all of Florida - so florida is still cheaper (tax wise) than living in a box in manhattan. Parking spots and balconys are normal amenities in almost all miami apartments whereas in new york these are not always offered and considered a luxury and 1 parking spot (not a covered garage) can on average raise your rent by $200/month in new york. So again for people not familiar with real estate in america or inflation, real estate is all about location not bedrooms or size. Blame the pandemic for real estate migration patterns and blame Biden for inflation, not the woman renting because she clearly has the money to pay for it. Let's not be bitter at her.

My mortgage for my 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, house with a garage and huge backyard is only $707 a month which does include taxes and insurance. My apartment was about to go up to $800 a month in 2023 after it was $500 in 2020. It just started going up every year until I had enough and started looking at houses. Best decision I made. The privacy is insane. I have a cat too and surprisingly, I didn't have to pay extra for her to live with me like in that apartment.

I'm a county over, and her rent is literally 4x my mortgage (I'm sure her salary is as well). Regardless, it is a nice apartment, especially for those who can afford it. The South Florida housing market is also indicative of what kind of population is desired for the area, both financially and aesthetically.

Yeah, that little ankle biter is most definitely not a service dog.

[@HearMyOpinionss]

Crazy what some people get for their money. I live in a 4500 Sq-Ft house with 2 car garage, large driveway and yard with a home value well over $2M and my mortgage is less then her rent. Her square-footage is like me living in my primary bedroom when including bathroom and walk-ins.. But to be honest, if I was single id love to rent that place for a year or 2, just at the original monthly rate of $3300.

Rent prices in Miami are skyrocketing; it's absolutely insane. It's heartbreaking for those earning an average wage. How can they possibly keep up with such inflation?

Half the people in Florida are on vacation and the other half are just as happy as she is? Hmmm very interested in how she got those stats...oh yeah, she's in Media Relations - that explains a lot 😂

A similar apartment to this in Bangkok would be like $1,000/month lol

What's the average salary in Bangkok my man?

the mental gymnastics people must go through to find this rent price reasonable

[@gatheredwisdom]

The reality of this is so sad that her backyard is a mall, not a park with grass and trees. The rental price and the mall will keep her broke.

[@GabrielaDey]

Her apartment is super nice and spacious. That bathroom 😍 I could never pay that much for an apartment though lol I moved from NYC to Orlando, FL a few months ago and I pay $2350 for a luxury 2 bedroom apt. I get to have a spare room for working and my music all while paying the same price I paid in NYC for my 1 bdr.

[@mcp_thats_me]

She left out the part where she’s probably still making her New York salary. $4k for a one bedroom apt is ridiculous. People like her,acting like this is a normal price is the reason why the people of Miami can’t afford to live in their own city.

[@carlosalenduran4630]

The apartment is gorgeous is very beautiful decorated I'm an interior designer in a home stage of it I'm sorry I would not pay $4,500 anywhere she could've got in a house without with her own pool

[@nateaustin6252]

What kind of job does she have that she thinks 4300 per month rent for a 1 bedroom is a good deal? Especially when her utilities are less than 150...

[@TomikaKelly]

The one that she currently has right now that is affording her that lifestyle

[@j.c.maxena5352]

I think what a lot of folks in the comments get wrong about her spending 4K on an apartment is they see it from a utility stand point and that it is exorbitant to pay that much for a one-bedroom apartment but for her, she's willing to pay 4k for a life that makes her happy. She's paying for happiness.

[@queen.kristal8395]

yeah but it is set for ruin imagine her losing her job there is no way she'll be able to pay with most jobs even if she found another one and if she does have money saved will be gone in 2-3 months

[@thekingcandyman]

@@queen.kristal8395 disagree because i pay similar in houston and once you get in that type of environment everyone around you is making money and pulls you up. I actually made/saved more than when i was paying cheaper rent because the environment makes you hustle and he networking is unmatched. When i was paying cheap rent no one around me was doing anything or making any money. In the more expensive place everyone in the area is an entrepreneur or a high level exec that you meet so it pushes you to get on their level. She will not go broke and probably saves 15-20k a month.
