[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the pages but reading through the ones I have shows me how out of touch people really are especially the post about the couple making 1.5 but there daughters bedroom is the den.

My husband and I live in a nice middle class neighborhood in Brooklyn in a 3 bedroom 1400 sq foot apartment. My daughters bedroom is the same size as ours which for nowadays is big. We make 100k and survive well because we're not full of ourselves tryi.g to live somewhere we can't afford.

People can afford NYC if they really wanted to but people make choices to live in affluent neighborhoods they can't afford and live a lifestyle to keep up with others.

This is a home a few blocks from me that the above could afford.

Big law attorneys don’t live in Bensonhurst. Most people there either don’t speak English or they chase minorities like Yusef Hawkins or reenact Saturday Night Fever. If your budget leads you to Bensonhurst, just move to the suburbs. You’ll need a car or two either day. 2.3mm to live there is a ripoff. [/quote]
