[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JFC.  My best friend lives in NYC.  She is a teacher, and her husband is a librarian.  They rent and apartment and their two daughters share a room.  It's not ideal, but they have enough "to live on," without family money.[/quote]

Way fewer people than you think are reading "two daughters share a room" while calculating a teacher and librarian salary and think this is palatable. Go on Zillow, look at townhouses under 750k in Logan Circle with 3BR. Then tell us that the sacrifice to call yourself a New Yorker makes any sense here. Your best friend isn't living. She is a wagie and being super selfish trying to live out some weird fantasy.[/quote]

lol ok. We know you’d say the same thing if she was living in DC too. [/quote]

People making 800k and owning a 750k townhouse with a room for each child in DC in a safe neighborhood would not spark an 11-page thread.  It would be a responsible decision, if anything a bit too stingy.[/quote]

You don’t think they’d be on here insulting anyone who lived in Logan Circle? lol. [/quote]

No one would say buying a 750k townhouse on a 800k income is foolish, no they wouldn’t. [/quote]

Of course they would. They would say you were slumming it in a crime ridden neighborhood to make a point. let alone if you sent the kids to the DCPS elementary. [/quote]
