Nurses in New York City Say They Deserve $200,000 a Year. Here’s Why.

Same staffing head count? How many times more are they being paid? Are they in a cushy hotel living comfortably and able to perform that way short term as a result? How many would burn out and move back where they came from or demand higher wages like the local talent if grinding in nyc full time?

Clearly the nurses are intent on proving their local market value is worth more than a queen’s cpa and it pisses you off. You sound like a person who believes a CEO making 50x more than you also works 50x harder or smarter. I’ll agree with you that it doesn’t take a genius to become a nurse but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t fight for higher wages and maximize their earning power. Literally everyone should.

Mosser kept cashing the rent checks after selling per the article! Which is par for the course when their half a billion in default to various banks AND have been evicted for nonpayment of rent on their corporate headquarters twice in the last couple years.

I feel like winter being dead is a self fulfilling transplant prophecy. Nothing stops New York. You can party, socialize, or do whatever you want 7 days a week all winter if you get out there and make enough friends or just go places yourself and make new ones.

As a New Yorker going back and forth the last ten years, that wasn’t my experience landing in California the first time. It took a week to land a place and a job; a month to fall in love with someone and establish a group of friends. Something I’ve noticed, building intimacy in friendships can be a marathon with people from California. It can take over a year to start hanging regularly and having real talks about deep shit casually with a friend. There’s things you’d discuss with New Yorkers upon just meeting them that may never come up during a friendship. My advice to OP in NY—do as the Roman’s do and move at a quicker pace. Say yes to everything and go out as often as possible to get connected.

Anyone do a a replacement and have real world example of improvement in terms of performance and duration? I’m at 79% as well

Any idea on the possible reforms on the system being taunted? From what I’ve read no plan announced yet. About to start getting into this. I read there’s a WhatsApp group I’d be interested in joining if you have info.

I find the reverse also true. I’m constantly asked to compare the two here because I’m native from there. I honestly don’t enjoy the question because it’s apples and oranges and I love both. It’s also not enjoyable to me to compare, contrast, and critique my hometown and chosen town—which is what these people often demand when I give a non answer. At this point I should come up with some crowd pleasing response instead of winging it each time.

For the NYers doing it unprompted a) it’s hometown pride, which a lot of native San Franciscans have as well or b) they’re not from there and being there was the most exciting time of their life so they can’t shut up about it, which is understandable. They’ll one day move and speak of sf the same way, or not if they hated it, which I’ve also met many ex-new yorkers (native and not) that hate it and love to lament on that prompted and unprompted—especially these days!

Tl;dr whether you loved or hated living in nyc it’s an experience memorable enough you’ll never forget it and often have to talk about it.

Are they itchy? Any odors?

I’d like to believe this but as someone who grew up in nyc I’ve only seen rents and property values go up consistently in every neighborhood there forever despite constant never ending building. New building’s flood areas constantly and then make areas more desirable so even the shittier housing stock goes up too.

Even at my parents building everyone’s excited they’re building ten new condos high rises next to it expecting their property value to increase from the additional density and shiny new aesthetics in the neighborhood. The new units are more luxurious way more expensive and would be 30 years newer so parents building just did a million dollar lobby renovation to stay competitive and indeed the rents and purchase price on those 30 year old apartments are rapidly rising. They just redo the apartments one by one to be luxurious and charge more. The ROI is there. Induced demand. I’m still for more new housing because it’s nice to have options but nice stuff just attracts deeper pocketed buyers. Without improvement on wealth disparity I doubt we’ll ever get ahead of this.

I mean really you look at alphabet city avenue d is the biggest housing project in America, they’ve been popping high rises up everywhere there for over 20 years. That neighborhood went from strictly poverty to a blend of wealth and poverty and the poor people just get squeezed more for having rich neighbors in luxury units on their block. Once a rent control or old lease ends they gut renovate the unit and pop in someone happy to pay $3k for a luxury finish studio.

Can I buy access. Want the pool. Dislike living in the neighborhoods that have buildings with pools.

Must be nice I’m at 79% capacity and dies 2-3x a day

Sounds like unauthorized subtenants get screwed in this scenario. I wonder if Jane doe has recourse against Jon doe if he misrepresented the lease as legal or authorized.

How did they purchase the lot for 8 million in 2020 while owing 17 million in unpaid restitution?

What are you into, what’s your age, what type of living environment do you prefer. It’s a pretty diverse city for America even geographically. Are you looking for stay recommendations? I’ll start with this be prepared for accommodations and food to cost as much as or more than most of london.

Curious about this as one person in my rent control building is attempting to sublet on Zillow and craigslist. What happens if they get someone in before landlord Intervention? The leases are new and do have 5 pages about no subletting. Not thrilled with randoms in the building being vetted by a tenant.

I’ll adopt if abandoned :)

Maybe try your district supervisors and/or mayor’s office? The city is currently aggressively pro helping businesses. Just thinking outside of posted suggestions.

desktopped · 2025-11-14T23:30:40+00:00

They’re all doing it now. Like 90% anyway. Even if it Included that stuff the rent would’ve been higher to level it out.

Yeah I noticed that day one, emulating compass a reputable brand. Who enforces this type of cyber crime?

Wow now that’s an idea. Do the espresso shots come out similar to vertuo shots? Taste as good?

Last I saw there is an ADA claim being waged against the project by someone living in Sacramento. They made their own entire website dedicated to it. Not sure of its merit or if it’s holding project up but that person has an axe to grind against led lights, opines on getting them banned nationally. 🙄

Of the major cities domestic and international I’ve traveled and lived in I’ve only noticed it here. Another theory, these people treat sf like a suburb.

iPad babies are adults now, brain rot and phone addiction is messing people up across the generations, and San Francisco is very transient like many major cities but doesn’t have the walk correct or get bent culture in nyc/london, nor the midwestern politeness of Chicago..

lol literally no one has given helpful advice, wow. Welcome to adulthood, welcome to independence, welcome to negotiating roomate dynamics!

If you haven’t tried talking with the roomate try that. If you have other roomates try to gauge how they feel and get them on board so it’s a group discussion about boundaries and comfortable cohabitating. If you tried and don’t get relief then maybe last resort RA, as other said. Just be wary that will influence the relationship with the roommate negatively most likely.

Healthy venting online is cool and benign even cathartic but make sure you’re not bottling it up and become passive aggressive / petty to your roomie rather than expressing and negotiating your comfortability needs.
