Regarding the comment on living in NYC: >The same goes for us in NYC! Rents in Manhattan for a 250 sq ft studio are >easily $1900 or more.
>A two bedroom apt in a good neighborhood (with good schools) easily costs >$850K or more. My younger brother lives in Scottsdale, AZ. He owns a nice, >two level house for what our 1 bdrm apt costs! New York City does NOT have to be an expensive place to live, and can be VERY reasonable! You can pay $ 8,000.00 per month for an average 2 bedroom in the West Village Manhattan, or you could pay $ 1500.00 for a nice 2 bedroom in Bay Ridge Brooklyn, (20 mins to Manhattan). And if $1500 is too much for you, you could buy a 2 bedroom Coop in Flatbush Brooklyn for around $220 k. Note both Brooklyn neighbourhoods have great food, great subways, lots of amenities, and Bay Ridge is right on the water, with great public schools. NYC can be very affordable and fantastic to live in, it's called move to "Brooklyn", (which is way cooler then Manhattan now anyways). And if Brooklyn is too expensive move to Queens, a little more boring, but you can knock another 25% off the rent. Keep in mind these places are within a 20 min subway ride to Manhattan, safe, better food then Manhattan, often better clubs and bars and parks. In the 5 Burroughs of New York only 1 is really expensive, and that's Manhattan, (unless of course you want to move to Harlem in Manhattan, very cool at $2 + k for a 2 bdrm, or by Columbia University around the same price). Give me a shout if you want to find a mega deal great neighbourhood in NYC. -- Joseph Rich Rogan President UX/UI Inc. http://www.jrrogan.com ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
