$1,500 Rent: New York Vs. Houston 

I would love to see a 6k apartment in houston

Crabby Piper it’s in an abandoned storage facility. Sorry there’s no stove!

Aishoo 1234 isnt that where you live?

The title said 1500 rent. It did not say apt. Lol..we assumed what it would be.

T. Monet based on the fact that every other episode showed a whole apartment worth the amount quoted. This is still Misleading no matter what you want to say.

Was that per week or month because why did it say 6000 total? Oh my bad probably becuas e4 people

1,500 is considered cheap over here 😭

@@casey9559 the rent was 1500 per person, he was living with 3 other people witch totaled to 6000 in rent

Jaelon Clouser imagine if somebody moved out

A VERLEY it’s because he lives in the city I whole 1 bedroom in The Bronx for 1300

Shantrell Young but when your born here its a lituation.

Los Angeles the best place

@@oknadboksieovdw7296 debatable

I’m from here and trust me your right

Trust me it’s worth it having grown up here

Kelvin T Garcia acevedo good luck finding an apartment in Houston that’s $6,000 😂

You can rent a full floor for that kind of money, I'm not even kidding that's the going rate for a lower valley full floor apartment, add another two grand and you can get a down town full floor.

One Park Place. Check that out

Camaroni1000 you could try the aris or the market square tower. Hannover

That would be a high rise condo in Houston.

Denkou Masato if we were comparing $6k apartments 4 bed rooms in Houston it would be a mansion compared to nyc

1500 might not even get you a 1BR in nyc lol (maybe outside of manhattan). That's kinda the point I think, just comparing on price tag how far will your money get you?

The comparison was what you get for $1500/month. In NYC it means you get roommates.

Exactly, but at least it would be an accurate comparison of what $6000 can get you in one city compared to another. Not this "$1000 can get you this in one city, but $1000 (+3 other friends paying that much) can get you THIS! It's a straight comparison!"

6K a month in Houston will get you a suite the size of the entire floor in NYC...

I don’t think they can even find an apartment for $1500 in nyc most are at least $2500+

Could not agree more. This guy is paying 1500 to live with 4 men, while she has her own place with twice the space. Not even comparable.

Cat Som You're right. I'm from NYC and there is nothing under $2,000 no matter where you're at.

mine is $1380 for a 3 bedroom

not for me

He probably moved into it awhile back (NYC has rent control).

no, his portion of it is $1,500. he shares it with his roommates ($1,500 each). the girl from houston pays $1,500 by herself. tbh, you probably can't get an apartment for $1,500 in NYC. it's damn near impossible in boston and NYC is just worse.

Kristina Milani 1500 dollars in nyc does not exist... except somewhere lost in new york

Alexis you can get a one bedroom in Jamaica basically the hood for 1500 or the projects

You cant get an apartment in New York for 1,500.

Colin we got that here in Houston Texas too

As a Texan from Dallas, I agree life is good.

@@diegogamarra2928 I'm from Houston too....what supermarket pays you 50k to pack groceries?

Australia has the big steroid bugs and a lot of wildlife I’m Gucci!! 👌🏽

Australia is just British Texas

Nightcore Natalie lmao that you think la takes care of their homeless. They won't even allow homeless people to park tiny homes built by charities for them there.

lol facts

Justin Y. You can’t afford metal in Los Angeles for that

San fransico is more expensive

Nightcore Natalie lol like LA people care about their homeless people

DMS Inc. Thank you you're not the only one to notice that thank you thank you thank you I saw that and I was like that's not a $1,500 apartment that's a $6,000 a month apartment. But it looks like there's only three of them sharing it so maybe it's actually only 4500 but still that's a lot of damn money to throw at just renting. I live in Phoenix I have a three-bedroom two-bath it's about $1,100. Complex isn't that old we have a pool I have my own washer and dryer wood floors you know the usual

Thing is, one is in NYC, and the other is in Houston.

that’s why he said “it’s a steal” look out buzzfeed you’re exposed

1720 for 1bed room and 1 bathroom no balcony in San José ca. In downtown.

gayboyzig ”The Bronx” rather have Queens or Long Island

its because he's in a popular area in Manhattan. Take a 30 min train ride to Queens or the Bronx and you can find rooms to rent for 600-950.

Where do u live?

I thought California was bad, paying 600$ to rent a room. Damn.

Emily Young where do you live lol? 600 is definitely possible to find in California but you’re incredibly more likely to find a one bedroom for around 800 at the absolutely lowest going up to usually no more than 1100 depending on what city you’re trying to reside.

Im currently in Illinois and my rent is essentialy $0.

I guess you have to put that in perspective... NYC is known all around the world... NYC is still less expensive than Hong-kong... but I admit anyway that prices are crazy...

Patrice Gallini Does anyone actually enjoy living in Hong Kong.

@@nemesiszer0708 Well I'm sure they did until a few days ago lmao

Evan Oh yeah with the new law I would never live there, can’t keep my mouth shut I guess. But even outside of that Hong Kong is crazy expensive to live in.

Yea but it’s Houston

How sad.

Callie Masters ha! I recognize you name from Jon Olssons vlog. How in the hell did we end up on this random vlog together? I guess YT is promoting this video.

yeah, but you still have to live in Houston

Oh yeah, who would want to spend an substantial less amount of money for a similar lifestyle? Not worth the money to live in NYC unless you are loaded.

I'm from NYC. Moved to Houston and never looked back.

AnhViet Tran not from Houston but used to live in NY and New York is trash af

funny that i'm seeing this comment because i almost moved into there. im right down the road from you. 7970 grand!

Roaches are easy to get rid of. Rats however are not. I'll take a roach for $995 Alex. LOL

Yesss I love living in the Woodlands in Texas. I live about 35 miles from Katy. You can get a nice apartment with your own garage space

Katy is Katy, TX...it’s not Houston. Just like Round Rock isn’t Austin. Of course the outskirts are cheaper. You pay for location & to have easy access to the things in the city

I live in Uvalde, Tx, a few hours away from Houston, and pay $690 for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. Not a lot of perks, but the building is nice, and we live in town.

I think the only magic happening in that guys room involves two guys with small poles.

Go to Mexico, it is even more affordable. The poorer a place, the cheaper it is - RULE OF THUMB.

@@halfvolley11 so Houston is poor 😮

@@Babyblue3333 Compared to New York City, yes it is - check GDP numbers for proof!!

@@Babyblue3333 definitely not poor . Houston alone is beigger than New York the state itself

Matt Havens uhhhm actually this is one of the most populated states in the US sooo...

Matt Havens it’s also at least a four bedroom so consider that

But it's split between 3 of them

DarthAwesome _ acting like that means its nice to live in

Don’t have to pay rent when you *ded*

EXECPT VOTING FOR TRUMP LOL

@@waelmostafa2222 umm Houston voted blue

Don't vote for what you fled for!

@@waelmostafa2222 you’re clueless

You'd be wrong, San Fransico is still a place in America.

Facts😩💯

Game Head try moving to Maryland

Tokyo, and, LONDON are worst than NY Paris, Sydney, Singapour are a little better than NY but still

secret lol wrong

Rakion09214 just don't spend all your money or else you won't be happy lol

You are correct even though our opinions are different your moral i agree with it completely

Sounds grand until someone gets sick or loses their job and you have no savings or get married and have no down payment for a house.

Stephanie Yen how about Newburgh

Dont forget to factor NY city and state taxes stealing an additional 12 percent of your hard earned money.

JusticeAndrew Well but I think the idea is that you can see what 1,5k/Month gets you. The best alternatives

that makes it worse

I was just about to comment this.

Red Sox! Lmao u prob live in the middle of Montana

Expensive af 😥

Stole the words right from my mouth. Well done

Elie K. It is and for some reason cheaper too

Yup, and weirder I should know.😂

I’m dirty minded a thought of something else when I read this and everything is bigger in Texas I live in Houston Texas

😂😂😂

Thats the charm

Hong Kong is No.1 when it comes to this tho lol

Lol you’re lucky if your rent is $1000 in manhattan. Average for a room in a 3 or 4 bdrm is like $1500

Stop complaining at least nyc is not hong kong 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Aaron Glisson Pretty much

sashandify they are moving to Brooklyn and Queens, and the rent prices are skyrocketing

yea that is why i don't particularly care for stories like this. it's pretty false. most transplants live like this . a few do it for a year then move somewhere else. but they come to new york for the experience. they had to have made good money but live there instead of the boroughs.

Facts!!

I lived in an outer borough so its pretty mich like being in the suburbs. Id rather be in the heart of a smaller city.

Unfortunately they’re all moving to Brooklyn. There are these new apartments for sale in Crown Heights and the starting price is $1.5 Million.

DAMNIT I just commented that

Haha nice one 😂

Oliver Queen Lol ikr

unCrownD I guess you were a tad too late

Oliver Queen I mean YEAH, but no? Lol I understand why that stereotype exists, but like no at the same time Anyways, hope y’all have a good day/night🌸💛

So as a person like yourself, That has lived there you think New York City is just better off being visited rather than living there? I have always wanted to move there.

Nashville born and raised over here too !!!

I agree...nobody should have to live with so much discomfort...1500 dollars is a good bit of money. Sharing with 3 others is crazy, what happens to privacy all those things are sacrificed and he thinks it's great. Like you have options Mann..I mean if u must wrk there then okay you might not have a choice...other than that..this through that.. impressing ppl with a dryer and washer ..n I Am from a shithole country 😐😐😐 according to your President . Wow that's quite a system.

I live a little north of Nashville! I moved from Dallas to here a few years ago and as much as Texas still has my heart, the people in Tennessee are just amazingly nice.

I’ve lived in metro Nashville my whole life. I’m about to move into a 2 bed 2 bath house in Antioch (which is 10 min outside of Nashville) that a friend and I were able to get for $1000 per month. I hope to work in the theatre industry, so I’m not looking forward to paying those prices if I make my way up to New York.

Basically a mansion. Or penthouse

Yep. Houston is the best, its why I love living in the lone star state

Tone Combs I lived in a $12 thousand (a month) apartment in NYC for 6 years and it’s not that bad, I feel like people just need to go to NYC to grow opportunity when their careers are on an exponential slope, not the start of them but 10 years in for example. The apartment was 19N at the Corinthian in Manhattan and it was decent, had a view of the Hudson across the entirety except for a little part blocked by another skyscraper (far away); I even saw the CocaCola red sign across the river (I think that was in Queens). Apartment had 3 bathrooms with 2 rooms, one small extra room (big enough for a good sized living room, a SMALL kitchen but out of the way, a wide hall way, and a huge living and dining room combined which is where the oval glass view of the river was. Most young people think the top location is NYC and sure, urbanization of a population is good but NYC is an example where it starts to get too congested. People need to move evenly through cities which control prices and living conditions, helping the economy and themselves. But that won’t happen anytime soon.

Exactly.

Tone Combs I agree, this video is pointless. You can't get a 1500 dollar apartment in NY. Your point is well-taken. Bogus comparison.

Diane Albrecht housotn is very cultural to you just NEED a car in order to be able to do anything or go anywhere

Ummm obviously haven't made friends with Houston people cuz we got a lot of culture and things to do

Tea Time OP didn’t deny that Houston DOESNT have culture New York is just- melting pot-culture haven

Houston is more cultural tbh

Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the U.S. #1 in Texas, prob in U.S

InATimelyFashion I'm not a home owner. Is that relatively cheap or expensive??

In my opinion... for Houston it’s middle of the road.

You can find plenty of 6K/m rentals in Midtown and the Heights. I'm a renter and live in Montrose. Trust me.

Rinzler oh really? Why would you pay that much rent though, why not just own a home.

InATimelyFashion Not everyone wants to be locked down to one place for 30 years

Erika Lopez nawfwest

Me

💗

Erika Lopez here

Right here

lifeisablessing He said Upper East Side and I’m surprised because you would expect the rent to be significantly higher for the size.

lifeisablessing Brooklyn definitely. I would say Bushwick more than likely or Bed-Stuy.

lifeisablessing That is if that were to be in a 1 bed or 2 bed. But he is subletting a room in a 4 bed apartment which is 6k per month.

Well rent is 6000 but each Person in the apartment pays 1500

He found the unicorn of apartments!!

He was most likely born in the US to Indian immigrants.

@@forrestliu5783 He looks mixed. Maybe half Indian.

Felix Ortiz it is a steal

Felix Ortiz here in nyc mostly for 1500 you only find a 2 bedroom apartment

He’s definitely Pakistani but born here and for manhattan that’s pretty cheap

jessica Shakur yep, and I don’t know about every apartment complex in Houston, but we have a room with washers and dryers

Yep,its called a mexican.

Jesus Christ LMAOO YES theres hella hispanics over here 😭

jessica Shakur Congrats 💁🏾‍♀️

Jesus Christ don't forget about the lawnmower people lmao

If you want to live in New York that's what you get for 1,500.

Exactly D To99.

So glad my city has options...in Indianapolis, With 1500 In you can either be in the heart of downtown with a luxurious comfortable sized apartment, rent a 3 bedroom nice sized town home, or be renting a nice house in the suburbs.

Anna Draper it’s not, you get way less

Same

Keisha Charmaine broadway for me

Keisha Charmaine exactly...I just left NYC and moved to va. I have a 3bdrm 2bath apt for 1104 a month. (worth it)

Keisha Charmaine Opportunity, historic city, beautiful place. It’s just kind of expensive and small, stuff you can expect with big cities.

Cause quenns get the money

Been here all my life.. Its overrated and expensive!

Nicole Collins obviously it’s not just where you live.. it’s the industry, opportunities, schools why people live there

Again cheaper

Ostentatious Savant lets all be real..Houston sucks

Yeah but then you’d be in Houston and not New York

Exactly I pay $1200.00 for my place and I have a washer and dryer and my own garage... Houston tx baby

But are there any $1500 apartments on Manhattan?

there are, but they're few and far between. It also wouldn't have been much of a tour for the video. One room, loft bed, maybe a sink if you're lucky, shared hall bathroom. That's what $1500 can get you in manhattan on your own.

$6,000 is a really beautiful home in Houston.

No rentals for 6k in Houston, you'd be getting a huge house like 10k square feet for that price. I own a 3000 square foot home in Houston and pay two grand a month for mortgage.

You can't because a $1500 apartment doesn't exist in Manhattan so they had to find someone who is paying that much as their part split with roommates.

Tiarra Eshone exactly !! That’s why I left houston to Vegas ! Houston rent is wayyy to expensive!! I found a house in Vegas for 800 leas than an apartment in houston!!!

Tiarra Eshone I'd rather live in New York than in Vegas

Dapper Don lol that’s fine if u have the money. But the heat doesn’t bother me 🤷‍♀️

khen bernardino fr they have the BEST houses here and for cheap. I can’t wait to get one next year 😍

Tiarra Eshone where in Vegas do you live?

Toronto will end up exactly like NYC anyways.

Ive never related more to a comment

@@tenko5541 True.

me liking your comment from italy

Canada most be like Houston Texas when it comes to the price of rent but its like nyc

It wouldn't be so bad if we had decent public transportation

filosophy not your country

i don't like cities like Houston because of that, gotta drive EVERYWHERE unless you live Downtown. It's a hassle and makes you gain weight to not be able to walk to the store.

Lmao WE COMING DOWN THERE !!!

I live in houston and I can agree traffic is super bad

Yeah i was thinking the same thing like wow what an awesome rug

anne arlequin it depends on where you live and if its by lets say a freeway it may tend to be alittle pricy

😂 right ..when did it become about the furniture

Y'all have to cut me some slack, I was being sarcastic haha the rug does feel nice on your toes though!

Most of them end up living with a roommate

isn't it just nyc though mostly? what about renting in different parts of ny and commute to job in nyc ?

xyoopridex i live in the outer NYC boroughs and its equally as unaffordable and mass transit is really bad outside of Manhattan

hmm, should I just get a job in nyc, rent a place somewhere in NJ close to ny port authority and commute...

nyc the playground for rich ppl

I did a premove visit but the heat and humidity was so bad I changed my mind on moving to Houston. Nice city though

Temi Mayor if you live hear for about 30yrs and never stepped foot in any other costal climate it’s not so bad.

As a houstonian I can say I totally-*phone overheats*

I live in Miami and I'll take the humidity over the cold.

Oh definitely it’s hot as hell

But he is...I don't get what you're trying to say. He lives with 4 roommates and each pay 1500. So the total rent is 6000

Emma Brown My bad, if he didn't share his rent.

No, he’s just be living in a studio/one bedroom not on the expensive Upper East Side of NYC.

The Man I pay 975 for a 2 room house in ny lol it depends on the area. Manhattan its extremely expensive.. and nop I do not live in the hood

with enough space for a desk😂

steffi lmaooooo u said it best 🙌🙌🙌

Texas one of the most populated states in the US only way price would significantly go up is if the population absolutely out grew the amount of housing available which is pretty unlikely

Yes !!! Lol htown is already too packed already 😰

Right!

WhatEvenIsThis _ Say that to anyone who lives in Austin Texas... Our prices are going significantly up because of all the californians moving here...

Raven same! Well I pay like 1,300 and I’m at the village on the lake. Where do you stay?

Yo i live in orchard lakes in sugar land basically Houston

I didn’t expect Houston to be trending I love Houston

I live in clear lake too wtf small world

I pay 1500 for rent and I have a 3 bedroom house in S w Houston

Bronx and Queens isn't trendy...yet. LIC and Astoria being exceptions.

Cafelogis I've lived in Astoria for 15 years n I can confirm its gettin expensive

Studios in even the sketchiest Bronx neighborhoods cost 1.5k now.

Actually the Bronx and queens is just as expensive honestly. The only way you won’t pay to live in NY is if you’re on public assistance living in a nyc housing apartment. Every part of nyc is expensive. I just moved form nyc to PA.

@@BeyondBeauty20 You can still find some decent priced gems in Woodside and Sunnyside. But that won't last too long.

UnovaTrainerWhite ik houston be dragging nyc

Hey at least NYC had a wine cooler😂

Houston, Texas BABY

UnovaTrainerWhite #htx 🔥

Rent in Houston is still more expensive than smaller cities. I'm in Houston now, but when I lived in Kansas city rent for a 1 bedroom (utilities included) was $500. Nowadays in Houston a 1 bedroom is near twice that amount and don't include utilities.

Josh Haydon im glad people are thinking smart as well we need like a capicity limit where people from other states dont come n stay

The secret is out! You'll have overpriced apartments with reclaimed wood furniture and Edison bulbs in no time!

Josh Haydon foreal, we don't need more traffic lol

and you are proud of this why?

TheSinisterEyes1 Please tell me where in the short sentence that I wrote did I say I was proud of how high the rent is?

Is this dog friendly and have good schools nearby?

In 2009-2013 I shared studio apartments in SF with my best friend and then my bf for around 1450 a month, and we actually thought THAT was highway robbery. The rents are astronomical now, and I know damn well people aren't magically making 2x their wages in 5 years, so obviously people can't pay that and have to go somewhere else. I moved to Utah and over the course of 4 years downtown apartments have risen to nearly the same damn amount as we were paying in SF back then. We looked into moving somewhere else but every city with a booming job market is the same story. So I accepted a job offer in SF and we're moving back to the bay area trying to find the most affordable neighborhood. I'd love to go were rent is $700 but there aren't any jobs for me in those places.

Yeah cause he basically getting robbed

He did say he lives on the upper east side (UES). $1500 for a shared bedroom is a steal. Studios start at $2500. Single bedrooms are $3200. So yeah....it's a steal. 1. Living on the UES isn't cheap 2. You have to be making well north of 6 figures (200k-300k) to live well on the UES 3. Living in Manhattan is not for wealth building unless #2 applies to you or living in Manhattan is required for work (finance sector). Even if a job pays you 2x more in Manhattan than Houston, you will pay 2-3x more for everything (groceries, transportation, restaurants, drinks, rent). Name it - it will cost more. Own a car and want to garage it? $600/month. Going out with friends to drink? $100 minimum. This city is not for the faint of heart or light of wallet. - UES New Yorker

because they're stealing from him 😂

PrincessRiners i live in Texas and we have the cheapest houses in the United states #houston

northeast coast is expensive, southeast is just fine lol

We may have cheap housing,but not a lot of nightlife. Everything closes after 2am.

Myrse Valentine Lol 2 am is when I go out

southeast isn’t nearly as expensive as northeast

Fajitahmed ermmm I don’t see how it’s biased. It’s the truth lol NYC is super expensive and it’s not the best living conditions. I personally hate going to NYC and I live 20 mins away from Manhattan lol

Then move where it's cheaper. If you can't afford to live somewhere, you can't afford to live somehwere.

That's why I just bought a house lol. Less than 1200 a month for a 3 bedroom house just outside of houston.

Fajitahmed how

outn?

Jacy Fang I think they’re basing it off of 1bedroom worth of rent

Either way Houston still had the better deal

My rent is 1380 for a 3 bedroom apartment which is pretty big

well clearly you've never seen my apartment for only $1380 a month, 2BA 3BR 1Balcony, surrounded by 3 parks and 1 upcoming park, a huge soccer field, coulee basketball and handball courts, also surrounded by restaurants and a bunch of food, a gym, and 2 clinics

Puspita Esha that's what you are paying, not the total rent so yea that could be nice

😂😂😂 true.

This is the only thing I quote Madonna on, but she said NYC is the greatest place if you're rich & the worst if you're poor.

Neither California nor Nevada

your not from nyc stfu ok. My family is poor but we own a house in queens. You shoud reword that. Dont live in manhattan

Bollywood Media girl you not lying

GoldenFerrari778 Not necessarily. I live in the South Bronx and my area is quickly becoming gentrified. People who have lived in my building for decades are being kicked in favor of people like the guy in this video who don't mind paying $1,500 a month to "make due" with an apartment they can't even turn around in. Also, your family can't be that poor if you own a house.

Stephanie Reyes 😎😎😎

Stephanie Reyes yeeeeaaaa

GO STROS

Stephanie Reyes 🤘🏿

One apartment is 4 bedrooms and the other is 1-2

thats because there are no 1500 dollar apartments in manhattan anymore, specially upper east side

But the $6000 apartment is much worse than the $1500 . Like what you mean

And the 1500$ is better too. Its sad. Makes you wonder Why people live in NYC.

Not really but still tho

Giovanna Rodriguez obviously u haven’t been to LA

Dang a lil too late for that my guy

To bad

Welcome to Houston, where everyone constantly says no to the idea of commuter rail or any good public transit or walkable, dense neighborhoods in the city yet they complain nonstop about something as petty as traffic... i mean talk about childish

i am from Colombia and you dont know whats is a traffic jam

classic buzzfeed

I lived in Nyc for over 20 years. 1500 a months does not even get u a full studio. U would have a rented bedroom in someone else’s apartment.

kev2020 VERY VERY misleading. As person born and raised in NYC this pisses me off. That was a $6k NYC apartment, would love to see how luxurious a $6k apartment in that other city was.

they are finally shutting it down and converting it

SayItLOUD ! That is not true at all, I’ve lived at nyc and Houston, it takes forever to get to one place to the other in nyc, it’s even faster to just walk, but at Houston there is traffic but it’s a lot faster than walking

It's true. Not only from ny but from all over. People seem to be wanting to move to houston more and more. We are packed

Everyone is trying to escape california

Californians need to stay in their state, they are driving up the prices all over Texas, and are voting for the same mess that messed up their state and turning Texas blue.

*flashback of Harvey*

Harvey didn’t kill us so we all still goin strong!💪🏼

Great Harvey joke lol!

harvey made me reconsider living here. what a damn nightmare lol

Where I am from, $240,000 will get u a abt 250 sq.feet apartment

A 3 bedroom townhouse in New York costs more like 500,000+

Abbey Chan dang that’s depressing

My dad paid 80 grand for a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house in puerto rico

U good, you can only buy a one bedroom apartment with 245,000 if your lucky 😅

really texas is at its capacity? so inbetween the major cities are not filled? hmmmmmm i beg the differ

joshua lee Houston is at capacity

Too late. Texas is becoming the go to place to move to. Born and raised in Houston and I can't imagine relying on public transportation or putting more cars on the roads. Glad i work offshore and not having to drive in it every day. Houston is forever under construction.

ever been on 59 on a Saturday afternoon?

Shiloh Audet seriously. Keep these northerners out of here haha

Mariah Evely That's awesome!

Girl u must live east side or super DT bc I live off Mopac /360 and pay 1300 for a 1

davis drake I just love when my family comes down to visit and they’re amazzzzed by the difference between north eastern living and south eastern living

Chelsea people from Texas are so loving. New Yorkers are like get tf away we can’t fit 😂😂

Michael Naness I agree but I’m a nice New Yorker!

Chelsea There's no such thing as a nice New Yorker.

Michael Naness New Yorkers are assholes, they pride themselves on how much of a prick they can be to a person.

Just subscribed your channel. Please make a apartment tour video. I am going to watch all three video once I am home in the evening.

30m train.. 1hr both ways. 7 hours *minimum* a week (if u go out w/ friend)’s, 30hrs a month. Commuting.. ave. Pay is easily $30+ in NY. $1000~ in “time-spent, commuting” - thx, no thx. -x,d’”,”

This comment gets it. I live in the Bronx my previous apartment that I lived in was $2500 a month for a 4 bedroom. If you live in Manhattan that $2500 will get you a nice roach infested shack

oh good to know! I thought the whole NY is hella expensive like this one in this vid.

I'm saying! He reminded me of a desperate salesman.

danielvutran Nope. Unlimited subway + bus pass costs only ~125/month.

Ritz Kola lol i pay $100 for a studio

The most they can charge you for a 1 bedroom is 1000

Xavier George 100 for a studio where? In ny?

Ritz Kola we’ll it goes by your income so if your making over 1800$ worth of rent you might wanna move out of the projects, at that point it’s a choice . . . 🤷🏽‍♀️ just sayin

Des you’re talking about NY?

Man, that’s crazy! How is your cousin doing? Y’all got married! So happy for you two. You’re gonna have beautiful children!

I happen to live in a town with more rocket scientists per capita than anywhere else in the country. Not all Alabamians are inbred country bumpkins, just like not all sock puppets are pedophiles.

For 1500/month i can get around 12 houses for rent across the border from texas.

In fairness, They both showed off their usable space. The lady in Huston showed off the pool and gym which is shared. Just like that guy's kitchen and living room.

My point exactly. But Buzzfeed is hipster land. The cultureless yuppies on the staff don't venture out of Manhattan unless it's Williamsburg, Brooklyn. That's all they know. There are tons of one bedrooms in other boroughs in NYC for $1500. But the neighborhoods are filled with too many minorities for them I guess.

they showed areas he shares with roomates, it should have been compared with a $6,000 Houston apartment and compare everything inside and amenities.

for the $1,500 he also gains access to the shared spaces, so they are important to show because he still pays for these..

You can't compare the two and it is in no way the same. A kitchen and a living room are standard living features, but a pool and a gym are luxuries/amenities. Not sure why they did such a terrible comparison. Maybe they didn't want to show a $1,500 solo NY apartment or a $6,000 shared Houston apartment because of how low the value is in NY. Another reason they could have also done it because it would get more people chatting on how the comparison makes little sense (more chatter/comments = the video doing better in the RU-vid algorithm). That would not be a nice thing to do as they're manipulating and giving us a skewed view for their personal gain (I'm just speculating here though). That aside, I've never been to Houston but I've lived in NY, and I can tell you that $1,500 can only get you something that is practically the size of a small studio apartment.

Yep, they are trying to live with the wealthy, when they themselves don’t have stable work but are still studying. All while supporting corrupt colleges, who run the schools like a business instead of a learning place. All this is just adding debt to themselves.

Garrett Rodgers yea i agree theyre living too expensively for students, but at the same time, the thing is, if you get the right degree, even if you get like 150k in debt total, that can easily be paid off in like 5 years or less if you have a high paying job. But the problem is those who get near useless degrees or choose to go to overpriced "elite/private" schools......and also those who pay the debt as slow as possible even when they can afford to pay it off faster by living more frugally....

It has nothing to do with “the right degree”, that’s just the sales pitch colleges give to naive young people. It’s all about what you do with the education you have afterwards. So many people have the degree they wanted but don’t end up going where they thought they’d be after earning it.

Robert C yea...im sure someone with a liberal arts degree has more earning potential than someone with an engineering or other technology or health care major....gtfo

WOW, YOU'RE SO RIGHT.

It's actually a pretty crap apartment for the price, I'm going to guess she bought it because of the zoning rather than because of the apartment it's self, you can definitely get something twice as big if you look hard enough.

Anarchy Empire oh so that apartment was worth 6000 a month Houston is way better than NYC and Houston apartment was pretty nice

And the New York had nothing compared to the Houston apartment
