You’re making me grapple with how expensive housing is here. A down payment for a two bedroom apartment in Brooklyn is going to be like $100-200k.
It’s fine, I tell myself. I can walk to everything I need and take transit to everything else.
If you’re living in Brooklyn and not making six figures, you don’t need to be living in Brooklyn.
I went to school in Brooklyn. Where should I have lived?
What does that have to do with it?
You suggested only people making six figures should live in Brooklyn. So when I was a grad student going to school on Brooklyn, where should I have lived?
As a child or in college?
Apartments here are ridiculous. I can get a home loan with payments half of a comparable apartment. Yes, I would be responsible for maintenance but I’ve owned before and it is still less expensive than renting even with maintenance.
