[@nez01]

I think the main part of this video was that you find out that your mom is right after all

[@TheBadgrl18]

The fact that these are the options available for the price of $6000 USD/month solidifies my point that NYC is not worth living in.

[@KaitiYoo]

honestly facts

[@janaross]

Everyone’s priorities are different, and NYC is cool as hell! Most diverse city in the world, which in itself is thrilling imo. I take the train in as often as I can for the incredible food, indie movie theaters, concerts, great live theatre, the list goes on and on. Last time I was there, I stumbled on a public outdoor roller skating rink with a million disco balls hung over it, and they were playing the new Beyoncé album front to back with people skating and losing their minds in the best way. I also love visiting states with tons of nature and wide open spaces. There are lots of ways to live a life☀️

[@ssc6386]

I wouldn’t want to live there simply because of the rampant violence and anti Asian attacks

i live in nolita/chinatown, super close to les, soho, and decently close to east village; I pay 1700 a month with my partner, so 850 each lol looking for in-unit laundry and a doorman is why these prices are so crazy, but hey if she can afford the luxury

[@clarity1984]

I can't believe how messy some of those apartments were, you'd think they would tidy them up a bit before showing them LOL This was such an entertaining video, loved it!

[@maryceliaagim2690]

literally what i was just about to comment😢😂

[@Ankouorheappiesearomyife]

I don’t know if this is the case in this video but other apartment hunting videos I have watched when the people toured they went into someone’s apartment ( there lease was up soon ) because that was going to be the space that they were going to live in.

[@floseven]

Came here to comment this too it’s so crazy

[@CornInButter]

As a native New Yorker, I would never live in the city unless I received affordable housing units. Small, old apartments, parking is a nightmare. With 6k as my budget, I would live in any luxurary apartments in LIC or hip part of Brooklyn. Within 30 minutes to Manhattan, but rent is so much cheaper and apartments are a lot nicer.

[@ebsxnysii]

Thank you for your advice/opinion. Do you have any other things to share/give advice?

[@aarovision.]

@@ebsxnysii use listing projects and Craigslist (vet everything) to find apartments. Also Astoria and places deeper in Brooklyn care worth checking out!

[@isisgullette6428]

6k is an absolute insane amount to spend on rent, especially if you’re not splitting it with a roommate😵‍💫 I’m glad you’re able to afford that but God that’s so bleak

[@twesaruby7471]

That’s a 2 month worth of mortgage payment lol

[@205555]

I agree. The price tags for these apartments are criminally high

[@kymraf4786]

I pay less per YEAR in rent than she would per month 😳

[@Jefferson_starkid]

yes lol my rent is 675 and even that is sliiiiightly out of my budget omg

[@mgiag99]

$6,000 is insane! I can't believe how expensive most Manhattan apartments are. For people potentially wanting to move to NYC, there are definitely some very nice apartments within safe neighborhoods, without roommates, for more affordable prices.

[@ericatv44]

Right, I also freaked out when I heard abt the budget...😅

[@user-qu8zs7vs1x]

Yeah she's just flaunting her money basically

[@izzywoods794]

mrs yoo is an icon. and the dedication to filming a vlog during 72 hr apt hunting, and then editing it with the subway theme. also icon

[@heresalook]

I love that you kept that NYC subway look throughout all the editing in this 😍 we love a theme!

[@KaitiYoo]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR NOTICING keeping that aesthetic was TOP priority 😌

[@lr5848]

I could not imagine spending 6000 on rent. I'm a teacher in Germany, we are on the middle-higher spectrum of wages at about 3-5k before taxes (about 2,1-3,5k after taxes). My rent is pretty high at 900per month. I don't know how people are able to spend that much. NY is a money processing machine.

[@Violchen]

right ?! makes one apreciate the rent prices here 😅

[@kymraf4786]

Right, my rent is $475 and it is a 2bd 1 bathroom house (with decent size living room, a kitchen, a laundry room, basement, back porch). It's in Kansas but still... I pay less in rent per year than she would in one month!

[@ShayaA284]

Tbh, I don't even think a NYC apartments being expensive is in itself a problem, but the fact that you receive something that is barely okay/good for so much money is crazy 😧

[@Blahgirl283]

Yes. For 6k I would think it would be the largest flats. The most luxurious of rent buildings - nyc, Manhattan is crazy for that

[@hafusan]

me, a European, who has been living in the 5th floor of different houses for their entire 30 years of life: :| (watching Kaiti rejecting a "gorgeous" apartment for that) How? Why? As if light doses of cardio isn't good for you! It's not that bad. No, you don't get used to it but come on!

[@KaitiYoo]

HAHAHAH YOU CALLED ME OUT

[@lamureon]

it's even the 6th floor us :D I agree

[@abigailnr]

No elevator is crazy though. What if you get injured and cant walk up the stairs. Or if you have disabled or elderly visitors

[@lidiabidia105]

I thought the same thing ahaha, I would move apartments by myself up 4/5 flights of stairs, you get used to it!

[@lamureon]

@@abigailnr you don't get disabled visitors ;D but crutches.. it sucks but you just suffer. most of the time it's fine

[@micahsnow346]

Wow ok 😂 so I love Kaiti but I gotta say that this is an extremely atypical experience she’s had here. When I moved to NYC I wasn’t even hoping to get in-house laundry or modern renovations and I was totally prepared to be sharing the space with roommates and to not have the best lighting or live in the best part of town. And even with all that, I felt extremely lucky and blessed to be living in the city at all. Obviously Kaiti’s circumstances are different since she’s an influencer and actually needs to have a beautiful space for shooting - I’m not trying to shame anybody here. But I think it’s encouraging to know that if you’re willing to no make some more compromises you can live in NYC for a lot less and still very much enjoy your life here! Also, it can sometimes take months to find an apartment here so it’s hard not to be discouraged but if you really want to move here, stick it out and pray for the best :)

[@morgan3llis001]

100% I've never paid more than $900 a month in rent and only have two roommates... most my friends are in the same situation. You can make it more affordable if you need to!

[@OrangeGraffiti]

It's taken me a while to watch this video because HARD SAME. I'm halfway through the video and she hasn't even left Manhattan yet T_T of course it's gonna be super expensive! I'm trying to not pass judgement, of course she has her needs but giving yourself 72 hours with such a huge budget seems... silly. I lived in NYC for 3 months, squatting in a strangers living room while I apartment hunted (it shouldn't take that long, I had just ended up befriending the stranger and we both didn't mind if I took my time). I ended up finding a super cute and modern apartment in Queens for $850, steps away from trains that could take me into Manhattan, and with two roommates. Taking your time to sift through all the options helps you find that diamond in the rough :) EDIT: girl, you only looked in Manhattah?! Ah... she'll see the beauty of the other boroughs as she lives there (hopefully) haha

[@micahsnow346]

Yeah I still managed to get a place in Manhattan but I'm always looking into options in other boroughs bc it is pricy...if you're willing to commute you can get even better accommodations deeper into Brooklyn, Queens, etc.

[@Msskellington12]

your mom is so pretty the whole video is literally a treat… im fangirling so hard for senny omg

[@charlesdale1428]

In New York there is a rule that you have to make 40X what the monthly rent is to qualify so $6,000 a month X 40 = $240,000. The median income in NYC is $60,000 a year. I would imagine the percent of New Yorkers making $240,000 is 1-2%. This mother/daughter team is eating out, taking Ubers, etc. so they must have ALOT of money. I live in Rego Park Queens, nice neighborhood, quiet, safe, convenient to stores, mass transit, schools, medical, etc. in a full two bedroom apt. on the 14th floor, good view, corner apt., 2 elevators, security that acts as a doorman, laundry room on the main floor, buildings have a gym and the buildings are co-ops but since I have been living here since 1975, I still rent as most of the longer living tenants here. My apt. Is rent stabilized and I pay $628.56 a month, gas and electric included and repairs, if needed, are also included. Management treats the tenants and shareholders the same, very well. I will never give this apt. up. The rents in this video are INSANE! It only takes me about 30 minutes to get to Manhattan.

[@liyre4189]

My jaw literally dropped at the 6k budget and all the amenities they wanted. Wow. I really want to know what they do for a living to be able to afford that

[@chloeshih]

damn girl you went through the HOOPS finding your apartment! those prices are terrifying. i'm so glad you finally got a place!! big big milestone!

[@KaitiYoo]

THANK YOU CHLOEEEE

[@khz41423]

i remember going apartment hunting (3BR, $6000 budget) in nyc and things were just so insane; units went on and off the market almost instantly, units listed for different prices by different realtors, people were handing in applications at the open house, 6-floor walk-ups, absurdly designed rooms or hallways. there was one unit where the floor was tilted and they had to assure us that our furniture wouldnt just slide down the incline

[@angeladonato5096]

10:56 I actually live near a cemetery and it’s not bad actually. Definitely quiet which I consider a selling point.

[@DearDora]

The editing 🙌🙌

[@jolly7728]

Only thing is if you have a ton of money, you'll likely want to buy a luxury apartment/townhouse, and then the price point will be more than you are budgeted for. So, you'll need even more money to get what you want to buy -- and you'll probably never have enough money. And if, somehow, you do, then you'll likely be working all the time and won't be able to enjoy your home, and...and...and. Here’s a thought. Get two units: buy an affordable luxury unit in Greenwich, CT (for half the price), and then take the train into the City. Rent a tiny, safe, comfortable unit in NYC (with the other half), if you want to stay there overnight a couple of times a week. You'll likely do better with your taxes 'cause you’ll own one of the units (check with your professional tax preparer).
