    As someone who lives in much smaller cities, it's crazy to see how different things are there. In downtown there you said a sunlight window is kind of a luxury. Where I live, minimum wage is around $13 and hour, and rent for a 900 square foot apartment is about $900-$1000. Sunlight and open space windows are easy to come by, even downtown. I do live in a smaller city, so not as much available, but still more than enough. I rent a 3 bedroom updated house with huge garage, fireplace, one acre of land on the outskirts of the city for $1475. Plenty of shopping and restaurants not far, and driving isn't to grid locked on rush hour. New York is just such a different place for sure! For me, yeah being closer to downtown is convenient, but it should cost less for a smaller apartment with less quiet, louder neighborhoods, and most likely rats everywhere.

      The only change I'd make is recommend that instead of the double bed, she should get a tatami and shikibuton (Japanese futon). I have more space than she does, but I have this setup in my room. Every day, I simply roll the bed up, and it opens the space for other uses. (I personally use it as a small home gym.) Then, at night, I roll that bad boy back down.

That huge private patio is an amazing bonus and it has almost all the modern amenities you could want. Didn't notice if it had a dishwasher, disposal, or trash compactor. If you can find 2 other people you could live with, that one is certainly a steal of a deal. I'm not familiar with NY, so I'm not sure where Harlem is in relation to say, NYC, Manhattan, Soho, the Bronx, etc, or what the parking situation is like.

If you don't need to spend so much money, you don't need to earn so much. Actors crowd together paying $2,000 a piece for a shared small apartment while breaking their backs working restaurants or other jobs till they can break in. Often they go without meals. Wall St. makes great cash - but they do that wherever they live, most preferably in their mansions in Westchester or Connecticut. Give me an entire house with a view of mountains and forests, where I live now, freedom from fear and having to always lock the doors, freedom from the paranoia so necessary while walking the streets of NY, from from roaches, freedom from the stench of urine every time I use the subway, freedom from polluted air where you rush inside and shut the windows in order to be able to breathe, and a bowl of beans, and I'm happy.

      @@sadwoman4629 Most likely a broken smoke alarm, it's a pretty distinctive sound. But, yeah, if that happened regularly (especially if it was for the outer hallway and under the mercy of the landlord to fix), it would be pretty awful. Love the exposed bricks, though!

    I don't know why but I think the fire escapes by the windows are so cool and iconic to new york

    I love watching these videos. I could easily live alone in any of those places. I prefer seeing them lived in.

    The last one was by far the best. It also helped that she did such an amazing job decorating and utilizing every inch of the space! I love the collabs you do with Cash. It would be awesome to have a monthly collab with him.

    This makes me so glad I don't live in a big city. I'm glad it makes you guys happy but it's not for me. I'm paying $570 per month to buy a 3 bedroom 1 bath house on 1/2 acre of land in central Louisiana. Taxes, insurance and flood insurance included.

    What’s most important to me in a home is that I have at least one operable window in each room, great lighting ((preferably southern exposure) and doors to dip out to smell the air and touch the grass! I would never live in any city! Nice job doing your video though-good personalities and interesting!
