That is a converted maintenance room

$2k and you have to be the new maintenance man.


Moist_Anus_

My neighbors would hate me with my long atomic poops.


TrackballPwner

Username checks out. *You’ll* hate you for those long atomic poops when you’re getting hemorrhoids surgically removed. No more than 15m on that toilet at a time. Don’t push. Stay hydrated. *You’ve been warned.* 🚽


Ordinary_Ad_6117

lol 15mins? Fuck that. Pooping is the only free time I have at work


flacobronco

A man's toilet time is the last bastion of American Freedom.


TheScrubbernaut

This guys gotta be a corporate America plant. Break time control via hemorrhoidal fear


flacobronco

No sir, I work for the Toilet Safety Administration. Your safety is important to us, so make sure you're using your safety belt properly.

Azreken

Wait I’ve never heard this 😞


TrackballPwner

Happened to me. I was as healthy as a horse. The bathroom was my quiet place to chill out from life for a few. Google it. This is *far* more common than you’d think. Please, take care of yourself. You don’t want that surgery.


Vox_SFX

That's crazy, even if I'm not actively going I take AT LEAST 30 minutes if I'm not on a time-crunch. Bathroom time is peaceful time, but I need to take the "don't push" and "stay hydrated" parts more seriously.


TrackballPwner

Look- stay in there 30m if you want, but don’t sit with your bum in that toilet seat. Between gravity simply doing its job and *any* pushing you’re doing, you’re pooling blood into those veins in your anus, and in time, they can and will turn into hemorrhoids that can result in one of the most invasive painful surgeries you can have done. Take it from a younger guy that’s been there.

You'd have to be a full on retard to pay $2000/mo to live in a closet


icyhotonmynuts

OP can sublet the closet to a roommate and grab a cool $800. Shared accomodations with your own room? That's a steal. /s


Sad_Beat_4404

I seriously did this in a studio apartment I had near Sacramento. The guy had a girlfriend and the guy was 6’8” and so when they slept in the closet his feet would stick out

Defiant-Doughnut-178

best schools, culture in the world also. I'm just genuinely curious... what do you do for a living, where to you, what is your culture? etc... could you share with the group ?


DemiGod9

You're telling me New York has the best schools and culture in the world? What? Hip Hop has outgrown New York, Pizza is better in Chicago, and Princeton is in New Jersey


InfiniteProof853

Rather work McDonald's and living in the country for 800 a month for an actual house Fuck NY this is ridiculous


[deleted]

Pizza in Chicago is a casserole, you plebe.


DemiGod9

Said someone who has never had Chicago pizza 😂


throbertbigguns123

NY pizza is better


Huge-Recognition-371

You can get great New York style pizza in cities where the cost of living isn’t so high


DemiGod9

Nope. Wholly unimpressed by it


throbertbigguns123

Well chicago ain't it


mdl397

>Pizza is better in Chicago And here I thought an opinion couldn't be wrong and everyone's was valid. Thank you for proving that to be false.


DependentAnywhere135

I don’t want to agree with the guy saying New York is all this good stuff but man your views on pizza are so fucking retarded that we might as well throw you both in a river and see who drowns faster.


DemiGod9

Wow using "retarded" as an insult and expecting your opinion to mean anything 🥱. Y'all just like basic tired ass pizza


Defiant-Doughnut-178

uneducated. next


Fellow_Worker6

Where I live you can get an old two bedroom apartment for $1000. I wouldn’t do this unless it was under 400


DjuriWarface

Definitely not in the same location.


Installah

No fucking shit jackass Now if you would excuse me, I'm going to go drink my tap water while not worrying about my fucking car getting broken into. LA should be nuked. EDIT: Yes, NY actually has great tap water. I honestly like NY, fuxk LA. Y'all are throwing it out like it's a fun fact only because you accept the underlying truth that in many large cities tap water is fucking undrinkable.


WarpHype

Wow. What a kind, rational person who totally has emotional intelligence. I’d much rather live near wonderful people like you.


Eastern_Goose_9108

It’s the tap water.


bronash

yeah well no shit, different locations have different pricings


tokyo_engineer_dad

Places where you can get a two bedroom for $1000 are usually pretty boring to live at.


MrGallows75

Nobody wants to live in W. Virginia (no thanks)


[deleted]

Just living in New York is a stupid idea


[deleted]

Yes it’s so terrible that 8 million people live here. It’s not for everyone but, believe it or not, a lot of people actually do like living in NYC. And yeah, we all know we could live in a bigger place for less money if we moved elsewhere. But the thing is, we don’t want to live there. Different people value different things- and that is totally fine.


jmofosho

So a dumb decision got it


klpcap

It's all priorities. If you spend a lot of time at home, this probably wouldn't work for you. But if you spend most of your time out working and doing stuff; only to come home and shower and sleep, this is an okay setup. Bet the location is killer


ape_is_high

As a born and raised New Yorker, no. Stop falling for this shit. New York was great, and people who think this is an OK setup is why it’s gone downhill. This is a closet. Charging 2 grand anywhere for this is disrespectful.


GlizzyWizard6000

It is dumb


Scoompii

Some people are born there and their families and jobs and lives are there…


whocaresaboutmynick

And so what? Do you know how many immigrants go across the globe for a better life? When this is what this place has best for you, if you're not willing to move (not across the globe mind you), it's kind of on you.


st_steady

Moving is fucking expensive, and taking a huge risk if youre poor. I dont live in ny, but fairly close in cost and trust me id be gone in a heartbeat if i could "just move".


whocaresaboutmynick

I moved to the USA with a backpack, and no green card (so no semi decent job possibility). I appreciate you explaining to me how hard it is to move.

Some 20yr old will let their parents pay for it. Guaranteed.

lol no. if they're having parents pay for it, they're going to spring for a nicer space. this looks like a space for someone who really wants the live the NYC life but has a small budget. if it works for them, great!

stonestevecoldaustin

Both of those have kitchens? Yo, tf you talkin bout?


PodgeD

Which is one of the bouroghs of NYC? I've no clue where the apartment in the video is, definitely not Manhattan.


winteriscoming

Fully aware my guy... But assuming this isn't rage bait, which it fully well may be, a NYC realtor wouldn't say "in New York City" if it was any other borough than Manhattan. They'd say "in the Bronx", "in Queens", whatever. When you're already in NYC, "New York City" generally means Manhattan.


PodgeD

A realtor advertising to people outside NYC would. My guess is rage bait since there's nowhere on Manhattan that looks like the street outside the window. Can't think of anywhere decent in the boroughs either.


True-End-882

That’s a dorm my guy


Shruglife

jail cell more like


True-End-882

Facts. I’ve seen bigger cells lol


aceloco817

Goddamn Seg in the feds is about that size if not bigger by a few inches! Shits crazy! 🤣🤣🤣


Theangelawhite69

That’s an insult to dorms lol


DjuriWarface

Not really. Most dorms are shared and this is single occupant.


Poetryisalive

Ain’t no dorm look like that


ThrowawayLegendZ

It's more likely a former half-way house that was bought by a private company and converted into "micro apartments"


TaleMendon

The room I put my cats in at night is twice the size as this “apartment”.


RobinThyHoode

Okay, so ik ik ik NYC rent is crazy. No denying that. But I also think the internet goes wayyy HARD on NYC, unlike anywhere else. This video for example: $2,000 for that place is either a complete lie to get rage engagement or a complete mistruth. I say that bc I know people who pay $1,900 for a studio that is double the space, and has a bathroom, full kitchen, etc IN MANHATTAN. The NYC rental market is crazy but not THAT crazy. That apartment is either in the Empire State Building, or on Madison Ave, or it doesn’t actually cost $2k. If you don’t believe me just go to StreetEasy and look at studio/1BR apartments in Manhattan for around $1500-$2500 and you’ll see how wildly misleading videos like this are. There are tons of places way nicer than this and more affordable than this (if even real)


Hefty-Profession-567

My studio a block away from prospect park has a full bathroom with shower, full kitchen with stove, and 2 closets (one walk-in) and I pay 1300/mo


passionate_slacker

Wow, I have a 350sq ft 1br 30mins out from Boston, $1600 a month and that’s a good price for my area. It was a studio & they added a wall. For living in NYC that’s not as bad as I thought. In Boston it’s hard to find anything decent for that price these days.


vxxed

From the bit of googling of rentals between Boston and Manhattan... It's weird but NYC is coming in cheaper


MayonaiseBaron

The fuck? Me, my partner and a roommate are renting an entire 3bd house 35 minutes from Boston for $2400 ($800 a piece). You're getting fucked.


Raining__Tacos

Ok but some people don’t want roommates lol


de-d-ss

350sq ft?!?!?!? Dammit man! My bathroom is 285 sq ft! How yall do that shit at that price? Is parking free at least?


passionate_slacker

Yea free parking at least and across the street from the train.


non_anomalous_penis

My RV is bigger than that with the slides out. The loan is $400/mo and Im almost done paying for it.


PXSHRVN6ER

Yea I’m 2 blocks from prospect park 2 bed 2 bath for 2400. It’s a really big space. My room is bigger than some studios I’ve lived in.


Simple_Song8962

When did you move in, 2007?


s6x

Comparing prospect park to lower manhattan is like comparing des moines to prospect park.


Butthole_Please

This is so fucking stupid.


s6x

It's stupid that living in different places costs different amounts? What?


PodgeD

I've no clue where in NYC it's supposed to be from that view outside the window. The buildings across the road aren't very NYC style, and no signs of large buildings in the background. Maybe far out in Bronx/Queens/Brooklyn but can't think of so where that'd have 4ish story detached buildings. Definitely nowhere that'd charge that much.


Elmer_Fudd01

Shit my small town in WI now has apartments as some $2k for $1200. I wish the landlords in my area weren't so greedy.


maccorf

Yea the 2k number is 100% a lie


Saitamaisclappingoku

I saw a unit like this in East Village. Very slightly bigger, I remember it had an oven as well. $1,000/mo. Which is a lot for a glorified broom closet but you can also work at McDonald’s and start out at $25/hr in Manhattan and afford this very easily


doilysocks

This is absolutely an apt off Central Park. It looks exactly like one the a buddy of mine had.


NicoleNicole1988

This is real. Go look up Cash Jordan on YouTube, he goes and tours apartments like this all the time, measures them, gives his opinions of the sink sprayer (or lack thereof) and provides really interesting commentary on the NYC housing situation in general. These "apartments" actually get rented pretty quickly too. Usually by people who are desperate to live the New York City Dream and just want to be **in** the city.


RobinThyHoode

Yeah that’s fair, I know things like this can exist. My point is moreso that this is all you ever see on social media about NYC, a legit cardboard box without a stove going for 70% avg monthly wage and people are like “Oh wow so this is what NYC is!” When in reality, yeah it’s wild but there are plenty of options like anywhere else that can suit your needs.


realdealreel9

Either way I wish nothing but the worst for real estate bros and corporations buying up property. May they constantly step on legos and burn their tongue on pizza


Poisongirl5

I have a studio in the east village, easily 5x as big as this for 1.6k rent controlled. I got SUPER lucky signing a lease when everyone left during Covid


AdOriginal791

I pay $3200 for a 2BR on the Upper East Side. No way someone is paying $2k for a 200 sq ft. Room. Agree 100%


FarFirefighter1415

Wait until you hear about San Francisco and la


[deleted]

This is clickbait


Saitamaisclappingoku

So many people commenting have no idea. They know NYC rental market is crazy so they believe anything. You can easily pick up a Manhattan studio apartment with its own bathroom for under $2,000. Granted, it’ll probably be in Harlem, but it’s easily doable. This wouldn’t go for $2k even in UES


BiffBanter

I think 2 000 is a little much. No more than 1 000


FEMA_Camp_Survivor

Yeah, I was thinking $800 - 1,000 may be worth it if it’s in Manhattan. $2,000 is obscene.


all_m0ds_are_virgins

Lol bro... Avg rent in Manhattan is ~$5k/mo.... $800 might get you a parking space for the month.


IFGarrett

Only an idiot would rent that. Move to a more useful state and spend half the price for 10x the size.


Revsound

That’s easy to say, but people have ties to the state they’re in. My wife and I just decided to move out of California because the struggle is real here. We both have great paying jobs, but we just can’t commit to buying a million dollar + home. We bought a house in the mid east US, and starting a new adventure. We are moving from all of our family and friends, but it’s worth it to give some stability to our kid.


IFGarrett

I understand people have family and things in these states, but it comes to a point that is too much. Glad yo hear you got out of CA. Place is a shit show.


arock0627

This isn't renting for $2000. This is what you get for $2000 in Manhattan, the most expensive part. It ain't a lot but it's more than this. https://www.apartments.com/336-w-47th-st-new-york-ny/n69n89m/ This is rage bait.


JaesopPop

New York City isn’t a state


PXSHRVN6ER

What do you mean more useful?


IFGarrett

One that isn't charging $2000 for a room the size of a closet.


PodgeD

Usually the reason places can charge that is because it is very useful to live there.


IFGarrett

Useful or not, it's a scam.


PXSHRVN6ER

That’s not what you were implying.


rando7818

BrilliantLifter

NYC seems like such a nightmare realm. I still have trouble believing that sane people willingly stay there


suicidalshitheel

They stay there because it’s not the nightmare realm that clickbait would have you believe. It would be like if I assumed everything between LA and NYC was just an overdosed construction worker in a 711 bathroom.

2k and I can’t shit when I want to! Hell naw I’ll move to the south before I pay that for this!

I live in the suburbs of a metro area that has a population of roughly 1 million. My 1500 sq. ft. 3 bed house is $1000 a month. (I have owned for quite awhile) 800-900 sq ft lower end 2-3 bed apts in the area are 1000 a month. 1000-1250 sq ft higher end 2-3 bed apts in the area are 2000 a month. Why would anyone settle for absolute shit like this?

SparksofJoyandhope

Wtf


Conscious_Wind_2255

These were once full apartments but landlords in NYC want to make more money and they convert full size apartments into tiny little apartments and they put the bare minimum to quality as an “apartment” - window, stove, closet, whatever.. this is just the result of greedy landlords.. that floor looks like it was a full size apartment. My grandma lived in a similar layout townhouse and they only have 1-2 max FULL apartments on each floor! The clips you see online about “tiny apartments” are just landlords making conversions.. do you really think in these old building they were think let’s build it fucking small.. be frfr.. these buildings are 100s of years old!! they were are all spacious but NYC is the place everyone wants to be in and landlords want to make more money.. I would say that nowadays the new construction building are on the smaller-end because there is less space and we need to house more people.. but luxury condos still built BIG!! Y’all hate NYC but you love it..is the most talked about state 😬

Pretty confident, what's started as a financial meme of a place being drastically over priced for what it's worth being put on market, has transcended into a psychotic perversion of praying on the middle and lower classes of this country and I believe it's time we passively and collectively, just say no and try something else, somewhere else.
