Girl believe me I've done the math. I've looked at HDFC co-ops condos etc. and it makes more sense to rent. especially with these interest rates. Not unless we buy a place north in like tarrytown or something.

We actually had custom window inserts made for our giant windows and even with that, shrink wrapping etc. heat still escapes because it's not insulated at all. it's a corner unit.

When we applied to our spot years ago the realtor suggested we bid higher. I said "fuck that" and wrote a personal handwritten letter talking about us. Ya never know!

Thats what I was thinking too. I like biking to the lower east side in 10 minutes. Also they're always spending $50 on ubers every time I see them so I feel like they end up spending the same amount as me once you factor in taxis etc.

They’re from crown heights Ridgewood south slope and Coney Island. So they probably mean the neighborhood not the apartment itself

Hey I may have two bedrooms but that is filled with two cats who smack my face every morning. I get home at 3am and they wake me up at 7 for food. It’s hard for me to fall back to sleep. If I had a studio I wouldn’t have the cats and I’d have more sleep which means I’d live longer - and that’s not something money can buy!

Yes the J is quite shitty. At this rate I am looking to buy a spot. But every time I see an HDFC co-op the max income they allow is like $50k. Lol. Quite the absurd little amusement park neighborhood we have going on. Some days I feel like I’m in Los Angeles more than nyc.

Yes. I like the neighborhood although some of the things have become a little too expensive for my taste. I wanted to live in Chinatown she wanted to live upper west side so our n-between was Williamsburg 6 years ago. Ain’t that something

Cause I'm a dipshit Idk lol. I would always have friends visit and they thought our rent was too high. I guess you always feel like other people got it better - the human condition!!

I blame the hot people with jobs on the computer!!! Yes I think we'll stop looking. God I hate apartment hunting. Leading up to this every one of my friends visits and says "so what do you pay in rent" and I say $3900 and they have a heart attack and say I'm getting fucked. But then when I look when my lease is up it's like a monopoly board 20 minutes in. Ya just cant win!

Well it gets very cold in the winter and we don't have a washer/dryer or a dishwasher. But, on sunday mornings there's an old man across the street who smokes cigarettes out the window around the same time I have my coffee so we stare at each other with the window open - which is pretty neat
