NY Rent? Forum

[johndooley]

cool story bro

how much do you spend on rent in NYC?

You should read the thread and my prior comments. I do not spend a penny on NYC rent. My wife wants to purchase an apartment in Manhattan but I am firmly against it. For the monthly HOA/maintenance fees we can easily go once a month in a pretty nice hotel. We can go to all of the same meals, shows, and "cultural" events you do but without the same hassles. If we end up purchasing a second personal residence it would likely be a ski condo or a pied-a-terre to escape FL summers.

Pretty sure the point was that in a thread where the OP was asking what they should realistically pay for rent in NYC, arguing that NYC is too expensive and that people who live there are marks isn’t exactly responsive or productive.

To be fair, another poster invited me to this thread.

I am sorry to hear your wife is unsatisfied

It is not a major point of contention. A Colorado mountain town or Tahoe is better for family vacations anyway.

Tahoe????????? FLORIDA MAN may not be so Florida after all. Dooley. Delivers.

My family won't be caught skiing in New Hampshire or North Carolina. It is funny how many late 20s/early 30s posters here need to justify their own debt and fixed salary by attacking anyone who took a different path and came out okay. Let's see how many of them build a real estate portfolio or purchase waterfront property in a decade. Also funny how me telling my wife buying property in NYC does not make sense for us is a sign of dissatisfaction. I take it that poster is single too.

Only got one account. Maybe it is hard for you to believe some appreciate what I have to say. TLS gets a bit stale when everyone is an associate or recent in house hire in NY/DC/occasionally another market.

Runner-up is a tie between Ferrisjo and Da Rascal. The former for sparking a flame war over his law school choice and the latter for being a criminal.

Brooklyn, in Jamaican area of E. Flatbush. Seems pretty safe. Between Crown Heights and Brownsville. 2 bedroom, one bath, no doorman, $2100 total for the apartment. Technically you could have 3 living here with a divider panel in the living room. It would not be luxurious but it would be perfectly acceptable. Then walk 14 minutes to Rutland Ave 3 train to Manhattan which is about 40 minutes. It does not seem too oppressive, and that goes for women as well as men. You can walk to market in 2 minutes, as well as a doctor office 2 minutes away and a laundromat in the building.

You are a troll.

Isn’t this the neighborhood that even Mike Tyson got beaten up and bullied in as a kid?

[danishblue]

I think Tyson was beaten up in Brownsville as a kid. I'm closer to Crown Heights. And someone can easily be killed in Manhattan steps away from Columbia. Which sadly has happened. 2 Columbia students, one of them Tessa Majors a few years ago.

What is the point of any of this? Yes, a ton of people in the tri-state area (especially parents) know her name and the incident, you can say "a Columbia freshman was murdered several years ago by minors" rather than flippantly mentioning the name of someone who was massacred.

[danishblue]

The point of it was to discuss the rent in NYC and how safe certain areas are.
I didn't know there was a policy here against giving the name of a deceased person, which was in the news, daily, in NYC.
I can't see how any reasonable person could conclude that I was treating the situation in a frivolous way.

Tyson is also like 56. I don't know much about the neighborhoods in question (last time I was in Crown Heights was almost 10 years ago and I've never lived there) but I know the fact that my neighbor was telling me about there being an open air drug market across the street from where I live in a HCOL city when he first moved in ~15 years ago has little to do with my comfort level living there with my family today.

Can one person be massacred? Why does it matter that the killers were minors? What was so flippant?

I think your Dooley personality was better than your real personality, so can you revert back to that persona?

The poster is a confirmed troll on multiple threads which, traditionally under TLS, is fine but making light of someone getting killed is in extremely poor taste. I only mentioned the killers were minors because you can indicate the incident being referred to with that detail and avoid mentioning her name.

Lol exactly. Tyson was not even a teenager when he would get beat up there and Cus D'Amato brought him to upstate NY to live with him.

The odds of you living here after mentioning Mike Tyson getting beat up and saying going to Cooley type schools is fine for big law because T14 kids are into other opportunities are all indicators that you are not serious. In the context of trolling, mentioning her name is gross.

Regarding above. I was responding to another poster who mentioned Tyson. "Going to Cooley type schools", I don't know what that means, I don't know what Cooley is. Some T14 kids are looking for affordable housing in a decent area near NYC. I don't know what you mean "into other opportunities". "Context of trolling"? Isn't it true that trolling is whatever someone believes it is? It's an overused, vague word.

I'm not communicating well with my critic above. Maybe someone else can come in and tell me how I'm trolling. And how I'm gross for mentioning the name of the deceased Columbia student, a name that was mentioned daily on talk radio and NYC news channels for months after the tragic incident.

If you do not know what Cooley (the butt of legal profession jokes/a highly reputable large law firm) is, then you are almost certainly neither a law student nor a lawyer, let alone one in big law.

On another thread you repeatedly argued that T14 students are uninterested in big law and that is why non-T14 students have tons of big law opportunities, which is misleading to say the least.

Only a troll asks another person to define troll. You know what you are.

Yes, the name was mentioned by journalists discussing events and crime in the metro area. You are here giving horrible career advice and saying how safe some of the most sketchy parts of the five boroughs are. In that trolling context, mentioning her name is disrespectful.

Partly correct, I'm not in BigLaw. When someone never heard of Cooley, I think you're jumping to all kinds of odd conclusions. Can you forward me my post where I argued that T14 students are uninterested in BigLaw? I guess you don't care to define troll, maybe because it's a vague and overused word. "Only a troll asks for a definition of troll". Wow, that's a good one. Well then, I'm guilty as charged, since I did in fact ask for a definition of troll. You got me.
When I said "Seems pretty safe to me" regarding my area of E. Flatbush, that is not me trying to sell people on the safety of NYC. Also, every time I see the news I'm seeing more crime in the nice areas of Manhattan, (subway attacks, violent crime), compared to my so called sketchy area near Crown Heights.

Once again, if someone can step in and tell me how I'm trolling and gross, it would be wonderful, since I'm not understanding my critic above so well. And because of that, my critic shall have the last word, and I shall now bow out.

A non-troll would have an account older than ten days and would not engage in arguments in every thread he or she enters.
