    Just started, but I LOVE the graphic on the top corner during the tour. I have a difficult time connecting the videos with layouts when I watch tours from brokers, YTers, etc.. or look at street easy, I wish more people did this.

      Very cool and in 12:33 formative! Definitely, felt like I could "see it" and be there.. Shocked that you didn't select any --truthful disclosure on length and duration of hunt helped. So did "compare and contrast".even if in some cases it's 🍅s and 🍊s.

    1 bedroom for 4-5k dollars to rent? I live in Copenhagen, Denmark one of the richest and expensive countries in the world. But that seems out of this world - how can people afford it? And even if they can afford it - why would they rent instead of owning if they have that sort of money?
    The most crazy prices we have here are like 2.5 k for 1 bedroom maximum. But I think the average is about 2 k for a two bedroom apartment.

      its a business district, so it has a lot of office buildings and less of the trendy restaurants, shops, bars. During the weekday it's filled with office workers and tourists. During the nights or weekends, it gets incredibly quiet. I've lived in two diff apartments in Fidi, and I personally LOVED it!

    $50,000 a year out the window isn't really worth it. I'd rather live with several roommates like a refugee for 5 years, then buy a small studio in Yorkville, UES with $200k cash at the end of that. Then your coop fee/mortgage will only be like $1200 a month and all of that is forced savings and your equity will be great in 10 years. I can't imagine just burning that much cash each year for NYC. If anything, move to central NJ or PA, live for cheap and come into NYC whenever you want. NYC isn't that amazing for $50k a year. I'm a native New Yorker for what it's worth.
