That's the first time I've seen an apartment that could be completely photographed with two pictures using a non-wide angle lens.

Okay, now I just want to drown my rental troubles-related sorrows in a big bottle of whiskey.

If you have access to Matthew Kilgore's Facebook group for housing, it's the best of the best for great affordable apartments. Every New Yorker should be know of it. I think, besides as I said jumping on an old lease through word-of-mouth.

Kinda cute, I'd live there.

Yes! 9pm can leave work. Bye.

Shared Bathroom

Nevermind

I don't think we have enough of a network to jump on someone's old lease. But will check out this group, thanks.

When you trot in blacked out at 3 am, just having a floor seems like a real luxury.

LOLOLOLOL.

Primarily, I hate myself for liking NYC so much. Fuck you, NYC. Fuck you.

This getting so pointless. By MFH do you mean Manhattan? You twist my words a lot, first the single roommate (I said roommates), and $1500 for a 1BR that can fit 2 south of 125th when I said Manhattan except Harlem (so south of 125th and north of 125th), then $1500 for a 2 bedroom (which I never said was possible).

Anyways, here is one: http://www.trulia.com/rental/3146699371 ... 27#photo-3

See how there is already half a wall between the kitchen area and the living room? And the kitchen has a separate window already. It's an example of a one bedroom that could be made into 2 in Morningside Heights for 1569, I would think if you went more up or more east there would be bigger and/or cheaper options. Not that I would ever want to do this/advise someone else to, as I said earlier. But if I had to make it into a 2 bedroom, I would add the rest of the wall and a door to the kitchen to living area half-wall (door opening inside living area). It actually could be OK because even though temporary interior walls are not usually sound-proof, the only audio isolation that really matters would be there (real wall between the two bedrooms). It would be a situation where one has to walk through the other's room to get around, but I know people with actual 2 or 3 bedrooms that still have this problem. One of my acquaintances got this done in NYC for $150 (and paid again to have it taken down a little before the end of the lease when prospective tenants started visiting).

I honestly marvel at New Yorkers. I do the math and figure out I can afford neither a 350 sq ft 1br nor a 600 sq ft 2br w/ a roommate in Manhattan and I'm thinking "Well I guess I should look deep in New Jersey." New Yorker confronted with the same situation thinks "I better check and see if I can afford a 350 sq ft 2br or a 600 sq ft 4br." I really wish I had that in me.

^^^ I don't think that. I just can't commute out of NJ because I have a small child to pick up from daycare at the end of each day. I'm kind of stuck being committed to living within a reasonable distance from work.

Isn't NJ just as far as Brooklyn?

Peast can explain how train lines work to you

What do you think?

By the way, I have no love for Brooklyn. But commute-wise, it's up there in feasibility.

According to google maps, Hoboken is a quicker commute than williamsberg. But I don't know the area.

Oh sorry, midtown.


@riot
Ah I see, you gotta be near a big triain station. makes sense.

iirc the headways suck. So yeah, if you exactly hit the train, it might be the same time. But on average you'll be waiting for a train longer than for an MTA line.

[dresden doll]

NJ isn't feasible. We looked.

TBF, it's probably gonna be Long Island City or Queens, depending on which fucks us less in terms of the daycare/school situation.

[cotiger]

Just checked. Starting at midnight, there's one train every 35 minutes. Unacceptable.

[dresden doll]

Also, DF, you know I don't work in midtown east. It would take longer than an hour to commute for me. Which I guess can be done if I ask to adjust my work hours, but I strongly prefer to avoid doing that.

[kalvano]

For some reason, the worst part about living in NYC to me is not the stupidly high rents or anything like that. It's laundromats. Fuck that. Or at least it was until I saw "shared bathroom."
