      Foxy Jai that’s true. they’ve done a few in other places but I think there’s a real shock factor when seeing the rents for NYC and LA.
      I believe Refinery29 also has offices in those locations so it might be cheaper.
      I would love it if they did some random small city in upstate NY or something.

      If I'm not mistaken R29 is NY-based so from a production cost perspective it makes sense that most of the episodes are in NYC, with some New Jersey, LA, Texas exceptions. I still enjoy the variety of spaces and neighborhoods covered. I mean, there is House Hunters if people want to see more of a variety of geographical locations and their associated costs...

    Rename this video "What $2400 will get you in NYC." She has 2 other roommates, but the video only shows her space with one of the roommates. And they each only pay $1,200 (see 0:15). So no, it's NOT Outrageous rent for NYC. She's not a local, she went through a roommate service, and her apt is furnished, so she's actually getting a deal here. Another video Refinery29 put up showed a girl with more roommates and the full layout of the apt.
    Fyi in outer boroughs (and even Manhattan), you can find places where you will individually pay $850 to $1700 with a roommate or two. Depends how/where you look, if utilities are included, and if there's other amenities. It's about the hustle if you want something affordable between greedy landlords and the tens of thousands of inbound hoards competing with more savvy locals.
