My one-bedroom apartment in southwest Missouri costs less now than I paid to sleep on a guy's living room floor in Manhattan in 1986. No lie. $400 in 2024 vs. $500 in 1986. (The average cost for a one-bedroom apartment in my town is about $850. I've got a great deal in a very old building.)

You are living for less in southwest Missouri than you did living here in New York City - but but but you are also living in a much more boring place than here in exciting New York with our world-class museums and concerts and opera and ballet and culture and street fairs and parades and events.

[@stephendunn4073]

One other major factor that is affecting the whole of the US, Canada, & even Europe is the change in housing size demand. The demand for 4-5 Bedroom units from the Millennial/Gen Z pop is much lower while 1-2 Beds have a substantially higher demand. We dont just need to build more, but reshape the existing. Families have less people than before and many housing units were built decades ago for larger families

It’s not only New York City it’s Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Miami, and most of Florida in that matter the state of Maine Boston practically the entire country. And it’s not just the US that has this problem when I look at all these cities and countries that have an all-time inflation with a terrible homeless situation With people sleeping on the streets, trash everywhere, piss and shit on the sidewalk and alleyways with crumbled infrastructure and disgusting living conditions and no affordable living anywhere. When you connect the dots it’s very clear that it’s not a left right issue a geographic issue or any form of government or so it’s a population issue. There are too many people on the planet and the world running out of resources. so another words we are overpopulated and there are not enough homes for everyone because if they are building more and more houses apartments, businesses and roads changing the climate and we still have a home shortage then it’s overpopulated and there aren’t enough homes for everyone and keep hearing and seeing the same topics over and over and over

I left NY in 2004. I was born there. I loved Long Island where I grew up. And could & did rent a cheap (crappie but decent) apartment in Manhattan. It was on the lower east side in around 1980 - not a good neighborhood, but cool & affordable. Ended up in Westchester with family life - middle to upper middle class. When I sold our house in 2004, I couldn't have afforded to buy it! I don't know how all the rich people are going to find anyone to do any of the work for them now. Police, firefighters, sanitation workers, maids, cooks, nannies etc simply can't afford it anymore. It began with gentrifying every neighborhood to the point that it forced out so many. I barely recognize the gritty but beautiful and exciting city I lived in & around for 40 years. It's sad really.

People talk about crime as if it was the worse thing in the world. But it did allow many people to stay. Of course some people got killed, but not on the level of those who left. So you can effectively get rid of poor people by raising rents vs being in a crime neighborhood that they have adjust themselves to coop. But at least they can live in the city vs being forced into a city where they must drive everywhere.

[@nelsfrye8570]

Media and young intellectuals live there, so it will always be portrayed as a huge problem. Why can't other cities be made to have the same advantages of NYC? The real reason people want to live there is that it's the only escape in America from the endless stretch of highway, parking lot, suburban subdivision, and strip mall. The only place you can walk around rather than being stuck in a car. Yes, there are areas of Boston, DC, etc., but NYC is the only real city.

You can’t afford a 3k apartment here if you make 130k a year. Whoever did the math is still getting allowance from daddy. To afford a 3k unit comfortably here (meaning you are saving, paying student loans, bills, having a basic nyc social life, traveling 1-2 times a year and not living paycheck to paycheck) you’d have make at least $180k

[@thomasgrabkowski8283]

Not to mention owning property, which is something people from elsewhere traditionally aspire to. In NYC, it is something only possible for people that are very rich

And don’t forget being taxed heavily by 3 different entities, if you live in NYC and if you’re in Jersey but work in NYC. 😡

True, but it’s based on a general rule of thumb that doesn’t take into account taxes and other expenses as those can differ from person to person.

[@marquiswhite]

@@OverEast34 the “general rule of thumb” hasn’t been accurate in at least a decade. And obviously everyone’s situation is different, that’s why I’m saying what’s generally comfortable.

I am living well in NYC and am NOT rich. It is possible to find an affordable apartment and live well. Difficult, but possible. It took me five weeks to find my place, but I did it. You just need to work at it, as a full time job, until you find it.

[@istvanpraha]

Random thoughts: 1) the taxes are insane. You need to make 120K to survive but that is taxed like you're a rich person. I got a raise from 120K to 130K and it was like $200 more a month after taxes. Adding SS + medicaid + NY short term disability tax + NYS + NYC tax, it is almost 50 tax rate. 2) Diversity? Not really anymore. Everyone being from Central America and speaking Spanish is not only not diversity, but making me feel like an outsider.

​@@titanicisshit1647 Correct. NYC house prices being high is fine. There are more houses relative to population now than ever before. If people want houses for very less prices relative to salaries then they should buy in small towns, Not in the global cities. I keep seeing people of global cities complaining that they had to leave their city due to un-affordability. Well, people in small towns and villages also have to leave their home towns because of lack of jobs. The root cause for both the issues is the same. Jobs being concentrated in one place. Either spread the jobs or let the global cities be unaffordable. No one has a right (even people who grew up there) to global city if all jobs are concentrated there.
