[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a bit unfair - her main complaint is being unable to afford living closer to her job. Housing unaffordablity is a big deal. [/quote]

Do we know where she lives, where she works and how much she makes? I can’t comment without knowing those details. But I watched about 5 seconds of that video with the sound turned down, and I can’t believe we’re giving this person more and more attention. [/quote]

She works in New York and commutes in from outside the city.[/quote]

So, like millions of people who have come before her. And continue to do so, on purpose.[/quote]

In the past, young office workers in NY could afford shared apartments and live in the city. They only moved to the suburbs when they got married and had families.  Now they can’t afford to live in the city, and instead live in their childhood bedrooms and spend an hour or more commuting in.  I’ve done it. It’s soul-sucking and I would have been beyond miserable if I had to do it as a twenty-something.  [/quote]

No one is forced to work in New York City.  They accept these jobs at lower pay because there is a line of new college graduates who want to enjoy the city or get a start in a "glamorous" industry.    And I don't know what her salary is, but my new college grad just got a roommate and they share a 2 bed, 2 bath in Chelsea.[/quote]
